Frum on Palin's Hannity appearance: "She should stop talking now"
http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/01/david-frum-reacts-to-hannitys-palin-interview-she-should-stop-talking-now.php?ref=fpblg

(clip of the segment on Lawrence O'Donnell at the link)


On MSNBC's The Last Word, Lawrence O'Donnell noted that he would have wanted to hear Palin explain the difficulty of finding an appropriate timing to respond to the attacks on her, introducing the review of her performance on Hannity without deeply analyzing any particular part of it. Frum didn't explain what he would have wanted to see, but he made it clear that, whatever it was, it was not yet another media appearance about the same topic.

"She should stop talking now."

"What should have happened was that one video released should have been the end of it," he suggested instead, noting that this last interview was a result of Palin being "all too aware" of the attacks on her and, as such, "very shaken." Even though that first video was a "disaster" and "failure," according to Frum, "you have to live with the consequences and just cease."

1. BWAHAHA! Like THAT will ever happen.
However, I do find it encouraging that Frum notes "this last interview was a result of Palin being "all too aware" of the attacks on her and, as such, "very shaken.""...

...because he COULD have said what others said, namely, that she stood her ground, proved herself to be a fighter, blah blah blah blah BLAH.

:-)

2. The McCain camp figured out fast that the more she talks
The more people won't like her, so they shut her up good, wrote her some scripts and made her a spokesmodel with almost no unscripted public moments. But unfortunately for her, her ego is too huge to even notice that the more air time she gets for her agenda, the lower her numbers are! WHO is advising her -- Tahd??
