as I am desperately sick and tired of hearing about her. But, I can honestly say that she reminds me so much of how I viewed, then candidate George W. Bush* in 1999-2000. I would NEVER have thought the media would report on him as they did, ignoring the clear skeletons in his closet, as well as the very overt evidence of his mismanaging the governorship in Texas. Instead, they created an entire narrative based on a set of lies and half truths and failed to report anything to the contrary. To the extent we are seeing a turn about in reportage on Palin, likely reflects concern at the top of the RNC hierarchy that knows they need to preempt her. Fortunately. But, otherwise, the MSM seemed all too willing to build her up, just as they did GWBush*.

I believe her to be a very dangerous proposition--not simply incompetent, but dangerous. So, I'm willing to see her exposed and overexposed, if that will seal her fate to the dustbins of US political history.
