I have NEVER linked to Politico, but today I must. Scarborough on Palin. A real gem.

As I have never before linked to Politico, neither can I recall agreeing with Scumbo Joe, but today I do, at least with his overall premise regarding Lady BlahBlah. Someone told me about this and I just found it:

OPINION COLUMN
Joe Scarborough tells GOP to man up and confront Sarah Palin
By JOE SCARBOROUGH | 11/30/10 4:44 AM EST Updated: 11/30/10 9:49 AM EST

>snip #1< Everybody knows that Palin is a busy woman. The former half-term governor of Alaska stays so busy these days that one wonders how this mother of five manages to juggle her new reality show, follow her eldest daughter’s dancing career and launch her latest frenetic book tour while still finding the time to insult a slew of revered presidents and first ladies.

You’ve got to admit hers is a breathtaking high-wire act.


>snip #2<If Republicans want to embrace Palin as a cultural icon whose anti-intellectualism fulfills a base political need, then have at it. I suppose it’s cheaper than therapy.

But if the party of Ronald Reagan, Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio wants to return to the White House anytime soon, it’s time that Republican leaders started standing up and speaking the truth to Palin.

Joe talks smack in a lot of this opinion piece, but his view of Palin seems spot on, even if, to Joe, the reasons are different than I would see them.

Please read the piece. If I could quote the whole thing and not send traffic to Politico, I would, but I can't. So endure. Its worth the read.

3. Pass the salt, please! (And the link to Politico is forgiven since it's you, Stinky--you've been

calling them down long before many of DU did).

4. That reads like a catfight!

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

5. I think Rubio will run in 2012 in the repig primary at least. nt
