Now that's a mud wrestling match that I'd pay plenty to watch, but alas...
Whether Palin has a national future or not will depend on her willingness to hit the books at some point and absorb more information about international history and politics than she has needed to know in her role as governor. She also needs a shrewder, cooler take on the mainstream media, with its preening bullies, cackling witches, twisted cynics and pompous windbags. The Northeastern media establishment is in decline, and everyone knows it. Palin should not have gotten into a slanging match with David Letterman or anyone else who has been obsessively defaming her or her family. Let surrogates do that stuff.
She also laments Palin's somewhat unpolished interactions with media and public. That is a valid criticism if what you expect from a politician is business as usual. For those of us looking for a breath of fresh air, unpolished is a welcome change.
I have to agree on the media thing---she'll need to let most of this media stuff roll off her back.
Letterman is an angry, bitter, pathetic excuse of a man who we shouldn't dignify with even a protest.
The Left is scared of her. That's why the libtards are treating her as they treated Reagan. Maureen Dowd is especially obnoxious (must be still bitter that George Clooney didn't want her).
Palin and Reagan appear to be cut from similar cloth, and I LIKE that!
I'm glad Sarah resigned. I think it's a brilliant move. Now let's see how she uses this opportunity.
