There is a great article by Tom Rowan at the American Thinker taking apart Krauthammer’s constant dismissive analysis of Sarah Palin, all the way back to 2008. Here is a tidbit of the article but I encourage you to click over and read the entire article. It’s really that good:
… What exactly is Krauthammer’s beef with Governor Palin?
I am guessing Krauthammer’s miserable failure as speechwriter for Walter Mondale has at least something to do with his ongoing campaign to delegitimize Palin. I would wager that Krauthammer wrote the line that sank Mondale: “Mr. Reagan will raise taxes; and so will I. He won’t tell you. I just did.” I suspect Krauthammer is still smarting from his colossal election failure and from time to time is re-fighting the campaign against that phony cowboy Reagan.
Perhaps this is where Krauthammer harvests his unseemly vitriol against Palin. While the nation yearns for the “next Reagan,” Krauthammer seemingly yearns to seek and destroy any true blue Reaganite. His most recent oddball attack on Palin seems like only yesterday:
The problem with her, I think, is that she is not schooled. I don’t mean she didn’t go to the right schools. I mean when you get into policy, beyond instincts — I like her political instincts, I like her political overall view of the world — but when it comes to policy, she had two-and-a-half years to school herself and she hasn’t and that’s a problem. … It’s not only the lack of schooling; it’s the lack of effort to school herself and the lack of insight to see that she needs it.
I like Krauthammer’s overall view of the world, but when did Charles go to school to become a schoolmarm scold? Does he hand out homework assignments to Palin? By what factual basis does Krauthammer make this charge? For all anyone knows Sarah Palin has been taking tap dancing lessons from Henry Kissinger. Krauthammer certainly has no way of knowing. So why is Krauthammer shooting these gratuitous broadsides against Palin? And why isn’t Krauthammer’s laser-like analysis focused on this nation’s biggest disaster on any policy, namely Obama?
