The Hill has a mildly interesting piece about how Alaska Govenor Sarah Palin is beginning to irritate some GOP senators:<\/p>\n
Sarah Palin has begun to get on the nerves of Republican senators who say the former GOP vice presidential nominee is taking her own White House aspirations entirely too seriously.<\/p>\n
But those same senators may have their eye on a 2012 White House run or be friends with senators with presidential ambitions. And Palin, who does not have a lot of Washington connections, energized the party\u2019s grass roots in 2008 while bucking the D.C. establishment, leaving much of the party\u2019s elite grumbling about her appeal to the conservative base.<\/p>\n

Heh… I’m glad someone in the Republican Party is taking 2012 seriously. It’s shame those same GOP senators aren’t getting irritated over and speaking out against Barack Obama’s economic policies.<\/p>\n
Here’s Gov. Palin’s interview with Sean Hannity:<\/p>\n
