It's not often that hear a mainstream media member have anything nice to say about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

This is why it's worth noting ABC's Jonathan Karl uttering without an audible stammer on Sunday's This Week, "Sarah Palin is 4 for 4 on her Senate endorsements" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Shocker from ABC's Jonathan Karl: 'Sarah Palin Is 4 for 4 on Her Senate Endorsements'

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, HOST: We have got a couple more primaries coming up. Missouri and also Wisconsin, where Tommy Thompson, the former governor, facing some trouble as well from Tea Party challenger.

JONATHAN KARL, ABC: And I would say, Deb Fischer in Nebraska, not exactly a Tea Party candidate, although she was endorsed by Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is 4 for 4 on her Senate endorsements. But they are not all Tea Partiers. She endorsed Orrin Hatch. And Fischer in Nebraska was not endorsed by any of the Tea Party groups.

I've watched it several times. He really did say this.

Will wonders never cease?

And after Tuesdays Senate election in Missouri she will be 5 for 5 when Sarah Steelman wins.

[marron]

I am rather proud of the way she has handled herself. She walks tall in my view.

[SMGFan]

Do any additional Senate primary endorsements remain after Mo. ?

[donozark]

She has not endorsed in Wisconsin.

[Candor7]

Will Sarah walk onto the GOP convention floor with a 5 for 5
endorsement record for the early Senate races?

Myth may yet NOT be the GOP nominee.Sarah is not a Myth. She is delivering the goods, something Myth has never done.

Why are we wasting bandwidth on these dolts. They look at us as if we are goat hurders from The Peoples Silly Republik of Uchuckupstan. They are clueless as to who, what, why, of what we are and if we invited them out to coffee to explain ourselves., they wouldn’t have the B@!!$ to come.... Who cares what they think or say...

[little jeremiah]

That’s what I’m hoping.

[353FMG]

She should also start to name all the RINO senators and housemembers that should get the boot.

List them all, one by one.

Jonathan Karl just wants to climb on the Sarah bus ..... he knows it's going to the White House, sooner or later.

He just wants to be invited for melon balls and smores.

Someone ought to vet his output 2008-present to see if he can be on the bus, or cast headlong down like fallen Lucifer! lol

I'm still waiting on the convention. They will NOT dare let her in that hall before the roll call.

[lentulusgracchus]

Myth may yet NOT be the GOP nominee. Sarah is not a Myth. She is delivering the goods, something Myth has never done.

That isn't what got Mittens's little Screwtapes sticking long needles in Sarah four years ago, well before the endorsements began. He's always been afraid of her -- or anyone stronger than he is (but I repeat myself!).

If Sarah Palin shows up at my barbecue she will be guest of honor.

I don’t know why it is so remarkable that she is pretty good at picking candidates. She seems pretty well informed compared to her critics.

My favorite example is when she popped off at a “tea party” event and said, “Lets party like it is 1773!”

The left all went nuts laughing over the fact that she didn’t know that all that stuff happened in 1776 - heck “everyone” knows that!

Interestingly, the “original” tea party, the Boston Tea Party, occurred on December 16, 1773. Funny Palin knew that and no liberal critic did.

Hint to Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, et.al.
Rent a video of “The King and I” and focus on the wisdom of Phra Bat Somdet Phra Poramenthramaha Mongkut Phra Chom Klao Chao Yu Hua, aka “King Mongkut,” [Yul Brynner] and learn that, “When one does not know what to say, it is a time to be silent.”
