"Some have suggested that Palin take courses and learn more about history and policy (I am picturing her as Meg Ryan in I.Q.). I don’t see that happening. She is a gut politician. But she could bone up some and learn not to get down on the media’s level. She was probably plucked prematurely from Alaska, but that can’t be remedied."

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT???

Now that she has some "spare" time on her hands .... (yes, that's irony, yes I was thinking of Trig and her daughters and their new house in Arizona and their recently-expanded house in Wasilla).

But seriously, she should be groomed by the conservative wing with all the mentoring and tutoring that W. got in 1999 and 2000, from the senior best people in the conservative wing of the G.O.P. -- people like John Bolton and John Kyl and Dr. Thomas Sowell and Amb. Alan Keyes. People like Newt Gingrich, after he sits down from his current campaign. Like Bill McCollum, who was one of the impeachment leaders against the Stained One.

Sarah's political instincts don't need tuning, but she can always use the additional context and knowledge framework to help her know where the tanglewood is, where the boodlers and boondogglers live, and where she needs to get busy with her flamethrower, burning out the chicken coops to make everything usable again.
