To the right, the mere fact that the press questions her fitness proves that she is one of them. As the original rationales for Palin melt away, this bond has become unshakable. Her lack of qualifications turns out to be her greatest qualification.
Last week on Real Time with Bill Maher, WSJ wingnut columnist John Fund summed up Chait's sentiment as Bill and his other two guests (Janeane Garofalo and Salman Rushdie) bashed Sarah Palin relentlessly. With a shit-eating grin, he just said, "Keep it up. Keep it up."
Scary thought. This is precisely why Obama and Biden are avoiding criticizing Palin as much as possible.
Speaking of Biden, did anyone catch last night's interview with Katie Couric?
Well, Andrew Sullivan would hate the redistribution tack, but Biden says what no one else at that level is willing or brave enough to say.Katie: Your vice presidential rival, Governor Palin, said "To the rest of America, that's not patriotism. Raising taxes is about killing jobs and hurting small businesses and making things worse."
Biden: How many small businessmen are making one million, four hundred thousand--average in the top 1 percent. Give me a break. I remind my friend, John McCain, what he said -- when Bush called for war and tax cuts -- he said, it was immoral, immoral, to take a nation to war and not have anybody pay for it. I am so sick and tired of this phoniness. The truth of the matter is that we are in trouble. And the people who do not need a new tax cut should be willing, as patriotic Americans, to understand the way to get this economy back up on their feet is to give middle class taxpayers a break. We take the tax cut they're getting and we give it to the middle class.
