Ace of Spades HQ — ... ? Strange day for it but stay tuned. Original post: Slow holidayish day but thankfully Jonah Goldberg fills the void by becoming the latest pundit to play a round of " I really like you Sarah but... " You’re blowing it. We haven’t met, but you might remember I was one of the first columnists to tout you for John McCain’s running mate. I cheered you mightily when Senator McCain selected you, and I still believe that you were the smartest choice he could have made given the obstacles before him. I’m also assuming you want to run for president some day. ...For starters, every ...

Jonah Goldberg to Sarah Palin: Do Your Job and Do Your Homework
Ace of Spades HQ — Jonah Goldberg to Sarah Palin: Do Your Job and Do Your Homework Hmmmm... I think maybe there's absolutely no point to this post at all, given recent events in Juneau. Awesome column which pretty much says everything I think. Goldberg notes he was one of Palin's earliest and biggest cheerleaders; I can't claim earliest or biggest, but I was definitely on the bandwagon before the nomination. I'm not on it at the moment. Could get back on it. Would like to get back on it. But not on it at the moment. This post has a necessary follow-up, which I'll do later. The follow-up may be ...

The end of the Palin era
Betsy's Page — ... health-related reason. Color me unmoved by the thought of a Palinless political future. While I was very excited about her when McCain chose her and after her convention speech, she left me disappointed during the rest of the campaign. She couldn't seem to move beyond clichés in both her speeches and debate appearances. And no matter how supporters tried to spin it, her interviews with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric were disappointing. That is why I am totally in agreement with Jonah Goldberg's timely essay today advising Palin to stay home and do her homework. He is so ...

She Made Me Look Ridiculous! And a Man in My Position Can't Afford to Look Ridiculous!
Lawyers, Guns and Money — ... I've suggested before, Kristol occupies a central space in the network of right wing media/think tank types. Vast swaths of the Republican intelligentsia are deeply invested in his success, and he invested himself in the success of Sarah Palin. The Palin stocks have now crashed, and that may turn the investment in Kristol toxic. Kristol and his backers will, for a time anyway, deal with the problem by simply refusing to acknowledge that anything has gone wrong. When Jonah Goldberg is jumping ship, though, things aren't looking good. ...

Whiskey Fire — ... There's been lots of Very Serious Wingnut opining recently about just why Liberals Hate Sarah Palin, all of it pretty hilarious at the moment, and even funnier now.

Like Everyone Else, We're Wondering WHY Palin Suddenly Resigned As Governor Of Alaska
DownWithTyranny! — ... Other wingnuts, every bit as extreme and delusional as Kristol, are less optimistic. Few people outside of the lunatic fringe take Palin-worshipper Jonah Goldberg seriously but he's already declared that she's blown it. If most Americans feel they need a hot bath after reading a typical Goldberg screed, Palin fans find him as right as rain: "There’s a reason why the Left and much of the media establishment hated you from day one. Some hated you out of the fear that you might stop Barack Obama’s unfolding coronation. Others because you seemed to expose the snobbery, arrogance, ...

Your Abbreviated Pundit Round-up (Special Sarah Palin Edition)
Daily Kos — ... It isn't that she was fed up with Alaska. Alaska was fed up with her. William Kristol: If Palin wants to run in 2012, why not do exactly what she announced today? It's an enormous gamble - but it could be a shrewd one. Yeah, and I could be considered a shrewd commentator, and a brilliant strategist, too. And pigs could fly. So, put wings on this porker and call it Alaska Airlines. As Sarah goes, so go I. Jonah Goldberg: Sarah, you're the laughingstock of the Democratic party. I am, too. but still, even I ...

Late Night: Freaks and Laughing in Wasilla
Firedoglake — ... The Liberals Hate and Fear Her, despite the fact that, you know, she's about as frightening to most real-life liberals as a be-lipsticked anvil that lots and lots of conservatives have decided to chain to their necks. Which they've done giddily and delightedly, because they're convinced that Liberals Hate Her. So they pretend she's been Photoshopped to a Cross of Blog because of the Existential Threat She Represents. Just what threat this is, well, let's leave it to Jonah Goldberg to explain, because he has a particular genius for distilling right wing stupid: ...
