Michael Jackson and Sarah Palin
Ok. Let’s get this part out of the way first – Michael Jackson was a musical genius. He will go down in the history books alongside the likes of the Beatles and Elvis Presley who, no doubt, would have been thrilled to see his only daughter marry the King of Pop (as she did in [...]
“Running” with Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney
There was so much to choose from this week while preparing “the Fix” that I’m still scratching my head as I click the “publish” button. Do I address the perfectly executed – yet universally denounced – coup in Honduras. Or do I spend time pontificating on the out of control spending of the U.S. Congress [...]
Part II: Exclusive Interview with Governor Sarah Palin!
If you haven’t read Part I of Randall H. Miller’s exclusive interview with Governor Sarah Palin, you should do so before reading Part II. If you’re already up to speed – jump right in and read the exciting conclusion.
RHM: Ma’am, you’re an outspoken opponent of socialism and any type of income redistribution.
Gov. Palin: Absolutely. Yes, [...]
Exclusive Interview with Governor Sarah Palin!
(UPDATE: When I originally published this “interview” I thought people would know right off the bat that it was satire. I was wrong. This post received over 1,000 unique visitors within 24 hours and – judging by the emails I received and the comments below – only about 50% of the readers “got it.” Would [...]
Ahmadinejad, Rev. Wright, and Palin v. Letterman
It’s election day in Iran and tensions are almost as high as they were in the U.S. in 2008. According to polls, current Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad leads slightly over his main opponent Mir Hossein Mousavi. Amazingly, the candidates are not only acknowledging the importance of women voters, they are actually competing for their support. [...]
I was wrong about Palin – she’s much worse than I thought!
A few weeks ago I asked if I had been too tough on Sarah Palin. I’ve also expressed several times in the past few months how much I was looking forward to the end of this election cycle and the information that would undoubtedly flow from for McCain staffers. Well, the wait is over. Watch [...]
Am I wrong about Sarah Palin?
Have I been unfair in my analysis of Sarah “Barracuda” Palin’s candidacy? Do I have her all wrong? Is this just a case of a botched roll out – a debutante ball gone wrong? Personally, I don’t think so. Politico’s Ben Smith floats the possibility and touches on some internal tensions it’s causing in the [...]
Colin Powell versus Sarah Palin
In 1968, Major Colin Powell (assigned to the “Americal Division” and serving in Vietnam) was involved in a helicopter crash and, although he himself miraculously avoided serious injury, he disregarded his own safety and made two trips back into the flaming wreckage to rescue two fellow soldiers. He went on to serve 35 years in [...]
What Does Peggy Noonan Think of Sarah Palin?
I’ve been a fan of Peggy Noonan (speech writer extraordinaire, respected political pundit, and author of On Speaking Well) for a long time. Here are some nuggets from her latest in the Wall Street Journal:
But we have seen Mrs. Palin on the national stage for seven weeks now, and there is little sign that she [...]
The Sarah “Barracuda” Palin Effect
This is what McCain’s campaign looked like before Sarah “Barracuda” Palin strutted and winked her way into our hearts. Now the base is fired up and downright frightening to watch. Thankfully, McCain tried to calm some of them down last night. We’ll see this week if that’s the signal of a new direction or not. [...]
