Palindrone

Rush Limbaugh doesn't think Sarah Palin stuck a pin in her 2012 presidential balloon. "These people saying that she's an instant target because she quit, that's just inside-the-Beltway formulaic and she's not that," he said. "If anything this woman, her m.o. is outside-the-box and not formulaic."

I'm fascinated by Sarah's July 4th media event where she talked to, among others, NBC's "Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent" Andrea "Boom Boom" Mitchell. Andrea's in Alaska. The predictable teases show Andrea and Sarah walking and talking.

Andrea trekked to what she calls "a remote fishing village that her husband Todd's family has run for generations."

Andrea: "We went to Wasilla and some people are disappointed [you quit]."
Sarah: "I think that some people might not be fully aware of some of the conditions... "
Andrea: "You haven't finished the job, some would say."
Sarah: "You're not listening to me..."
Andrea: Can you imagine yourself running for president?"
Sarah: "I can't predict what the next fish run will be let alone the next couple of years."
Andrea: "Are you sorry you said yes to John McCain."
Sarah: "No, not at all... I would do it all again in a heartbeat."
Andrea: "Some people say you saw the bright lights."

So, whaddaya think, Joe Scarborough? Mika: "I think she did a great job in that [Andrea's] interview.... I'st her ability to fall flat on her face, dust herself off and keep on going... I'm sorry , hate me for this, she has five [children] and somehow she got through the past year.... I don't agree with a lot she stands for but I support her drive."
