One month after her debut as Sen. John McCain’s other political half, I honestly have yet to hear much from the mouth of Sarah Palin that I can agree with. And that is in spite of her coy efforts at appearing far more moderate than she actually is. I like to think I am not as gullible as some. Yet I find myself in near-agreement with Palin’s recent highly controversial remarks that the U.S. should pursue terrorists in Pakistan — if necessary, even without that nation’s consent.

A startling new book released today and reviewed on Politico offers perhaps the most disturbing account yet of the gross malfeasance that a growing parade of critics and ex-insiders alike say seems to permeate the current executive branch of our government. “The Way of the World,” written by author and Pulitzer Prize-winning former Wall Street Journal reporter Ron Suskind, goes far beyond various past accounts that have claimed the White House in the run-up to Operation Iraqi Freedom intentionally ignored any intelligence or evidence that interfered with its own predetermined war mindset. If only they had stopped there.
