Why are Female Executives Giving Palin's Thin Credentials a Pass?
Plenty of us have experienced that moment when the job of your dreams seems to drop into your lap--but just too early in your career, when you just have to say, thanks but no thanks.

Palin is in the driver's seat and plans to stay there. Her take-no-prisoners nasty streak and extreme right wing views have found kindred spirits now that she's fully staffed up with veterans of Bush.
No, it's not her infamous Russia answer nor her inexplicable financial bailout response. It's not her latest admission that she doesn't really read any newspapers. It's an overlooked clip from the original Couric interview about Hamas.
The debate got away from Gwen Ifill, and Sarah Palin got away with passing off folksy platitudes as substitutes for substance.
The New York Times has a feature called "The Conversation" in which two of its star writers, David Brooks, their Republican-leaning columnist, and Gai...
What if, midway through, Palin is doing okay, or better than okay? If you're Joe Biden, are you going to just sit there and let her play you to a draw - or beat you? On the biggest stage Biden has ever been on, is he going to let himself get shown up by someone everybody knows is an idiot?

The editorial content of the CBS Evening News -- and the ABC and NBC evening newscasts -- was precisely the same as that of The Daily Show. Only the style of presentation was different.
In yet another installment of her ongoing interview with Katie Couric, Governor Palin was asked to divulge what news publications she'd read prior to her bid for VP.
From halfway around the world, it all seems simple. The question is if we are going to keep blaming Washington, Wall Street, mortgage lenders--everybody but ourselves--for our problems.
The hard times continue for Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, who this week pulled up his stakes in Michigan, a state his campaign o...
How Sarah Palin will survive a day in Washington when she can't make it for five minutes in line for a sandwich is beyond me.
Maybe one of Palin's "best friends" said something along the lines of "You know, this straight thing is okay, but I think I'm going to go with being gay, because they have it so great in this country, and everyone's so nice to them!
