Make no mistake that the Elites on the Right are just as scared of Palin as Obama. The Cocktail Circuit is not going to be a happy place should this common woman make it into the White House. The idea that she might dismiss the Chefs, auction the Jets, and sell the silverware bothers those on the right perhaps even more than those on the left.
Characternot nearly as simplistic as your military friend made it out to me. And as for Palin’s character, which he is so certain is so sterling, you might remind him that we have listened to her for a week now simply liethere is no other word for itthat she fought tooth and nail the “bridge to nowhere.” (there’s a great picture being circulated of her proudly holding a picture of t shirt inscribed “Nowhere, Alaska” at the time she was advocating the bridge).David Frum’s Diary on National Review Online
How absurd is Frum…this absurd. After listing all the attributes that Sarah displays in spades he comes up with a few that apparently only arise once one has traveled the cocktail circuit in DC, thereby barring any of those of us who pay taxes from ever joining the fun. Frum likes the little closed society they have created. How dare the Hoi polloi believe the founders of this country when they declared it was OUR place to lead this country.
But a good executive needs a solid floor of background knowledge so that he / she can sift sense from nonsense in policy proposals. A good executive must be willing to listen to a wide range of views, including some that are not immediately acceptable. A good executive must have a sense of timing: avoiding the equal evils of haste and procrastination. A good executive must have the power to explain and defend his / her actions to a wide variety of audiences, from the largest to the most specialized.
I guess Sarah or one of us needs to be able to act like those “good executives” have acted in the last 50 years in all the Branches of our Government. Nother words run the debt up, security down, military into the ground, illegal immigration through the roof, green wackos into every nook and cranny of our society, and then when they are done running they can sit and watch while Radical Islam kills and kills and kills then all the “executives” can throw up their arms and act surprised when those same lunatics drop 3 buildings in NYC, attack the Military Headquarters in DC and almost attack the Capital Building, which was ONLY saved by us commoners,…this surprise comes after we have spent literally trillions of dollars so that so-called intelligence “executives” could defend against that sort of thing happening.
Color me unconvinced that David Frum can distinguish his ass from a hole in the ground much less understand what it takes to be an successful executive.
