Plenty of Sunday morning airtime was devoted yesterday to Sarah Palin. George Will says it's common knowledge she shouldn't be trusted with nuclear weapons.
Andrew Sullivan says he's afraid she will run because there's a possibility she could beat Obama.
David Brooks essentially thinks she's a joke.
"Yeah. But, you know, being president is waking up, somebody hands you the crisis and said, "There's a crisis in Venezuela. What are you going to do about it?" Does any, does anybody think Sarah Palin's ready for that? I don't think so. So she can manage her brand.
But running for president is not "American Idol." And I, I think people may agree with her, they may like her, but that doesn't mean they're going to vote for her. And so I--you know, the other thing is she's just not a team player. This is a team sport. Just take one little thing she did this week. She's taking her bus up to New Hampshire.
She doesn't call the Republican Party in New Hampshire, tell, tell them where she's going to appear, what she's going to do. So you got to play as part of the party, you got to play as part of the team.
She's not a team player. I don't think people are going to think she's qualified."

Team player?
Most people with a brain know that "team players" have created the economic and political box canyon the country is facing.
Uh huh. More team players is what we need. More "go along to get along" careerist RINOS and criminal budget looters.
Most great presidents in times of crisis had greatness thrust upon them, and were up to the challenge. Truman and Reagan come to mind.
There are "political" teams and crisis teams.
"team Players" does NOT imply lack of firm leadership and judgement. No president knows it ALL. The advisers a president picks defines success or disaster. "Team Players" are not the same as cabals of looters and Social manipulators.
The best team players in the world today are the OPEC and drug cartels.
Enough said.
CURRENT political climate, no. Destination if continued in the same direction as current with the same or similar leadership....YES!
Ahhh.
The burdens of senility and age-induced muddled thinking.
Looks to me like she's even more successful as a team leader.
Tight, focused teams that get things done. If anybody is an anti-team loner with sycophants, that would be Obama.
There.
Fixed it for you.
Indeed. But I think the nation will be surprised at President Palin's advisors, and will be alarmed at how decisive she turns out to be.
They introduce Godwin's Law in Senility Therapy now?
“This is a team sport.”
LOL. Just...LOL.
We are seeing the mass realization that things have changed. People have woken up. The “bitter clingers” sound-bite was thick, thick irony.
The GOP establishment hates Sarah Palin because they are afraid that they cannot control her.
Same here. I would trust Sarah Palin to make the best decision she can for America. I can not say that about the rest of the Republican field except LTC West.
More thinly veiled sexism from the country club. Why would anyone think Palin is NOT capable of such things? At least no one has come right out and said “how can she hold office and change diapers at the same time?” as they pretty much did in 2008.
Most of the political and press weenies weren’t the point guard leading their team to a state basketball championship in high school.
Not a team player? Jeesh!
Truth is irrelevant. Ask any lib who said “I can see Alaska from my house!” and they’ll tell you it was Palin. You could show them both videos, one of Palin saying you can see Russia from Alaska, and the Tina Fey video, and they’d shut it out of their minds. Palin said it, and that’s that.
Exactly so. Same reason they despise my senator DeMint.
Sarah is playing them like a fiddle and little weenie David Brooks will have his hat handed to him as will Mr. elitist bigshot George Will.
Her strategy of ignoring and not even talking to them will drive them crazy.
I love this approach and it seems to be working.
Brooks should at least admit that he’s not a conservative.
It bugs me to see Sugarland on stage looking gaga over the Won.
As long as they stay quiet, I won’t Dixie Chick them.
Condescending pricks.
