Howie, here is a desperately needed free clue:
CPAC was packed for her speech. EVERYONE loved her speech. She spoke from the heart, and nailed our current administration and their faults and defects.

Howie, your article provides more proof that journalism has devolved into the dumbest profession on this planet.

Waited two days for her speech and then missed it because of a visitor. Where can I get it?

Kurtz won´t call Obama a liar to his face like Palin just did because Kurtz likes when Obama lies.

Her speech among others can be found on Fox Nation...

#2 Conservatives 4 Palin has the speech. (In fact, I consider them the go-to site for anything Palin.) I´m not certain if I can post the link, so look for this heading: Video: Governor Palin’s complete speech at CPAC; Update: Top 10 lines from speech

Try nation.foxnews.com for the speehes.

...she realizes that the best way to deal with a narcissist, is to subject him to laughter and ridicule...

...the boy won´t be able to handle it...

her once-blinding luster seriously dimmed Really?
lost her pundit’s perch at Fox News Oh puh-leeze! Fox offered and she declined.

I don´t know why I bother with reading these babbling gnats´ columns. Sarah Palin energized the ticket in ´08, and she´s helped many conservatives win office. Ask Ted Cruz who delivered a brief but fantastic “second” introduction of the Governor to the standing room only CPAC crowd and said, ´I would not be in the U.S. Senate today if it were not for Gov. Sarah Palin. She is fearless, she is principled, she is courageous, and she is a mama grizzly.”´

Howard, name one statement she made that was not true... typical lib.. personal attacks when debate fails.

ANd Howie, ever on his knees, plays to the MFM narrative his masters so desperately want to push.

If she keeps this up we´ll lose the independents! Better moderate the tone!"
Lol.

Loved it when she pulled out a Big Gulp, and when she said the architects could go back to the Lone Star state.

If she called him a liar and worse the bernie mad off from the podium I would have thought she was introducing obama as the next speaker

Howie, do smart, intelligent women with a different perspective scarfe you?.

Go back to your NY/DC bubble, it is safe in there.

Rent free.

Loved the outfit. /s

Why would anyone care what comes out of the Daily Beast? Rag rag rag...

Sarah has her audience, she is divisive and has contributed little but blabber to the cause. Quick to grab money and face time, but that is about it.

Sometimes the irony of a comment is too rich for words.

I loved part with X-mas presents and sentence my husband got the gun I got a rack.
That was so nuanced and funny and true.
It is true what Rush say, mass media ridicules people they fear most.
Attacks will be coming.

I dunno, #20, there was nothing "nuanced" about that sentence. It played to her fans, however, which was the purpose.

Sarah Palin´s lines were all great, including the Christmas story, "nuanced" or not.....her remarks were spot on, not "disjointed". She has a wonderful sense of humor. This article reads as if it could have been written by certain posters here.

Howie the Catty. How quaint.

*yawn*

So what´s going on in the NEW media? Dinosaurs are a thing of the past...

Everything, from her choice of wardrobe, to her comedy schtick, indicated to me that she is done with elective politics. She´s done being anything but a cheerleader for us. Which is fine, we need one. Mbut she´s now just a warm-up act for serious candidates. Sad.

Would not want to be President Obama´s caddy today. Psychologically there is nothing worse for a black man than to be belittled by a white woman. She unmanned him and that is a wound that will fester. He´ll need to do something to prove himself now.

“Journalist” Howard Kurtz predictably keeps in lockstep with the kneejerk Sarah Palin-can’t-possibly-be-a-serious-person-to-be-taken-seriously crowd. Whatever their weak, flimsy, insubstantial reason… Palin Envy or Abortion Remorse or something else of equal or even lesser relevance, “Howie” and his ilk are still stuck in the now-out-of-touch 1960s or even earlier. Ridicule is so yesterday.

Amazing how Sarah brings out the hating posters here. They get me wondering if they aren´t really trolls. I thought we conservatives should stick together, but some act more like libs in that they disparage everything and every one that dares to think a little different.

I tend to think she is finished as a candidate, but she can be of ENORMOUS help to a more serious candidate--Ted Cruz for example. All the consistently catty remarks from certain ldotters will not change that.

I just watched her CPAC speech...where was Howie? Her presentation was exactly what one would expect at CPAC. She´s NOT running for anything; she´s no longer an elected official...what "specifics" would you expect? Sounds like, in your opinion, she had "too many notes" in her music.

It was a great speech. Hit every target and it was smart and encouraging.

Not surprised OP is starting the day with a Palin-bashing piece. She lives rent-free in some people´s heads, doncha know.

Palin upset 18 and 21 and all the Left, so I say she did GREAT.

In sum, gonads are America´s last, best hope.

Sarah Palin, according to the liberal press and pundits, cannot say good morning without it being controversial. Her humor and style set the conference on fire. She knows how to give a speech. Notice no teleprompter and a meager reference to her notes. The lady is brilliant.

#24 is right on target.

It is truly amazing how much the lib media still hates Sarah--and how AFRAID they are of her!

The media gave her about one week of neutral press back in 2008 when she was the surprise running mate of Senator McPain, and ever since they have been on a "search and destroy" mission trying to ruin her.

I so hope that Senators Cruz, Rubio, Lee and company can survive the now and forever "media anal exam" and Rush calls it--the problem is that its not just the media anymore...its the "old bulls" of the republican party after them as well!

I´ve always thought that the libs/media figured out early on that Sarah was a huge threat to Hillary becoming the first woman president someday and therefore had to work to destroy her as soon and totally as possible.
To me, she is, among so many other positive things, smart, funny, accomplished, honest, sincere and really easy on the eyes - all things that Hillary isn´t and never will be.

She drives you "bat crap crazy" doesn´t she Howie!

There are a lot of college Republicans at CPAC. The audience is much younger than at GOP conventions. Dress is more casual. Sarah knew her audience well.

Ronald Reagan was a better man than I. He was better looking, smarter, funnier, and--most important--braver. His singular courage in facing death by assassination left me humbled and proud. I honored Reagan for his gifts because everything he was became a gift to me over time.

Sarah Palin is a better women than her critics. She is better looking, smarter, funnier, and braver than they are. Palin´s singular courage in keeping her disabled baby leaves them envious and ashamed. So they find reasons to hate her, and in so doing reveal themselves. That which is conservative in them, and should respond to Palin´s rhetoric, is undone by that which is small in them and resentful of her gifts.

I pity them.

Well done Gov Palin, time to run for senate.

XXXIX, you get more concise and accurate every time you have to show up here and remind us all who they are and why there are that way. Gracias.

Howie´s "disjointed" was a great collection of zingers and truths that all found their respective targets like a shiv to the gut.

Her greatest political strength may not be as a candidate, but as the "warm-up act" not held to the constraints of trying to win office.

Howie, what substantive specific has your hero in the White House ever offered?

Done without a teleprompter, too.

Sarah is done with political office. But she isn´t done on the political scene. She knows she is the voice of the conservative people of this country, and she speaks for them-simple and straightforward-no pretty speeches and meaningless words. Unless you understand the message, you won´t understand Sarah and why she has staunch supporters and admirers.

Every time Sarah speaks I wind up thinking about popcorn. It must be the sound of all those leftard´s heads exploding...

Years ago, Sarah Palin went to a costume party as Tina Fey, and now she´s doing comedy too.
