"The glummest face Wednesday night might have been ... Hillary Clinton."
Is Palin the American Margaret Thatcher? We could only be so lucky. Check out this opinion piece from today's Wall Street Journal.
Best quote from the piece:
"The glummest face Wednesday night might have been, if only we could have seen it, that of Hillary Clinton.
"Imagine watching Sarah Palin, the gun-toting, lifelong member of the NRA, the PTA mom with teased hair and hips half the size of Hillary's, who went ... omigod ... to the University of Idaho and studied journalism. Mrs. Palin with her five kids and one of them still virtually suckling age, going wham through that cement ceiling put there exclusively for good-looking right-wing/populist conservative females by not-so-good-looking left-wing ones (Gloria Steinem excepting). There, pending some terrible goof or revelation, stood the woman most likely to get into the Oval Office as its official occupant rather than as an intern."
Brilliant observation. And from a Canadian, no less.
