NY Daily News columnist smacks down Palin HARD....
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2010/02/08/2010-02-08_sarah_believe_me_you_have_delusions_of_grandeur.html

Crib notes or not, Sarah Palin has delusions of grandeur if she thinks she can be President

Now Sarah Palin comes right out and says it, that she really is thinking about running for President in 2012. She says it in the same starry-eyed way kids talk about growing up to be astronauts, but actually seems to believe it, that somehow she can go from being this kind of pinup girl for her Tea Party friends to the White House.

"I think it would be absurd to not consider what it is that I can potentially do to help our country," Palin told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."

Now there are many, many ways Sarah Palin could help this country. Running for President will never be one of them. You listen to her long enough and actually feel yourself getting dimmer by the minute, like a dying light bulb.

If her vision and grasp of even the most basic issues - with or without cribnotes - were any lighter, you would have to tie a rock to her to keep her from floating away.

She imagines herself as some big, conservative, independent thinker. When she doesn't like Rahm Emanuel, the President's chief of staff, using the word "retards" to describe liberal groups, she says Emanuel should be fired.

2. I couldn't stomach the whole thing but I watched part of that interview.
I don't think Chris Wallace likes her. And I know he was annoyed at the way she tried to filibuster through the interview. I can see why she does it though. For her every question is a potential land mine.

She's a Faux Noise 'analyst', so I wonder if she got paid for being interviewed.

An Oprah-like talk show. 3%
A late-night talk show. 1%
A full-time job as a TV news commentator. 5%
None. Just disappear from the public eye, please. 74%

6. It really doesn't matter what Sarah Palin thinks she can
be elected to or not. That is up to the American voters.

F- for forgetting what qualifies a person to believe they can be President!

7. Delusions of grandeur?
...more like delusions of adequacy if you ask me.

10. Someone needs to tell Palin this to her face and on national
television. Good article.

11. This country put Dubya in office, TWICE!! Anything can happen!
I would like to count her out, but people in this country are stupid enough to elect her.
