Apparently Richard Cohen of the Washington Post has a difficult time ignoring that which he emphatically states he finds insignificant. Isn't there a modicum of hypocrisy in that? If Sarah Palin is so vacuous, venal and insignificant, why does he spend so much time vilifying and demeaning her?
She's Nothing Now and Never Was
Somehow it all comes back to the idea that if you don't have an Ivy League accent, live in a metro brownstone, eschew private cars for taxis and sip lattes while discussing Camus and Sartre with your pinky raised, then you can't be intellectually grounded. Saying "you betcha!" will significantly outweigh any executive office credentials you might possess.
I'm not sure Sarah is the coming of the anti-Obama or even a prophet of the reformation of the republic. I do know, however, that she speaks a language that the folks in fly-over country can understand and it seems they are sympathetic to her observations.
If she is so meaningless in the political balance, why do they devote so much time to her?
