Last year, Sarah Palin famously flubbed a softball from Katie Couric. It’s actually not even precise to call it a softball. It was more of a floating feather on a windless day. Couric simply asked Palin what she reads. That was the question that Palin was incapable of responding to coherently.<\/p>\n

Now, a year later, the mystery is solved. Palin was interviewed by Sean Hannity<\/a> yesterday. Hannity came prepared with a bushel full of feathers to lob at Palin, but thanks to his crackerjack investigative skills, he managed to extract a truly newsworthy revelation:<\/p>\n

Palin:<\/strong> I read Newsmax and the Frontiersman and the Wall Street Journal and everything online. I absorb the news via many, many sources.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She would have to absorb the news like a ShamWow in order to read “everything”<\/em> online. However, she does do a good impersonation of the ShamWow pitchman by mentioning first the magazine, Newsmax. Her book, Going Rogue, is currently being peddled by Newsmax as bait to lure subscribers. I’m sure they appreciate the plug. The other two publications she reads are her hometown Wasilla rag and Rupert Murdoch’s financial paper. Need I remind you that Palin’s book is published by Murdoch’s HarperCollins?<\/p>\n

This is the woman that virtually every conservative pundit is describing as the terror of liberals and Democrats. They are mostly echoing the sentiments of Bill O’Reilly whose Talking Points yesterday were devoted to “Why the Left Fears Sarah Palin.”<\/em> The only problem is, I can’t find anyone on the left who is afraid of Sarah Palin. To the contrary, she is a great source of amusement to all the lefties I know. If anyone is afraid of Palin, I think it is the Republican Party. A recent CBS poll<\/a> shows that only 43% of Republicans think Palin is qualified to be president. And 48% don’t even want her to run (more than the 44% who do). And that’s just Republicans.<\/p>\n

In my highly unscientific poll of liberals I know personally, 100% are praying for her to run and win the Republican nomination. They’re not fearful, they’re giddy.<\/p>\n

For the record:<\/strong> The DNC has conveniently complied a list of errors and falsehoods<\/a> in Palin’s book, “Going Rogue.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
