Has Claire Berlinski ever offered an opinion on Sarah Palin?

Watershed moment, catalyst... whatever you want to call last Sunday, the message was clear and consequences are just dawning. We are learning to fight and succeed in this global guerrilla war.

It's the Osama polka: Roll up al-Qaeda | Right at the point of a gun | Roll up al-Qaeda | Until they know that we've won…

Re: Top of the Hour Headlines
It would have been much more satisfying to have seen these headlines (and many more like them) before finding out that OBL had been killed a week or two earlier.

Not to harsh your mellow, but Praveen Swami sounds a sour note:
History," wrote Abdullah Azzam, Osama bin Laden's mentor, "does not write its lines except with blood… Glory does not build its lofty edifice except with skulls; honour and respect cannot be established except on a foundation of cripples and corpses." Osama bin Laden has become one of those corpses. But even as America celebrates the death of the man who more than any other came to represent evil in our time, there is little reason for jubilation.
The stark truth is this: a decade after 9/11, the jihadist movement is more powerful than at any time in the past. Bin Laden himself, the scholar C. Christine Fair has noted, has emerged as a "kind of Che Guevara of the jihadist movement" – an inspirational icon who could fire the imagination of young recruits. Bin Laden's death – or, to the faithful, his martyrdom – might prove to be his last service for his macabre cause.

Re: Top of the Hour Headlines
Not that I recall - twould be interesting to compare her (Sarah Palin) to Margaret Thatcher, but that could wait until after her two terms - lol.
BTW, Margaret Thatcher is both vilified and admired to this day in the UK, so there are similarities. Also big differences.
Oh, good headlines, btw :-)

David - Kenneth is correct. She did offer an assement that can be found by looking into the vault at "Uncommon Knowledge" where she was interviewed at length by Peter Robinson. Excellent interview which spurred me to buy the book on Thatcher and eventually led me here (for better or worse!) to Ricochet...!

Thanks for the links, Johannes and Kenneth - I will try and dig up the Interview (I am glad it brought you here, Johannes).
Well, Mr Obama II is a great writer (maybe, or maybe he had a... oh, conspiracy theory!) - pity so many of his academic writings have been eaten by his dog - doesn't make him a great President.
I haven't been moved to buy Sarah Palin's books, but I did like her Alaska TV series, and I think she would make a good, maybe great, President - on that we will have to agree to disagree! I would be very happy with Paul Ryan, instead.
Oh, we seem to have strayed off-topic...

Re: Top of the Hour Headlines
The Uncommon Knowledge video is the first time I have seen a video of Clair Berlinski, a fine mind seems to be at work there. But it makes me ask the question: were ARE the adults? It is nineteen months to the next election which Ms. Berlinski herself defines as critical. Is Donald Trump the adult?

Re: Top of the Hour Headlines
Yep, we are the adults - Trump is f****** great, but I hope he doesn't screw up the election for us.

That's it - thanks! Yes, I remember watching it, and the necklace, but the Sarah Palin part didn't sink in, at the time.
Claire - OMG, I am so disappointed in you.
You went to Oxford, you write like an angel, and yet you don't get Sarah Palin.
I was in England when Thatcher came to power - the industry I worked for went outa business just before the Falklands War, for the reasons you describe to Peter. I moved to Canada, then on to the USA, where I am, now. I go back to England a coupla times a year - I have friends there that still hate Margaret Thatcher, and now they hate Sarah Palin.
They maybe see the connection better than you do.
Well, anyway, I think the chances of Sarah Palin becoming President are remote - I would be equally happy with Claire for President - and you could write your own speeches, and they would be great :-)
