I doubt that Europe will “love” Palin; she’s too frontier for them (at least for Western Europe). She’ll remind them of Bush – I predict the term “cowgirl” will come out a lot, though possibly it’ll be the actually pejorative “trailer trash” that we’re already hearing. (I try not to tar everybody with the same brush, but good LORD, Democrats!) And she’ll be unrelentingly critical of the talk-talk-talk that is the EU’s M.O. She might end up being Thatcher for the new millenium – I hope she will – but was Thatcher any more beloved in her own hemisphere than, say, the vilified Reagan of the ’80s?
