DAVID BROOKS: Does Anyone Think Sarah Palin Can Handle A Crisis? White House Isn't American Idol
Business Insider ^ | 05/30/2011 | Glynnis MacNicol

Posted on 05/30/2011 8:39:20 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

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."

Thanks for the link. I had heard it was Brooks but you’re right, it was Rose, but Brooks was even more pathetic as the conversation progressed. Clearly, these gals have no idea just how whipped they sound.

ROSE: This White House is very much an intellectual hothouse.

BROOKS: Intellectual power.

ROSE: The self-confidence and the intelligence.

BROOKS: There are certain intellects which are like fluorescent, and the president is one of them.

ROSE: He seems to be like Michael Jordan with 30 seconds to go. He wants the ball. He seems to be like Joe Montana with two minutes to go.

BROOKS: He e-mails him, “You’re like Michael Jordan,” and Obama e-mails him back, “Just give me the ball.”

ROSE: I didn’t even know that.

BROOKS: Yeah, there you go.

BROOKS: Obama didn’t need the crowd. The crowd needed him.

I wonder how badly the crowd needed him after that monumental smackdown by Netanyahu on 5/20.

Wasn’t she one of the first to call for a no fly zone with Libya? Long before Obama did.

WTF do you think National Socialism is? Did you go to school to eat your lunch, or are you going to make up some bullshit about how the comment was misinterpreted?

Wow, two posts, two f-bombs. Do you think you will intimidate us with your foul language? That may work on your wife, but it’s not going to work on us. Two of us have already pointed out that it was you who brought up the Nazi’s. There are national socialist parties all over Europe, South and Central America and there are plenty of them right here in the good ol’ USA and none of them are Nazi’s. When you come by and crap on a thread you can expect some to splash back on you.
