John Podhoretz is brilliant and so.....I agree with him

Knew him briefly at Chicago.  He's every bit as brilliant as his dad, Norman was.  He says (gasp) that Sarah Palin's formulation and thinking re:  the election was "brilliant".  I mean how could this rube who went to the wrong schools, has the wrong accent and definitely the wrong opinions be brilliant to a scion of NY intellectualism.  Fish flying, cats living with dogs, etc. etc.  Palin in her own words:

The meaning of the 2010 election was rebuke, reject, and repeal. We rebuked Washington’s power grab, rejected this unwanted “fundamental transformation of America,” and began the process to repeal the dangerous policies inflicted on us. But this theme will only complement the theme of 2012, which is renew, revive, and restore. In 2012, we need to renew our optimistic, pioneering spirit, revive our free-market system, and restore constitutional limits and our standing in the world as the abiding beacon of freedom.

She really is so much more sophisticated, accomplished and intelligent than Barack Obama.  And that's because she's had to earn her place while BHO just got the affirmative action slot.  He's a weakling.  If you don't realize that now, then you never will.
