National Review to Sarah Palin: Stay Home and Bake Cookies

This photo provided by the U.S. Navy shows Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, left, and her husband Todd, addressing the crew of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, June 22, 2009

Normally I like Jonah Goldberg’s work but today he resumes the “in the tank” mentality for Mitt Romney at National Review in this piece.

The subhead says it all:

A Letter to Sarah Palin

Stay home and do your job and your homework.

Please Jonah and National Review. Why don’t you just tell this “unqualified” Alaska Governor woman to just stay home and bake cookies.

Sure, you guys want Mitt Romney – and why that is – is due to the fact he has pumped money into your fledgling magazine and your careers, but sheesh. If Palin wants to run now or later – let her do it her way – even with all of the carping from the LEFT and Romney right.

I was disappointed in the National Review during the 2008 GOP Presidential season and continue to be. As a conservative voice of reason you have lost your way.

    I hate to say this, but I’m afraid Mitt Romney is doing what McCain did between 2004 and 2008 – destroy every opposing candidate and power base. McCain used the Indian Affairs Committee to tear down the social conservative power base in DC. He tore down Delay and Norquist, and dogged the GOP agenda in Congress, and criticized Bush and got the nomination, but it wasn’t of any use because the base wasn’t there to vote for him. Now Romney is doing the same – he’s using Politico and the other rags to burn all viable candidates. End of the day, even if he gets the nomination, he’s going to end up all alone.

    Ling,

    You are absolutely correct.

    Mitt Romney will be the Dole and McCain of the GOP Presidential nominees and Obama will cruise to a second term.

    Palin will be there in 2016 to pick up the pieces of the national GOP.
