Weigel resigned from the Washington Post two weeks ago.  Weigel, a sometimes friend of Libertarian Republican blog, and a former writer for Reason, for the first time admits that he has somewhat of an admiration for Sarah Palin.  <\/p><p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.esquire.com\/blogs\/politics\/dave-weigel-email-controversy-070810#ixzz0t7fSQaoZ\">Esquire<\/a>:<\/p><blockquote><p>Over the first churning forty-eight hours of this whole mess, I resisted &mdash; and then accepted &mdash; a new sympathy for a politician I'd never pretended to admire much: Sarah Palin. A political celebrity who raises money and appears on TV needs the media in a way that a reporter doesn't. But damn if I didn't feel sorry for the way every utterance Palin ever makes is taffy-pulled and inspected for lies. During the trial of a boy who hacked into Palin's private e-mail account, I debunked a rumor while appearing on MSNBC &mdash; where I am now a contributor &mdash; that she had \"perjured\" herself on the stand. She hadn't. She'd spoken correctly, if clumsily, about some of her old e-mails. Like I said: screwed, and then a new sympathy. (Of course, journalists would have had an easier time reaching me than Palin, who is notoriously difficult to get a comment from unless you happen to be a Fox News host.)<\/p><\/blockquote><div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/6c22b_7828681836623105417-324025237232166752?l=www.libertarianrepublican.net\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breaking News...Libertarian Republican was one of a number of on-line media to receive an early release of a commentary from left-libertarian journalist Dave Weigel at Esquire Magazine.
