A Conservative Needs Some Time Alone

Rich Lowry of the NRO tells us a little too much about his reaction to Palin last night:

I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it.

We should all (especially Lowry's dry cleaner) be grateful she never used the phrase, "Drill baby, drill".
