Sarah Palin: human pin cushion
Sunday, March 29, 2009 at 08:32AM 
I enjoy reading Politico.com -- it's one of my favorite websites. For anyone interested in national politics, it's a daily must-read.
But sometimes they just miss the mark ... like with this three page story on Sarah Palin's "communication missteps" since losing the election.
Evidence of her missteps: her daughter giving an interview to Fox News; her skipping CPAC and some other Republican gatherings in Washington; some miscommunication about Republican events she'll be headlining in June.
Hmmm ... not sure that really requires a 1,500 word piece in March of 2009 -- three full years before any presidential campaign would kick off.
Just seems odd. I was not part of the "national media piled on Sarah unfairly camp" during the campaign. I think she mostly brought it on herself because she was a vastly underwhelming candidate. But this seems gratuitous and a bit hyperbolic. Let's at least wait until she makes some real missteps before piling it on again.

the reason is because she caused mass embarrassment to herself, her party and the country during this election. how she was ever selected will always be a mystery to me. watching her campaign, give interviews, etc was like watching someone running for a local village trustee position.
and to think that she could have been running our country..a rather frightening proposition if you ask me. i am glad media outlets like politico (which i agree is a fantastic web site/roger simon rules) stays on her case even after the dust has settled. she should not be in a position to start planning 3 years hence for another shot and these pieces serve to expose her for who she is.
