Apparently the humble and mild Mr. Nugent has told Anderson Cooper that he couldn\u2019t support Sarah Palin<\/a> for president. That\u2019s about where I am.\u00a0 I don\u2019t hold Mrs. Palin one way or another.\u00a0 I was certainly shocked at the flagrant sexism used against her in the 2008 campaign, including the oft repeated \u2018she should stay home with her special needs child where she belongs\u2019 that we all know is the cornerstone of modern feminist thinking.\u00a0 I was especially interested in how the MSM dropped that archaic notion that a politician\u2019s kids should be off limits (like way back when after Chelsea Clinton went to college), particularly when it came to attacking a minor or insulting a special needs child.\u00a0 But beyond Sarah Palin being a steak that drew the vile puss out of the infection that is post-modern Leftism, I don\u2019t think she is ready for the presidency.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if she ever will be ready.\u00a0 Her lack of curiosity, her lack of willingness to learn troubles me.\u00a0 That was a big problem with GW Bush, IMHO.\u00a0 And I see too much of that when I listen to her talk.\u00a0 I admire her devotion to her family, and willingness to put money where her mouth is regarding the value of a baby\u2019s life.\u00a0 But that doesn\u2019t make her executive material, at least as I see it.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
