TR Comparison? Check. NYT Scoffs? Check. But What Will She See in Vlad Putin's Eyes?

Way over here in the hinterlands of New York, it is hard to get a true read on this Sarah Palin character. So we have to look to some proxy information...

Alec Ellison of Rye, NY gets a letter into the WSJ letters section today that is quietly and elegantly devastating to the critics of Sarah Palin, at least to history buffs and TR fans...

"Under 45, lover of the outdoors, a Republican reformer who has taken on the Republican Party establishment, has many children, and a spot on the national ticket as vice president with less than two years in the governor's office -- you describe Teddy Roosevelt in 1900 and Sarah Palin in 2008."

Of course it might simply suffice to say that if you know nothing about Sarah Palin, all you need to know is that the New York Times scoffs at her. In fact the entire cadre of elite media jerkoffs hate her.

Judging by the evidence so far, you gotta love Sarah Palin. If she makes any reference tonight to Milton Friedman, bashes Hugo Chavez, or says she'll make Vlad Putin lick her Jimmy Choos, we'll have all the confirmation we need.

UPDATE: Was it just my satellite feed or did Sarah Palin really say "Vlad Putin will crawl back across the Georgian border or I will waste that miserable Russian bear like it was a crippled moose." ??
