Palin needs to hit the mute button.


America’s favorite hockey-mom called on President Obama to “Push the reset button on our relations with our ally Israel.”

β€œIn the midst of all this embracing of enemies, where does the Obama Administration choose to escalate a minor incident into a major diplomatic confrontation? With Iran, Cuba, Sudan, North Korea or Burma? No. With our treasured ally, Israel.”

She may be right that the treatment is heavy handed, but in case anyone missed it, Palin lost the election. And part of the reason is that her foreign policy experience was the equivalent of my knowing how to read Hebrew making me Moses. Does being a religious wingnut make her an expert on relations with Israel? Or does it have to do with Alaska’s distance from Washington? Or that Alaska was the 49th or 50th state and Israel is the 51st? All seem possible.

The only difference between a political loser and Palin? Lipstick.
If only it were glue.

Oh, the Humanity!
