... because Jim Geraghty does the dirty work for you.
To go through the 9,800 word profile/excoriation of Sarah Palin by Todd Purdum in Vanity Fair and Fisk it line by line would take an enormous amount of time and space, and probably more time than you’re willing to devote to reading it. So for now, the low-lights:
"Whatever her political future, the emergence of Sarah Palin raises questions that will not soon go away. “What does it say about the nature of modern American politics that a public official who often seems proud of what she does not know is not only accepted but applauded?”
I’m still looking for any quote from Palin at any time where she expressed pride in what she does not know....

By the way I commend her for stepping down so the taxpayers of Alaska don't have their money wasted. Most, if not all, other politicians would have tried to save their careers at the taxpayers expense. PALIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

constantly against bogus charges. Palin is far from done. The fact that your party can't seem to leave her alone tells me that. If she were so "stupid" or ineffective, the libs wouldn't even bother wasting their time on her.

Palin quit because you whining scaredy cat liberals keep messing with her (without cause) to the point that she cannot do her job effectivly. And you wouldn't be able to either if you had to defend yourself in court

So, from your answer, I gather that you have no thoughts of your own, but rather you are content to mask yourself in an air of superiority, deigning to expectorate your wisdom to us, the poor misfortunate common folk. To me your must rise a notch or

Whatever the reasons for her actions, she is done politically. Qutting your job is like being a drop-out from school. I think she is a big baby and can't take the heat, so how can she possibly be a good Prez? If you cons pick her you're toast again.

So today we find out that Caribou Barbie is a quitter. How do you wingnuts spin her latest move? She lasted roughly 2/3 of her term. What's up with that?

When did this two-bit blog go to 250 characters? Talk about short-sheeting freedom of speech. I wonder if Sykes would like to have his rants limited? If he was maybe the callers could talk more; the callers are more interesting and revealing anyway.

If I use the word con or R it is to abbreviate like everyone else that blogs here. 500 characters, including spaces, periods, commas and etc. creates a problem sometimes. So I use abbreviations, or name calling to U. I see it here all the time.

The best thing about this piece is that it exposes the writer for what he is -- scared! What is he scared about? What are the rest of the Dems scared about? They did win last year, right? I thought they weren't about fear -- am I wrong?

In the article, very few direct quotes from actual people are used - all innuendo from some supposed "McCain people" and "People in Alaska" - this is trash "journalism" at its trashiest - Fear Palin, you Liberals!

FYI to Palin supportors: This "hit" piece is actually about the infighting involved when Palin was added to the McCain ticket. Not only is she very divisive to the left - she is divisive to the right.

And on the other hand I can find all kinds of great quotes from Obama that tell us he doesn't know what he's talking about. Once again we have the media running cover for Obama and just making up negative stuff on Republicans like Palin.

You are blind to the thuggery of BO and his reckless abandon of due process in the appointing of all his "czars". You will wake up one day and wonder how the government seized total control of our lives. America is being hijacked before our eyes.

Isn't Todd Purdum the husband of former Clinton WH Press Secretary DeeDee Myers? What a shock. A hit piece by a liberal.

Neocon's, Pinheads, Con's, The R's, Wacko's. Amazing how these Democrats debate. Name calling 24-7, so childish just like their faithful leader.

Sarah's "baggage" is the same crap that any viable Repub is going to be tarred with by the MSM. The left fears her because people relate to her.

Although I am a fan of Sarah Palin's I have to agree that I hope she doesn't run. I like her but she has a lot of baggage right now that will just be brought up ad nauseum during an election.

The neocoms are afraid of a woman, who is not plantation based, can speak her own opinion, and can still speak when the telepromtor malfunctions.

Run, Snowbird, Run. The lady scares the pants off of you, and every other left-leaning guy. Why do the lefties have to degrade everyone they disagree with? Why do lefties continue to idol-worship a dictator-supporting president?

So, Snowbird, who would you like to see as the Republican nominee in 2012?

Layoff the kool-aid. Dictatorship?! Regardless of one's political position, I doubt if the American people will tolerate that. I have concerns, questions, and a doubt or two about his agenda, but I'm not running scare and wacko like you neocons.

There may never be another presidential election. Obama is all about dictatorships. Just consider his take on Honduras. He's all about defying our constitution, rule vs.lead the nation and he'll somehow railroad out term limits.

If Palin runs you guys lose again. I'll take any bet from you cons that she won't win the nomination nor win a presidential election if she runs. If the Rs run her only supports how out of touch you guys are.

It’s amazing that the Democrats are still picking on a vice-presidential nominee who lost — 8 months after they lost? They’re picking on Sarah because they are afraid of her and what kind of base she can pick up.

Overall Geraghty is right, of course. One interesting point is "Palin may run for president in 2012, which could very well be a mistake." Reserve judgment on this. I hope it ends up not the case, but the left uses these tactics because they work.

I politics is an etch a sketch, Obama turns the knobs trying to be important. Sara being governor, would shake it clear.
