Suppose you're a PTA mom in Wasilla, Alaska.

You are invited, for a $100,000 fee, to speak to an East Asian trade summit in Hong Kong.

You are offered a multi-million dollar advance to write a book about your life's experiences, including high school basketball and service as a small town mayor.

You have 11,000 donors to a political action committee you established only in January, and raised more than $1 million in the first six months with a single e-mail solicitation to your supporters.

You have more than 850,000 Facebook friends.

In the past six weeks, you published editorials in the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.

The president of the United States, whom you oppose on most political issues, takes time out of a prime time speech on his signature domestic issue to express his disagreement with you.

To be more precise, he takes time out of that speech to express his disagreement with a Facebook message you sent to your friends. He also issues laminated talking points to his supporters which include recommended action steps for addressing your opinions.

Every opinion poll shows you in the Top Three contenders for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. Meanwhile, the GOP is at +7 in the Rasmussen congressional ballot poll -- a more than 20 point improvement since 2007.

How could this not be good?

I almost agree with you, with respect to Rep. Wilson.

Let's be honest. Obama is not lying when he says he can cut hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud and abuse. It's beyond dishonesty. It's beyond fantasy. It's like Batman and Robin, the TV show. It's like believing Commissioner Gordon can be talking to Bruce Wayne one minute and Batman the next with a mask and not realize the two are the same people.

It's camp. It's hysterical. I hope you do see that.

So, on that score, Rep. Wilson was probably understating the case in calling the president a liar.

I would agree with you that it was disrespectful, and should be avoided, except for the fact that the president called others (e.g., Gov. Palin) liars for justly criticizing his plan.

Granted, he wasn't shouting when he said it. He was just looking really troubled, with a furrowed brow. Same expression James Mason had in North by Northwest.

And of course, his accusation was false. His own guru, Dr. Emanuel, has called his brand of cost cutting "lipstick," saying it belies the need for cold rationing; i.e., death panels! I was watching the Beatles anthology tonight instead of the speech, and know something about gurus, based on their time over there in India. When your own guru is against you, that's not good.

To summarize, at most, I would condemn both Rep. Wilson and Pres. Obama for silly, accusatory outbursts. At least Rep. Wilson's was accurate.

I think this is all good for Palin.

Assuming she is pretending to be a presidential candidate for 2012 to sell books and raise money for her PAC and other causes, what could be better than to be singled out by the president in a nationally televised address?

I love it!

Assuming she is an actual presidential candidate for 2012, then we'll just have to see how it all shakes out. There haven't been any horse race polls for quite a while, although to be honest, a couple of glimmers out there from several weeks ago suggested Palin may be fading into a second place tie with Huckabee.

The good news there, with respect to Romney, recalls to mind Robert E. Lee's reaction to the news that General McClellan was approaching Richmond with massive, overwhelming numbers in 1862. "Yes," Lee said, "He brings a great force. Unfortunately, he also brings himself."

Back to Obama. He must be absolutely out of his senses to go into this type of angry diatribe in the middle of a presidential address. What was he thinking!

Oh well, I don't care. I've been thrilled since reading the Democratic "talking points" earlier today, singling out Gov. Palin. You know the ones -- for Democratic monkeys who can't think or speak for themsleves.

There were several reasons.

1. Obama now says the plan will be implemented in four years, to make sure we get it right. That's 2013.

Recall, the prior plan was to start funding in 2011, and issue insurance cards to grateful voters in 2012.

By aiming for 2013, he is effectively conceding no upside benefit for 2012. He is trying to deflate the tire -- to get something, anything, passed.

Call it Waterloo Aversion Syndrome.

2. So now he's going to cut "hundreds of billions" of dollars in "fraud and abuse"?

He needs to take this stuff to a comedy club.

3. Evidently, we're now going to pay for the plan with taxes on insurance and drug companies.

Speaking of flat tires, some of those "gold plated" insurance plans cover UAW workers. Take away their benefits, and you'll be calling AAA for road side assistance.

4. I suppose a Ted Kennedy tribute was inevitable, although I never think of him without thinking of Mary Jo.

5. Ah, the Palin attack. That was sweet. She's up on Facebook tonight slamming him back, and mocking the laminated "talking points" issued against her, as leader of the opposition.

This recalls to mind the James Mason line in North by Northwest, who tells Cary Grant, with reference to Eva Marie Saint, "She really has gotten under your skin, hasn't she?"

Palin first threw Obama off his game with 1233 and the Medicare review panels (i.e., death panels). Ever since then, his piss bucket boys in the media have been running around nervously, splashing themselves in the process, trying to cover his deficiencies. It isn't working.

Today, Palin beat Obamacare like a rag doll in the Wall Street Journal. I caught a few clips around 10ET of his angry diatribe against her. It made me laugh.

6. Oh, and we now have employee mandates. That's precious. I'm sure the uninsured will be patriotically moved by the receipt of initial invoices.

But wait! That can't happen until 2013.

What a mess! What a disaster!
