Ross and Sarah Palin

by | 5:05 am, June 15, 2010 | 4 Comments

A few weeks ago, my radio station, Newstalk 710 KNUS, hosted an event attended by thousands of people at which former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin spoke.  Palin was fine…pretty much what you’d expect. A populist sort of conservative who is not hard on the eyes. As I’ve said before, I’m glad she’s out talking about politics – even while I cringe when she suggests greater intersection between religion and government – but I hope she doesn’t run for president, at least not in 2012.  As I’ve also mentioned, Hugh Hewitt and Dennis Prager also spoke at the event, with Prager giving perhaps the best speech I’ve ever heard.  (Unfortunately, I’ve only been able to find some of his later comments at the event on YouTube. These are also well worth watching. If I find the whole speech, I’ll try to post it here.)

Governor Palin took pictures with some of the attendees.  Here’s my photo with her.  Not the best picture of me ever taken, but whatever.  In Palin’s hand, you can see the book I handed her a few seconds earlier: The Law by Frederic Bastiat.  She hadn’t read it or heard of it before.  I hope she’ll take the time to read what is probably, page for page, the best and most thorough destruction of socialism ever written.  (You can get a FREE DOWNLOAD of The Law from the Foundation for Economic Education, or BUY it in paperback.)

    Dependable Renegade,,,I am STILL laughing!

    $arah Palin is the logical progression (regression?) of what Reagan represents:

    Reagan was an idiot, but Dubya came along and made him look like a genius. Then $arah Palin comes along and makes Dubya look like a wise and prudent “president”.

    The Republicans continue to lower the bar. Pretty soon their heir apparent will be a literal, clinical, undeniable moron. A victim of anencephaly.

    And Democrats will be accused of being “elitist” for pointing this out.

    I notice the Jane Norton sticker you are wearing, back on May 22nd. And yet in your endorsement of Norton, you said “It was this answer which pushed me off the fence regarding whether to endorse Jane Norton or stay neutral in the race.”, referring to her recent explanation of how she is different from McCain. Why not just be honest and admit you have been a Norton supporter all along?

    Would a clinical moron be more or less competent than the guy holding the office right now?

    If you haven’t read Reagan: In His Own Hand, you ought to. It will put to rest any concerns about Reagan being “an idiot”. “Articulate”, “informed”, and “prescient” are more appropriate terms.
