Governor Palin 4 President

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is arguing against a proposed reduction of $1.4 billion to the Missile Defense Agency's budget.
Palin on Thursday sent a letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates outlining her concerns, saying the cut is "not the best decision to today's threat environment."
She noted North Korea's development and testing program, heightened after that country's weekend launch of a rocket.
Palin said a rocket launched from North Korea "has the clear potential of impacting Alaska, Hawaii, and possibly the West Coast, with a nuclear-armed warhead."
She says that shows how important it is for the United States to continue to develop and perfect the global missile defense shield.

On Fox News Neil Cavuto asks Rush Limbaugh who he sees as the up and comers in the Republican party looking ahead to 2012.
Rush names just two names. Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina and Governor Palin.
Says Rush, "I have always admired Governor Palin. I don't think people have any idea what it's like to walk in her shoes, after what she has been through with the media coverage. But she doesn't back down."

On April 15th, the “prestigious’ (and apparently now openly liberal) USC Annenberg School for Communication will be presenting CBS Evening News Anchor Katie Couric with the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Television Journalism.
Now, for there to even be such a thing as an prize for “Excellence in Television Journalism” in an age where a desperate thirst for ratings has caused most TV “news” to become little more than glorified infotainment, is a bit like passing out awards for fiscal responsibility to members of Congress. But for Katie Couric, the poster child of this “infotainmentification” of news, to be the recipient of such an oxymoronic honor is much like if that aforementioned trophy for frugal spending in Congress went to John Murtha or Barney Frank.

But what makes this situation so particularly galling is the specific reason why Couric is being honored for her “excellence in journalism.” Couric is being presented with the award for “Special Achievement for National Impact on the 2008 Campaign.”
What was it that Couric did that was so “special”? The judges singled her out solely for “her extraordinary, persistent and detailed multi-part interviews with Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.”
