Will McCain waste Palin?  Perhaps for this election.  But the more appropriate question is, “Will Palin be wasted politically by this campaign?”  No, I don’t think we’ve seen the last of her.  I think that, if Obama strolls into the White House next January, Palin will go back to AK, where she will use the political capital she has banked through this national exposure to truly become that pit bull that the Republican Party so desperately needs.  I don’t know if she’ll run again on a presidential ticket (certainly not in 2012), but I bet she’ll begin casting her gaze beyond the Alaskan horizon and into national politics within the next 4-6 years.  Rep. Palin, Sen. Palin, RNC advisor/chairperson…the possibilities are endless for her.

Milton during happier times with Red Swingline stapler

Hot Air is providing us with more information on Sarah Palin’s ‘lack’ of thriftiness. It is amazing what people will gripe about when there is nothing to gripe about.

CF’s favorite comment on the article is:

But… but… she took my Red STAPLER…

Our conservative friend thought this politcal cartoon was worth a forward to multiple friends.  I do think Mrs. Palin will whoop up on some media.

I was reading some headlines about the media onslaught of Palin’s character and came across an article that discusses CNN anchor Campbell Brown’s line of questioning about Palin’s experience.

“The interview was totally fair,” Brown said. “I was trying to get an answer. I was persistent, but I was respectful. That’s my job. Experience is a legitimate issue when John McCain raises it about Obama, and it’s also legitimate for us to raise it about Palin.”

Two things I can point out about this statement:

1.  The MSM would NOT question Obama or his people about his lack of experience, so McCain’s campaign had to do it.
2.  The “them versus us” aspect of the quote leads one to believe that the media is admitting that it’s Obama’s surrogate in this (and many other) cases.

Disgusting.
