Shall I channel George Will’s brain? The following is NOT misogyny! No, really! But it is what he’s probably thinking…
It’s a “threshold question” you see. In other words, according to the King of the RINOs, it’s out of his hands. It’s not that he wouldn’t love to see a real conservative in the White House, it’s just that she can’t pass the nuclear litmus test and therefore the entire question is moot. Palin cannot be President, like say a Joe Biden (snicker), because she is a… Here we go again!
A corollary to Godwin’s Law, according to me and me alone: If a talking-head RINO is truly terrified that a real anti- eastablishment conservative might actually win the Republican nomination, he or she will first… wet themselves, then immediately proffer the theory that so and so cannot possibly be trusted with a single thermonuclear device, let alone the vast arsenal our Armed Forces have at their disposal… OK, it needs a digest version, but you get the drift.

Jim Funkhouser?
I bet when he ws a kid he had to fight his way home every day
They said Reagan was too unstable to be near the red button too.
Look where Reagan got us.
Our enemies SHOULD think we have a madman at the ready.
Can George Will not try to make everything about himself. You self promoter you, stop talking and making every story about yourself!
George Will on Obama: "Barack Obama...is refreshingly cerebral"
Besides disagreeing in generally about Will’s conclusions,I must also disagree with him about threshold questions about fingers on nuclear buttons.
Most people alive today do not remember the Cuban missle crisis. It is something we read in history books. The Spaniards voted in socialist not because they would keep NATO from lobbing nukes, but in part because they decided that withdrawal from engagement with terrorist-related factions on the battlefield might keep their trains from being blown up. Urban liberals think this way, too. Younger urban conservatives are willing to deter would be terrorists by direct action against the terrorists.
The red button talk is more of an afterthought for the vast majority.
Of course, Will, having never done a thing in his privileged life, isn't smart enough to see what he is squandering here.
You made me laugh out loud. Yeah, George is not the hero-type.
He can trust people who have no qualms at killing human beings, but doesn’t trust a woman who values all life, even ones that were deliberately killed by German doctors and millions of Americans? And he is worried about her having the power to make life and death decisions?
Very irrational thinking, indeed, Mr. Will. Maybe it is time for you to retire.
George Will used to write dang good articles. Wonder what’s happened to him.
Perfect! Yes, OMG! Don’t piss off this Pres! He’s (she’s) craaazy! Funny.
Barry is safe, because HE’S the bomb. (In his own mind.)
George, take a Midol and STFU!
Isn't he that pasty, lipless, bow-tie-wearing, token-conservative they keep at ABC?
IMHO,there’s only one reason Will has lasted on the panel of ABC without David for so many years. He carries as much water for the left as for us. It’s a must for the DBM.
Eon's ago we had a thread about Palin's Security Clearance given Alaska like Hawaii has a 24/7 Guard and the Governor has to be in the loop of all the latest and greatest toys they have to protect us, and maybe even make decisions.
I got a lot of feedback, ya or nay if she did, but the question begs, did she have a Higher Clearance than McCain, Obama or Biden? If so why not trust her with the football?
If she did, Will has really stepped in it, big time...
Sarah or Obama is easy for us... I just wonder if Will can choose her now that he has poisoned his well? I’m sure that the Dems are already planning to use his soundbite. George Will is either an absolute moron, or a closet lib.

I knew both Jim and his brother, Sue, when they were growing up. Jim was tough, but nothing like Sue.
