Adios, Sarah
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 08:51PM It's an odd move -- flaky might be a better word -- and will go down as a career-killer for her. I understand her reasons -- she wants to promote her book, make a little coin, campaign for other Republicans, and cherry pick national issues to her liking -- but that is not a president make. The speech itself was simply frightening -- disjointed, rambling, cliche-ridden, and non-sensical.
Palin needed to burnish her credentials as a political heavy-weight, and show that she has the intellectual bandwidth to hold our nation's highest office, but with this move she's done just the opposite. Palin once again confirmed that she has horrible political instincts, and all but conceded that she isn't willing to put in the time and effort to really learn the ins and outs of governing. The big winner (yet again): Mitt Romney. He must be grinning from ear to ear with this news; check off another contender from the list.
