Why does the WSJ print Sarah Palin on editorial page?
She is a rambling idiot. It is very doubtful that she even wrote it? According to the talking heads on MSNBC this morning, there was only one paragraph about health care reform and it was something about "vouchers". How much longer are they going to pay attention to this fraudulent diva?

5. Yes before the appearance of Ruppert Murdoch the Wall Street Editorial page
was not a bastion of right wing punditry, giving space to Rush Limbaugh repeatedly, who is at least as qualified as Palin.

Yeah it's all Murdoch's fault.

6. Murdoch
Her youngest daughter could probably write a better editorial than Sarah.

11. We don't believe that it's even Sarah Palin writing these editorials.
See The Mudflats here: Palin Puppet Show http://www.themudflats.net/2009/09/09/palin-puppet-show/

and The Immoral Minority here: Sarah Palin's Ghostwriter has graduated from writing for a handful of sycophants on Facebook to trying his/her luck with the WSJ http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/ (third story down)

None of this recent writing sounds anything like Sarah Palin. She's a puppet of the worst kind.

14. They're trying awfully hard,
but failing miserably. If she knows so much about health care reform, why doesn't she crawl out from under her rock and make a public appearance? No one here has seen her in weeks. Even her own father has stated he doesn't know where she is, just that she's somewhere "writing her memoirs." Is she in detox, a mental ward, having some "work" done, what? Someone needs to blow her cover.

15. Except her base doesn't read the WSJ and they think gravitas
is that weird food socialist Swedish people eat.


Can Murdoch POSSIBLY imagine he's going to expand her appeal with ghostwritten op eds?? Pffft!

18. I was thinking that they thought "gravitas"
was that force that holds us onto the planet, but then I remembered that they don't believe in science.

16. Most op-eds that carry politicians' bylines aren't written by the actual politician. It's just a lot
more noticeable when you see complete sentences attributed to Palin.
