Leonard Pitts nails it!

The fools on the LTE comments will have the ass about Pitts again, but I believe he has stated the situation extremely well.

Do the country a favor, Sarah, and run for president

... I believe a Palin candidacy would force upon this country a desperately needed moment of truth. It would require us to finally decide what kind of America we want to be. Mrs. Palin, you are an avatar of the shameless hypocrisy and cognitive disconnection that have driven our politics for the last decade, a process of stupidification creeping like kudzu over our national life. ...

... something is wrong when we celebrate mental mediocrity like yours under the misapprehension that competence or, God forbid, “intelligence,” makes a person one of those “elites” – that’s a curse word now – lacking authenticity, compassion and common sense.

So no, this is not a clash of ideologies, but a clash between intelligence and its opposite. And I am tired of being asked to pretend stupid is a virtue. That’s why I’d welcome the moment of truth your campaign would bring.

It would force us to decide once and for all whether we are permanently committed to the path of ignorance, of birthers, truthers and tea party incoherence you represent, or whether we will at last turn back from the cliff toward which we race. ...

’Family Guy’ Knocks Sarah Palin’s Mentally Disabled Son "... the latest jab at the former governor of Alaska, courtesy of Fox’s ‘Family Guy,’ might have gone too far. ... What’s most interesting about the ‘Family Guy’ bit is that the show airs on Fox, a network Palin recently joined as a Fox News ‘contributor.’ ..."

Pitts is what Buggs Bunny used to refer to as an ultra maroon. Some of his columns have been so overtly racist, it's a wonder he is still in print. He won a Pulitzer. But hey, Leonard, before I forget, I think your a racist left wing ding from "Everybody owes me something land." I equate your scribble to vomit. Can you hear me now Leonard?

BTW, Howdy...

Pulitzer Prize winners usually know the difference between "your" and "you're"..

(Don't expect yours anytime soon)

As much of a joke Sarah Palin would seem as a presidential candidate we can't forget that Bush managed to get reelected and that was scary enough. I'm convinced that Sarah Palin's first move as president would be to rip back the fleshy veneer we think is her face and expose herself as one of the riders of the apocalypse. Blood would begin to rain from the sky. Tectonic plates would shift with fire shooting out of the ground. Todd would turn into the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man and destroys all of Washington DC. SondraK will at last be free to let her tail out of bondage from her leg, let her hair down to expose her horns, kick off her shoes to let her cloven hooves get some fresh air and resume eating the flesh of children. Ironically all of mankind finally would bond over it's last one defining link that is it's doom.

Of course I could be totally wrong about this.

sidrat38 - love that apocalyptic description. I don't think she could win, assume she'd hand victory to Obama, but after that description, not sure I'd want to chance it. Specially SondraK roaming free.
