Sarah Palin: The Paleolithic Princess of Parsimonious Patriotism

[Bunny]

I love Tony Norman of the Post-Gazette.


Sarah Palin, the Classic Schoolyard Bully

<snip>
"And I am so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America," Sarah Palin said whipping up a crowd in Florida yesterday the way bullies did in high school. " see America as the greatest source for good in the world. I'm afraid is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country."

It was the kind of sleazy, reprehensible charge that only a desperate candidate would stoop to a month before Election Day. Still, Sarah Palin relished the theatricality of the moment. She made the charge several times over the weekend, too.

While the financial system as they knew it was falling down around their ears, Sarah Palin insisted that a nonexistent relationship between her opponent and an aging '60s radical was the biggest problem facing the Republic. That didn't matter to her. She was the biggest demagogue in America, for all the good it did her sputtering, drifting campaign.

It's times like these when I get nostalgic for old coots like Spiro Agnew, a raging ideologue who had the sense to know when he was lying to the American people. He would have been charmed, but horrified by Sarah Palin. He would have dubbed her the Paleolithic Princess of Parsimonious Patriotism. And it would have stuck, too.

1. I LOVE this part particularly:

"In a much ridiculed post on its Web site last week, National Review editor Rich Lowry described Ms. Palin's performance against Joe Biden in terms best reserved for risque infomercials hawking male enhancement pills:

"Palin ... projects through the screen like crazy. 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 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."

For some conservatives, the Sarah Palin effect lasts longer than the four hours the doctors warned them about. ..."


Haha! Rich Lowry thought she was winking at him. I hope he never lives this down, the ridiculous twit.
