Lest We Forget
She's been uncharacteristically ordinary of late, our Sarah, doing next to nothing even slightly mockable. I don't know what this is about, and prolly Helen doesn't either.But, in one of the finest pieces of writing I've read recently, Matt Taibbi reminds us of just who this woman really is and what we should keep in mind as she readies her campaign. You can read it in its entirety here.
I think my very favorite part is the line that says, "Nobody understands this . . . quite like Palin, even if she doesn’t actually understand it in the sense of someone who thinks her way to a conclusion, but merely lives it, unconsciously, with the unerring instinct of a herd animal."
Is that splendid or is that splendid?

The other America doesn’t read and doesn’t remember anything it didn’t learn in the last five minutes; it’s angry and unhappy but doesn’t want to think about why, and knows only that it wants someone to pay the price for what it feels.
So true, so true. Thanks for sharing.

Be afraid, be very afraid.
It just amazes me that people actually think she's qualified to run for the presidency!!!!!!!!!
Funny, the word verification is rebol which is almost right.
It was as cynical a choice as Bush I chossing Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court. You want an African American or a woman? Here ya go! Cynical and/or clueless.
