Palin does a WaPo OpEd

Rate: 6 Flag

And it reads reasonably articulately - perhaps the Post hasn't got rid of all the copy-editors yet.

Anyway, so much for people who thought she'd be a commentator on Fox News.  (Maybe it was her pal Kristol, on the Post, who arranged this.)

The piece directly attacks Obama.  Good God, maybe she's gonna run for prez after all!

Detailed analysis to follow - by Saturn, perhaps.  Not me - I'm going to bed.  Perchance to have nightmares...

Found the story on Huff. One of the comments was,

"Sarah, you had us at good-bye.

Please don't ruin it."
If they see us citizens bawling?
Or,
if we see them creeps whine?
Let's carry a baby pacifiers.
Then:`stuff it in their mouth!
Myriad.
Carrots are extra sweet:`Great.
You have sweet dreams:`Moon.
You know.
Abe Lincoln said:`No matter how
much the cats fight they still breed
and have a lot of scrounge kittens
apologies to cat sneezers. A.L.?
I love real barn cats and mutts.
EEK!!!! It almost made sense, I'm scared. I WANT TO VOTE FOR HER!! Nooooooo!! ~runs from the stage~ :)

Sweet dreams.
Your announcement is sufficient, I do not want to read it.
I want to know who really penned her WaPo article because that half-wit certainly did not. Compare it with her resignation speech and the differences are remarkable.

When will this failed reality show politico just go away?
Sweet dreams. Don't let the Palinbugs bite.
There's an interesting comment by Ezra Klein at the Post this morning - http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/ (sorry, don't know how to imbed in comments), where he says -

"...It's probably a bit kind to say that Sarah Palin "wrote" this. There are no words in all capital letters. There are no sports metaphors. There is nothing at all like "*((Gotta put First Things First))*." The stylistic and grammatical tics on display in last week's speech are totally absent. Sarah Palin signed her name to this. Or at least let someone else do so.

But that's not all that's missing. The term "global warming" is absent. So is "climate change." It's a bit like an op-ed that attacks firefighters for pointing pressurized water cannon at everything but never mentions fires, or a column that condemns surgeons for sticking sharp things into people but never mentions illness.

You could no more argue with this op-ed than you could drive a car made out of candy. Though it looks like one thing, it's actually another. And that other is a declaration of political intent: Palin is going to spend the next couple of years trying to act as leader of the opposition. She'll start with what she knows: Drill, baby, drill. And she'll start where she knows. In the media..."
My oh my, no sexism here. I know why Sarah Palin scares you all and I find would find it more amusing if it weren't so pitiful. Shorter you: OMG! It's a conservative breeder female so she must be dumb.

But Joe Biden, now there's a genius!
So the good-bye girl keeps coming back. Pity, we'd like her a lot more if she wasn't just so insistent about things which are clearly out of her depth. In this case, I find it doubtful she even wrote it but rather took the time and effort to sign her name to something she thinks she can understand.
