From a comment thread over at John Cole’s place:
I’m sorry, I’m trying to be an adult about this, but Sarah Palin has to be the dumbest, least-competently-managed figure in politics today. At this point I can pretty much use her as a litmus test to gauge someone’s intelligence and seriousness about solving problems in America. As in, if you really believe Sarah Palin is the answer, then I can tell immediately that you’re 1) not very bright, 2) not serious about solving America’s problems, or 3) 1 + 2.
Cy-kick brought up a great point. Plenty of serious people are concerned about issues on the table now. No doubt. But there has to be a better way to discuss things than that advocated by the presumed spokesman of the party. As David Frum notes-things are beyond silly now, they are getting downright dangerous. For all of us and for the Republic. Yes the left has their loons too-but as my Canadian counterpart reminded us some weeks ago, the Republicans were supposed to be better than this.
