[Rhodes22-list] POLITICAL-Palin Begins 2012 Campaign

[brad haslett]

Ben,

Sooner or later, people will figure out that Sarah Palin is the "real deal".  She didn't make fools out of Big Oil CEO's by being stupid despite the howls of derision against her by you and your ilk.  When the patina of "sacredness" has worn off The One, people will be hungry for someone of substance.  Laugh your ass off while you can.  The press and the 'leftards' wouldn't pay so much attention to Palin if they weren't worried about her.

Brad
