John Podhoretz tells fellow conservatives an inconvenient truth:
Last week, the day Palin made her bombshell announcement, Jonah Goldberg wrote her an open letter urging Palin to bone up on issues and become fluent before taking the big jump into a presidential race. I'm not sure that's the issue for Palin any longer. Her Achilles heel isn't her failure to understand policy; she'll be talking like a wonk in three months if she wants to. Her problem is that she seems to be one of those people who stirs up whirlwinds and dust storms. These are not all of Andrew Sullivan's making. One reason to be oddly grateful for the loss of John McCain in November is the question of what it would have been like to have Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin get married, and then have the Vice President's machetenesteh (the great Yiddish word for "my child's mother in law") busted for running a meth lab drugs, as Levi's mother was.For Palin to have a serious future in national politics, she will have to achieve an image of stability in her private life that it does not now possess. It may take a decade for that to happen, as her kids grow up and make their way themselves.

Ken July 8, 2009 10:03 AM How is Obama a serpent exactly?
Charlie Chan say: "Serpent speak with forked tongue."
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/rulings/promise-broken/
(However, it's too early to tell if he will break most of his promises, or only some of them; but some of the ones he's broken are/were important ones.)
Politics is the art of the possible, and every politician promises more than they can deliver. What matters to me is if I think they're doing what they can, and I think it's clear Obama is, and not all promises can be fulfilled at once.
And to say that Obama and Ms. the-Department-of-Law would protect me are equally qualified/unqualified for the job strikes me as absurd.
Someone please direct me to why Palin is unintelligent and nasty? I read a little here and there and for the most part all I get is MSM stating she is the worst person ever and then Fox News stating she is the coming of Christ. Someone please tell me where to find the real Palin. From what I have seen, she is a honest person but maybe I read Brietbart and Drudge too much.
Mrs. Damian, google
palin new republic barracuda,
palin vanity fair purdham,
palin andrew sullivan 12 lies, and
palin, huffington post, cancer, b . . . " (five letter nasty word)
(The b . . . . is not a reference to Palin).
Palin is a clown and has no business being part of any government with her kooky, ignorant and racist views. It's still blows my mind that she was ever even asked to run for VP. McCain must have been smoking Levi's mom's crack!
