Sarah’s first endorsement

It’s not a Republican. She’s backing Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman for congress from New York. Rogue, indeed. But when the NY Republicans nominate a RINO liberal, and the national party poohbahs are studiously ignoring her and touting Romney, Huckabee and the other usual retreads, she had to do something stunning. Looks like a good start.

Sarah’s reply

Nice to see Sarah Palin coming right back atacha, Barry:

"We know from long experience that the creation of a massive new bureaucracy will not provide us with ‘more stability and security,’ but just the opposite. It’s hard to believe the President when he says that this time he and his team of bureaucrats have finally figured out how to do things right if only we’ll take them at their word."

I still say, along with L.E. Ikenga, the Nigerian-American conservative woman critic of Barry, that Sarah ("an original who [unlike Hillary] will not be used and abused") would make a great president. If the GOP has the guts to nominate her.

Sarah wins one: the death panels removed

Sarah Palin may not be a candidate for a national anything yet, but she’s already whooped Barry on his so-called health care reform. She named the end-of-life provision in the proposed bill a "death panel" for the sick, the elderly and the disabled. Barry, rather inexplicably for a president, a species that usually tries to stay above the fray, fought back in public. Sarah stuck to her guns. Now the Senate is removing the provision from its version of the bill. Go gettum, Sarah!

UPDATE:  She isn’t satisifed, however. I love the way she’s using the intertubes to get her voice out.

Sarah has deeply disappointed her enemies

"She’s like the ex-girlfriend they’re SO over, never want to see again, have already forgotten about — really, it’s O-ver — but they just can’t stop talking about her."

Or filing frivolous ethics complaints, after first issuing a press release about them. But of course.

UPDATE:  Willie Brown’s take: Sarah Palin, political genius.

Sarah, the “hate receptacle”

I spent almost all of Sunday reading the comments to this feminist’s thoughtful post on why Our Sarah–and her innocent children, for crying out loud–attract so much hatred from so-called feminist women. There were almost three hundred comments when I quit a while ago because my eyes hurt.

After Instapundit linked her, she even picked up some conservative and libertarian commenters (after comment No. 142 or so) and more than a few of them express feminist ideals, which I mostly share. But, as they say, we wouldn’t be accepted in the feminist club because we’re not Dem pro-choicers (well, I am pro-choice, albeit with reservations). Well worth your time.

UPDATE:  Most amusing thing at the conservative blog Power Line Monday night. Their Beltway parrot, as one commenter put it, writes a sneering post about Sarah and more than two hundred commenters gang up on him. Haw.

Sarah: Happy Fourth!

From her FaceBook account today regarding her announcement Friday that she will be resigning:

"The response in the main stream media has been most predictable, ironic, and as always, detached from the lives of ordinary Americans who are sick of the ‘politics of personal destruction.’ How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it’s about country."

Heh.

UPDATE:  I laugh at all the "wise ones" who contend that her political career is over, etc. My bet is: She’s going to become the campaigner who makes it possible for the Republicans to win back one or both houses of Congress, then use that IOU to take the nomination in 2012.  

Run, Sarah, run

I’m still hopeful. Her resignation eliminates any claims of conflict-of-interest between running for the 2012 nomination and her job as Alaska’s governor. The Left will continue to hate and mock her, as this low blow demonstrates. So what’s new about their lack of taste? The Right will continue to love her, especially us commoners. The Independents, as always, will get to decide.

UPDATE:  The Puffington Host pulled the mockery at the second link, which was, once again, about Sarah’s retarded son. But Michele Malkin captured the page for, uh, "posterity."
