For any number of reasons, some best dissected on a psychiatrist’s couch, conservative pundits within the Beltway have as hard a time coping with Sarah Palin as their liberal counterparts.
On Sunday, FOX News commentator and former White House Press secretary Dana Perino did the dishing. Perino found it “very discordant” that one day Palin could be seen camping on her reality show or heard tweeting about some “cute thing” and then the next day produce “a very serious and thoughtful piece about a nuclear Iran.” Concludes Perino about the USA Today piece on Iran, “It doesn’t sound like her when you read the materials.”
This multi-tasking seems beyond Perino, what with her mass communications degree from Colorado State University-Pueblo and her masters degree in public affairs reporting from the University of Illinois-Springfield. “Authenticity matters more than ever,” Perino assures us and suggests that Palin’s presumed lack of the same is worth our attention.
Whether Palin actually wrote the piece on Iran I cannot say, but like just about everything attributed to Palin, it is as sensible and straightforward as Palin herself. She could easily have written it.
In Palin’s memoir, Going Rogue, Palin does not shy from crediting Lynn Vincent for “her indispensable help in getting the words on paper.” And yet the story is told honestly and sincerely in Palin’s voice. There is no artifice, no postmodern mumbo jumbo, and not a sentence in the book Palin could not have written herself. My personal favorite, “I love meat.”

Palin's a very intelligent woman and I really wouldn't doubt that she is capable of writing and making the speech that she is being doubted for having written and all – it is about time people started seeing Sarah Palin for the intellectual human being that she is – just because she is doing an Alaskan TV series on outdoors life and more, doesn't mean that is all she is capable of being able to do – it is assinine for anyone to think in those terms really. Get away from the MSM and see her for the real person she is – or quit speaking out about something you don't know anything about I would say.
I don't watch the show,but I AM a big Palin fan too!!!

come on Perino, just cause FOX hired you on doesn't make you a know it all.
YEA! Like ovomit writes the SHIT he spews out!!
I am voting for Sarah Palin in 2012 , I sincerely hope everyone that wants to save our country will do likewise , I am voting for her if she doesn't run , I am voting for her if she is not nominated , I am voting for her regardless of who runs against her in the primary AND in the in the general election . I like Herman Cain and Allen West but I do not think a black man can be elected in either party because of the mess Obama created with his despotic progressive rule . Aside from Palin being very intelligent and qualified for the office, ( much more so than Obama is even now ), She scares the democratic cheerleaders , ( lames stream media ), clear to death , and I do support the death penalty .
Palin can NEVER EVER BEAT OBAMA! WOMEN CONTROL THE VOTE, SO IT CAN NOT OCCUR!
I'LL REMIND EVERYONE AGAIN IN 2112, if I'M ALLOWED? WATCH!
Victor,
PLEASE keep the ALL CAPS down. It's hurting everybody's eyes.
But, anyway I agree with all your points to include if we're allowed.
No really! Certainly she has the backing of several Republicans, but that
alone is not enough to win. It is the undecideds that is the target.
Just a note to the thumbsdowners.
Those "thumbdowners" are just trying to "refudiate" you, Gary.
At least it is only a couple thumbs down. I was expecting to get a thumbs down
for all 57 states. Plus the three that haven't been visited yet.
That's funny enough to get a "thumbs up" from me. Happy New Year!
Thanks Gary. I used caps because I'm s-o-o-o disappointed with the American voter! It's tragic! Think this, how could we have a man run for President, whose father overthrew the only other Republic in the world(Kenya), while his son makes the same promise and our CIA & FBI let him run wthout any problems? Obviously, this New World Order Plan always has been andcontinues to be a plan for a Marxist(Anti-Messiah) World Government and that means that our governmentalways was andstillis Marxist in planning! Think about it, Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, FDR, Truman, Not Kennedy(he faught them in WW II, and probably the real reason why he was killed too), Carter, Clinton, on and on!I may have been born at night but not last night! What do the Marxist call it, oh yeah: “by the democratic process!” Schools did their jobs, didn't they! Now, Obama says that he's going to give the 2112 budget a week later. Hello Marxism and the New World Order under Obama. Well, it only will last for 3 1/2 years plus 3 1/2 days. Watch!
As the world turns, a great soap story that lasted for years. As Palin speaks will out last it and have more fans. Women do not control the vote. Besides being intelligent, good looking, Palin also shoots straight. Men can get into that big time. The age of women's double talk is coming to an end, men are following their heads and not their hearts on this one. So with Palin they get a twofer. Strong straight forward woman who happens to be easy on the eyes. Most women that don't like her are jealous of her. I suggest they start subscribing to hunting and fish magazines, hiking through the woods a couple hours a day and learning how to cook rabbit stew.
For an essentially brain-dead or otherwise brainwashed electorate, Palin's authenticity is simply too much to bear, too much to grasp, or too much to deal with. The essentially lazy, illiterate or otherwise star-gazing electorate is now accustomed to demagogues and Madison Avenue-packaged performers. Less challenging and much easier to deal with. We are the problem. Not Palin's authenticity. And, of course the tendentious LSM willfully and dishonestly contributes to this public malaise and ignorance to the detriment of objectivity and integrity. Why should we be surprised her authenticity is a problem.
Its funny how the left, is always coming up with some stupid way of attacking Palin. Why don't they ask the real questions. Start with all of osama's broken campaign promises and how he is trying to destroy this country. How the left is always attacking the rights of the people. How they keep trying to cram their left wing agenda down everyone's throat!
Perino is what we call a rino! Ever since she came on the scene on FOX, I've wondered if she was a democrat or a so called republican. She makes me sick! Who the hell is she that we should listen to her? Because she worked for Bush, this makes her an expert? Hell no, why doesn't she just get a job and keep her stupid opinions to herself!
