You betcha by golly wow
Frank Rich: Could She Reach the Top in 2012? You BetchaOn This Week, George Will dismissed Sarah Palin as unprepared, uneducated, a quitter, & a mere celebrity (this time for her cameo on DWTS), predicting she wouldn't run for President, as if his smugly saying so makes it so. I laughed. With his Princeton Ph.D, Pulitzer, & inside-the-Beltway arrogance, Will is almost as much an enemy to Tea Partiers as Barack Obama. Frank Rich explains why.
What might bring down other politicians only seems to make her stronger: the malapropisms and gaffes, the cut-and-run half-term governorship, family scandals, shameless lying and rapacious self-merchandising. In an angry time when America’s experts and elites all seem to have failed, her amateurism and liabilities are badges of honor. She has turned fallibility into a formula for success.
