Krauthammer was on Fox the other day, I happened to see it. He said that Sarah Palin still doesn't cut it for him. She's got good instincts but she's just not properly schooled. And he said I don't mean schooled in the right places. She's just not learned. She's had two and a half years to school herself on matters of policy. She hasn't done it. She can't demonstrate it. She's just not properly schooled. And Tom Rowan, "Analyzing the Analyst" in the American Thinker, says why in the world do we sit here and bow down at the opinion of somebody that used to write speeches for Walter Mondale.The segment at the link begins and ends with thoughts on Weinergate, by the way. Read the whole thing if you want to see how he weaves these themes together.
Now, Rowan's theory is that people's pasts matter. So here you have Dr. Krauthammer, who was a speechwriter for Mondale who obviously at a point in his life thought Ronald Reagan was a total idiot, you know, probably not schooled. So Rowan's theory is, analyzing the analysts, that Krauthammer sees Reagan in Palin. Wasn't particularly enamored of Reagan. George Will was not an early Reaganite, for example, became a good friend and associate later on. But this got me to thinking about this whole notion of who earns respect and why. And Mr. Rowan, the American Thinker, said, why is it that everybody stops what they're doing and when Krauthammer issues an opinion that's it?...
Now, Krauthammer in many ways has acquired this respect because in many of the venues he appears he's the only conservative....
