The Press Continues to Prop Up Sarah

Mark Halperin, another one of our sacred wise men, in Time Magazine:

"Don't underestimate Sarah Palin. Yes, she is hyper-polarizing: she sends her fans into rapture and drives her detractors stark raving mad. But she can dominate the news cycle with a single tweet and generate three days of coverage with a single speech"

And whose fault is that, you stupid, asinine jerk? Do you think people like you will ever muster the decency to deal with the real issues facing this country, or are you intending to spend the rest of your life forcing the American people to deal with the threat of being ruled by corrupt, self-serving demagogues like Sarah Palin? It's your fault that this sort of person is allowed to dominate our political life, and it will be the fault of people like you if they continue to plague our society.

Mr. Halperin, there is a point at which your indifference to our welfare and your kissing up to self-generated right wing celebrity moves from being a childish weakness into being real evil.

In your case, that happened long ago.
