Palin "Out of her league on National issues"

Palin has not only failed to impress in her recent interviews, but is turning some of her most ardent supporters against her. I guess some might still watch the below and chastise a "liberal media" for being unfairly harsh (though among those who actually saw the interview that number might dwindle significantly)



Today, however, even Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker of the National Review, one of Palin's earliest and most vocal advocates, admits

As we’ve seen and heard more from John McCain’s running mate, it is increasingly clear that Palin is a problem. Quick study or not, she doesn’t know enough about economics and foreign policy to make Americans comfortable with a President Palin should conditions warrant her promotion...

Palin’s narrative is fun, inspiring and all-American in that frontier way we seem to admire. When Palin first emerged as John McCain’s running mate, I confess I was delighted. She was the antithesis and nemesis of the hirsute, Birkenstock-wearing sisterhood — a refreshing feminist of a different order who personified the modern successful working mother.

Palin didn’t make a mess cracking the glass ceiling. She simply glided through it.

It was fun while it lasted.

Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.


Ouch.
