Maybe her handlers will allow her to go on “Meet the Press”?

Doubtful… it will just give “Saturday Night Live” a weeks worth of material.

Run, Sarah, run. As a progressive, it would fulfill my greatest wish.

What’s amazing about Palin’s politics of resentment is that so often, they don’t even make sense. Case in point: she branded David Letterman as elite. David Letterman? The David Letterman who grew up in a middle-class family in Indiana, went to Ball State University, started his career as a weatherman in Terre Haute and slowly worked his way up to the top? That David Letterman? Yeah, sounds pretty elitist to me.

Whatever you think of his comedy, Letterman is a guy who was got to where he is through talent, hard work and determination. Aren’t Republicans supposed to like that sort of thing?

Mitt Romney is an opportunist and a practitioner of class warfare that would make Ted Kennedy proud.

Greg, I think they had to walk back their framing. Probably because somebody, (I would guess the WH and Bauchus) called and reamed them out about it. I am pretty sure there had to be some angry emails and phonecalls fired off behind that article and your blog post.

Danp, is that the cute hamster or the river rat rodent convention? I ask because cute hamsters certainly poll higher than repuglicans, while river rats . . . well maybe they poll higher as well.

Of course to vote, you had to claim you’re a Republican, so it’s kind of like best in show at the rodent convention.

More than any other GOP figure, Palin exemplifies the politics of spiteful resentment that drives the base more than any policy inititive ever could. She’s a natural at that kind of stuff, largely because that appears to be her personality as well as her politics. Who says the personal isn’t political?
