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

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

Oh, no he doesn't, and cut the populist crap.

Krauthammer means that Sarah Palin still talks a good bumpersticker, but her policy prescriptions have problems withstanding any serious scrutiny. It suggests that she doesn't actually understand in any real depth the issues she discusses.

Her facebook post (yesterday) about Afghanistan was a good example. She couldn't even keep her own points straight; and she just ignored some of the realities of what Karzai was saying.

You might recall the insurgency in Iraq, before Petraeus changed strategy. It was fueled by the bad guys successfully selling regular Iraqis on the idea that the US was an occupying force who were indiscriminately killing civilians. (This wasn't true, but there were enough actual incidents that it helped them to make the case.)

Worst of all, Palin seems to have defended the killing of women and children in the name of getting terrorists.

A talking head or a pundit can get away with that sort of thing, but a president cannot. Had Palin spent any serious time studying the situation in Afghanistan and elsewhere -- that is, "schooling herself," she would have spoken more carefully.
