Just what the GOP really needs: more fratricide.

MSDNC's Larry O'Donnell was all but literally frothing at the mouth as he denounced Palin's best-selling memoir as an "index and footnote free, score settling campaign memoir" possessing "[no] mind numbing charts or graphs, no big words, no scholarly Latin phrases, like caveat emptor."
If Sarah Palin is a joke, then why is the left-wing obsessed with destroying her? The right directs similar fury at Barack Obama, fair enough, but Obama is actually in power and making many bad decisions that actually affect our lives. Sarah Palin is a private citizen, with no power to rule over anyone. One can disagree with Palin's values, but it's not as if she's running up massive federal deficits or dithering over war strategy while our soldiers are dying in Afghanistan. John Edwards is in many ways the left-wing's analog to Sarah Palin, being the VP candidate on a losing presidential ticket and now a private citizen. (Newsweek did a cover story on John Edwards, too, once. Compare and contrast.) Sure, the right made fun of John Edwards. How could you not? The ambulance-chasing pretty boy with the enormous ugly house who knocked up a "campaign aide" while his wife fought cancer; the guy's a walking punchline. But did the right-wing media engage in an all-out, scorched Earth war on John Edwards? Hardly, because when someone really is a self-evident joke, those tactics are not necessary. |
