Well, she’s got at least two and a half years before she’d have to begin campaigning. With some serious tutelage, she could become pretty conversant in economic and foreign policy by the time she’d have to start giving press conferences* again.
*Yes, I get the irony.
Let’s not forget that the intercepts of North Korea’s D’oh missiles would take place over the PRC or Russia. I’m keen to know how Palin would feel if the reverse were to happen in Alaska as a result of a potential rogue state like … uh, Canada started to threaten launching missiles towards Japan or South Korea.
And by ‘at least two and a half years’ you mean more like ‘about twenty months’, right?
From the article:
Now that’s just nuts.
I had a pretty interesting conversation at lunch today with the guy who’s painting my house. His wife used to work at the hospital where Bristol Palin was receiving pre-natal care. She had occasion to see her medical chart and among the comments from the doctor was: “Patient’s boyfriend is not in the picture and wants nothing to do with the child or the mother.”
Not long after that, we were all treated to the “happy” family on stage in multiple photo-ops, which, it seems, was all a complete sham: a stage show put on for the adoring masses.
So why didn’t someone bring this to the media? Because this is a very small state where everybody is only a couple of degrees from somebody else who can do irreparable damage to your career, particularly in the medical field. Also, there’s that whole ethics problem. In fact, I’m shocked that he would reveal this to me, although his wife is no longer in the medical field.
Keep in mind that this guy and his wife were both Palin supporters up until she went national with her ambition.
