Comments on: Jim Bennett’s comments on Gov. Palin http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/6130.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago.

I think there are many people--especially among journalists and academics--who really don't understand the difference between talking about things and actually getting them done, about the difference between being a Congressman/Senator and being a Mayor/Governor.
