Lately, the one and only news “commentator” who doesn’t come across like a total asshole is Campbell Brown.
Now, I despise Sarah Palin as much as the next person, but Brown has a point. The savagery with which the McCain campaign staff have been scapegoating Palin for Tuesday night’s loss really only serves to make those staffers look bad. Palin does a fine enough job of looking like the total ignoramus she is without any help from these people, but all the latest “behind-the-scenes revelations” only make the McCain people look even worse for having chosen her.
I, for one, would like to forget Sarah Palin. Let her go back to Alaska, return all the expensive duds, and get back to keeping an eye out on Vladimir Putin. The Republican Party shat its own bed and needs to clean it up themselves, not blame her.
Hee. And yeah, it would be a colossal oversimplification to blame that stupid bitch for the present Republican pickle. She’s just not important enough. To paraphrase P.J. O’Rourke, Sarah Palin may be famous, but a lamprey is more important than Sarah Palin. (He said it about Bianca Jagger.)
