The qualities of Sarah Palie

摘要

So Would President Sarah Palin have been able to prevent the embarrassment of WikiLeaks? You betcha. "Inexplicable," was her first tweeted reaction to the affair: "I recently won in court to stop my book 'America by Heart' from being leaked, but us Govt can't stop WikiLeaks' treasonous act?" Needless to say, the commentators she derides as the "liberal elite" and the "lamestream media" pounced upon this confusion of apples (Mrs Palin won a copyright case) and oranges (the federal government lacks the legal power to silence WikiLeaks) as further evidence, if such were needed, that the former governor of Alaska should never be trusted to lead the free world. They did the same last week, when she said in a radio interview: "Obviously, we gotta stand with our North Korean allies."
