[Frum]: 2) Unlike Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich, Palin is much less well informed and much less mentally nimble than O’Reilly and other Fox hosts. Over time, even her most starry-eyed fans will not be able to postpone noticing this.
[Reader] You’re kidding, right? Although I suspect that the converse may end up being true – Palin will over time develop new soundbites from sitting around listening to those around her (I never got the impression she spent much time watching even Fox in the past), and her supporters will tout those revised soundbites as a sign of “growth and command of issues.” You’ve gotta remember that defending Sarah is like defending Biblical inerrancy – you start with the premise that she’s right, and work from there.
Is this really how Palinites view her? Is he already this messianic? Do her people really view her as the one to "restore" America to its true Christian roots? Or do they now care so little that they're just willing to be entertained by her?
