Krauthammer: Palin "Not Schooled" In Policy; Doesn't Know She Needs It

FOX News contributor Charles Krauthammer gives his take on what a "Washington establishment elitist" thinks of a potential Sarah Palin run for the presidency. In self-deprecating fashion, Krauthammer says he wears Palin's "hoity-toity" comment as a badge of honor.

"She is very smart and adept. Great political instincts and is a star. The problem with her, I think, is that she is not schooled. I don't mean she didn't go to the right schools. I mean when you get into policy, beyond instincts -- I like her political instincts, I like her political overall view of the world -- but when it comes to policy, she had two-and-a-half years to school herself and she hasn't and that's a problem," Charles Krauthammer told Bill O'Reilly on Tuesday. "It's not only the lack of schooling, it's the lack of effort to school herself and the lack of insight to see that she needs it."

Charles, you pompous Fox bureaucrat. Ronald Reagan was "schooled" at Eureka College. And by the way, in case your schooling has failed you, he brought down the Soviet Empire.

And where is Eureka College? Miss Frickett wants to know too:

The Krauth is a neo-con whore. He trashed McLame to the point conservatives gave up the battle in 2008. Charlie... if you can't say something nice about a fellow GOPer, then STFU... I am sooooo sick and tired of this high-browed fool. His opinions are just that. Neo-con claptrap opinions.

Who’s policy” is Palin suppose to get “schooled” in? RINO policy? Marxist policy? Neo-Con policy? Soros’ policy?

[Texas Eagle]

Then why the hell don’t you run for President, you jackwagon. You know so damned much about everything.

[goodnesswins]

“not schooled”....well of course not....this from a psychoanalyst who worked in the Carter Administration.....we’ll SCHOOL YOU, krautyboy

[kittymyrib]

Saurkrauthammer is just grousing because Sara doesn’t need the media. That is his bread and butter. He’s also a Romney supporter, as a fellow member of the Ruling Class.

Hold that nose up a little higher when you talk Chucky boy , your snob factor isn't coming through.

[Michael.SF.]

you missed his point.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

While I generally agree with your sentiments about Krauthammer, I think John McCain was John McCain’s worst enemy in 2008.

[Charles Bronson Forever]

Hey, Chuck, if the economy further collapses (AND IT WILL), people will vote for a pencil case over Barry. DEAL WITH IT, PUTZ!!!!!

[ClearCase_guy]

I don't mean she didn't go to the right schools.

Oh, yes you do -- you Eastern Establishment Republican.

Be careful there’s a baby in the house,
And a baby will not be fooled
It will think and do what it wants to
until you get it schooled.

I’ll take someone with the right instincts over someone “schooled.” “Schooled” people think we can negotiate with enemies who want to destroy us. They think you can make a deal with leftists and the leftists will keep their word. They think they have a right to manage other people’s lives, “for their own good,” of course.

...it's the lack of effort to school herself and the lack of insight to see that she needs it."

How do you know what effort she's put into what? What are you? Miss Cleo?

[gimme1ibertee]

For someone so un-schooled,she sure has issued her share of “teachable moments”....Mr.Krauthammer and Mr.O’Reilly need to sit back,shut up,and watch Sarah,the un-schooled one,continue to amaze,confound and frustrate the lamestream.

Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama isn't!

Who cares what his point was?

Charles K. is an enemy of liberty and is an enemy and would-be master of all free Americans. Please do not forget that.

[April Lexington]

Agreed. But, hearing the Krauth hammer McCain after every debate was VERY disheartening and demoralizing. He has a powerful mouth and he does not use it for GOP good.

[A CA Guy]

How does he know what she’s been studying and does he believe if she doesn’t spew beltway views that she is ignorant?
Krauthammer seems like a beltway hack here. Anyone else agree with me here?
