See what happens when you treat Sarahs like Patsys?

From the Cheat Sheet on the The Daily Beast; the article is entitled Palin Goes Off the Reservation:

"This is guaranteed to give John McCain heartburn. Politico’s Ben Smith reports that Sarah Palin is beginning to ignore her campaign minders. "She's lost confidence in most of the people on the plane,” a source tells Smith, adding, “I think she’d like to go more rogue.” The friction comes from two warring camps inside McCain HQ. One led by Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace is said to be preparing to blame Palin if McCain loses the election. Another faction contends Palin has been misused by the campaign, hidden from the press until it was too late to repair her image. How she’ll go “rogue” remains to be seen; last Sunday, she gave an impromptu interview while a minder desperately tried to cut her off."

She essentially told us all from the get-go that she was a pit-bull with lipstick. And yet, she's been treated like a patsy, and now seems ready to push back... And speaking strictly as a woman, I can't say that I blame her.

But I don't suffer "rogues." Or Executives who seem willing to abuse the powers her electorate entrusted to her.

You're going to be hearing that term a lot someday soon. That's what my brief years of legal schooling tell me, in my mind and gut. Just wanted to get that on the record here.

Because you know what's reeeeally dangerous? An Executive who makes the argument that the Legislative Branch has no legal authority to investigate the (mis)actions of the Executive Branch(!?) Wow. And that argument was recently and successfully made by none other than... Miss Runner-Up Alaska herself.

So. Dangerously. Wrong.

Perhaps that's why Alaska's largest newspaper, the Anchorage Daily News, is actually endorsing Obama! And here's what they wrote: “[F]ew who have worked closely with the governor would argue [Palin] is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth.”
