Well?
How old?
Does she believe that the Earth is only 6000 years old?
Does she believe that Jesus danced with dinosaurs?
McCain was prepared to put Bible Spice a heartbeat away from the nuclear codes. Shame on him.

Mr. Farrell does very little to enhance the editorital product of U.S. News, which I have been reading for more than 50 years. He might pick up The Weekly Standard's current issue and learn a bit more about Sarah Palin than he seems to know by following all the east coast, out of the mainstram, or any stream, elitists who have little to no understanding of the thinking and values of miilions of Aemricans. Why give space to a guy who should be writing for Time or NEWSWEEK as they go down the tube with liberal, leff-wing partisanship resulting when reporters and editors appear to talk only to themselves?.

Its a sorry time in our nation when the media is the executioneer of the truth. It's to bad that they don't recognize a true American Patriot that still believes in the constitution and the Bill of Right. The media has told so many lies and started so many stupid rumors that no one believes them anymore.

My God, you people are so damn afraid of Sara Palin that it's funny. And you are spending so much time bad mouthing her that you can't see what Obama is doing to this country. One day you will wake up and wonder what happened. But by then it will be too late. No, I am not a republican,(or democrat) just a very old man that watches what the other hand is doing when he speaks. And you folks better wake up and forget Sara and see how Obama is playing you for the suckers you are.

Mr Farrell, please, before comparing both women, educate yourself abour who Eva Peron was, do not go by the Musical or the Movie only, read history books.

Ms. Palin: speaks her words through strained grammar. I see a vacant (vacuous) expression in her face. Her speeches have a gusty, but aggressive kind of meanness about them. Her handlers put words in her mouth. They know who she is. Who writes her speeches? Could these writers be the same people who run Disney and ABC who hire Mr. Weiner / Savage, Mr. Hannity, Mr. L., Mr. Billy Cunningham, Mr. O'Really, and Ms. Couter, the slimiest one of them all. Oh God, I pity the poor souls who put their trust in Ms. Palin. She will never rule this nation as chief executive. I think the people who back her are skirt chasers.

Poor Sarah Palin. Getting attacked "unfairly" and "without facts". Well Sarah was getting wacked with Republican tactics I guess. Republicans reep what they sow. Except to excuse themselves for what they accuse others of doing - Sex Scandals in one hand, the Bible in the other.
Just another failed marriage form the Defense of Marriage bunch. This time it was just a Failed Governship. If she can't take the heat...She can still see Russia from her Kitchen window.

When it comes to news "reporting" there is the easy treatment provided Obama and Co., the snearing and dismissisveness given to Republicans, and then there is the anything negative goes when it comes to Sarah Palin. No anonomous quote or unsubstantiated claim is too outrageous to print if it's about Ms. Palin. Output from her had the effect on our media (and other liberals) of drilling into a live and undrugged dental nerve. I'll miss that.

Vikki of WA: Thanks for reminding me that she changed colleges something like 5 times, paired with quitting as governor it shows that she can't follow through with much of anything! Certainly not someone I would want to put to head my country! Good riddance!!
