She's not a politician, she's a Fox News commentator. She quit her last job.

How come there is no article titled "Colbert DESTROYS Palin."

Because Fox takes special steps to keep the teabaggers in their special little bubble -- they can't handle the truth.

spend tens of millions on a campaign and who had real ideas about how to unite left and right because there is commonality such as going after Wall Street. I see no such person. Can I state three other reasons why to date Sarah Palin will never be president?
Brzezinski: Yeah.
Halperin: One is that Republican elites behind her back think she’d be horrible for the party. Two is, she’s not appealing to anybody but a narrow slice of American life and she’s heading more and more in that direction based on her rhetoric.
And finally and I think it’s best for the country. She has no ideas. She stands for nothing specific. To go into an event like that with the opportunity to say “I hear you disaffected Democrats” and here’s where we need to go. Great opportunity—she wasn’t woken up and kidnapped and flown to this event.
It’s been on her schedule for a long time. To come in so ill prepared for both the event and the interview with no ideas I think forfeits any claim on being a credible national leader right now.
============
She didn't do her homework, which is the norm for Sarah...she is always unprepared...

Remember the day you woke up & didn't recognize our country
-wondered how could this be?
You felt alone;
Tea Party movemnt means YOU'RE NOT ALONE
thank you Sarah, for your endless sacrifice for our Nation.

She is terrible for the party.

Did she have that written on her hand?

You people sound just like the same idiots (probably are) in 1999/2000 that thought George W. Bush would be a good president because he's the type of guy you could drink a beer with. Hate to break this to you all, but Palin is nothing more than a shrewd political hack and she is fooling you. You are just too dense to realize it. Morons.

Sarah's role is to svck campaign cash out of the masses.
She won't get out of the box.

Palin has everything it takes to be President of the United States. Her honesty is refreshing especially after suffering daily with Obama's dishonesty. Palin is everything Obama isn't, America needs her. Obama talks more like a dictator than a president, and Palin's words are one hundred percent American. Her life reflects her words, we don't even know where Obama comes from. God help us as long as he sits in the president's chair.

I like the conservative message and think thats the way America should lean. However, I wish Palin would fade away or start working for viable candidates. She is not a viable candidate, for President or Vice President. And I AM a conservative.

Agree Completely. She is a good fundraiser for qualified candidates,nothing more.

Sarah Palin is the most common-sense leader we've got and I believe she, of all possible leaders, is especially capable of implementing her common sense in an executive capacity

Comments like that prove that you know nothing about the way things are done in Washington. She cannot win, because her legacy thus far is as a QUITTER. Read her resignation speech when she gave up being governor. Total and complete gobbledygook. I gave it to one of my professor's who had not read it. His only words were that it made absolutely no sense. So quit looking at her face, listen to the garbage that she spews, she is nothing more than talking points. Obama is awful, and he will be voted out. But Palin is not the answer. She will get destroyed in any legitimate debate. Biden was told not to beat up on her. Next time, there will be no such message. She will wilt, as the wicked witch.

You are no way, WHATSOEVER, qualified to be leader of the free world. It's not close honey. Giving Valley Girl speeches to adoring crowds of extremists and racists does not a president make.
