Former Alaska governor and Going Rogue author Sarah Palin talked to NRO this afternoon in a wide-ranging and frank interview.
She thinks President Obama’s bow to the emperor of Japan reflects an attitude that America should be “subservient to other countries”; characterizes Newt Gingrich’s thinking on NY-23 as reflective of a “political machine”; thinks that South Carolina voters should consider sending Sen. Lindsey Graham a message by supporting a conservative primary challenger; calls the media’s treatment of Carrie Prejean “unfair”; and says she would give John McCain “the benefit of the doubt” in their dispute over whether she was charged with fees for her vetting. And oh, yeah — her anonymous critics don’t have “guts,” and she’s not a David Brooks fan.
“That was a mistake,” Palin says of the Obama bow. “It was symbolic of, perhaps, our country being led to believe that we are subservient to other countries.” She says she would “like to see us head more in the direction of Ronald Reagan’s thinking — knowing that we are a very, very blessed nation and a superpower.” She adds, “We can get there through a position of strength and not believing that we have to kowtow or bow to anybody.” Asked if she would have bowed, she replies, “No, sir.”
Palin famously intervened in the NY-23 congressional race, endorsing Doug Hoffman. Newt Gingrich went the other way. Gingrich’s take on the race “was reflective of the way that some within either political machine, Democrat or Republican, operate,” Palin maintains. “There is, however, a desire for change in our country to move away from that kind of machinery within a party.”

I had to laugh at Hannity tonight when he said he was going to have the first interview about policy. He can't hold a candle to the one Rush gave today, but I think he meant to say TV interview.
Anyway, I'm still a Sarah fan. There - I've said it.
The libs are pooping their pants!
She is everywhere!
Hannity and Luntz infuriated me. They could have had that conversation in the men’s room, not in front of 3 million viewers, critiquing everything Sarah has had to say. She’s not running for office, she’s selling a book, for crying out loud.

I really liked her answers. Also, looks like the Rubio endorsement will be forthcoming. I can’t imagine her supporting Crist.
And her kids can’t go on FB, too negative! It’s funny how the libs mainly swear and call nasty names.
BTTT!
McCain adviser: Palin’s book is fiction (Romneybot Nicolle Wallace attacks Sarah Palin again)
The answer is: she actually believes in the US, its people, and way of life. She HAS REAL CORE VALUES, not the mealy mouthed meaningless junk spewed by career politician and academics.
