I’m posting Frank Rich’s excellent analysis of the dangers of Sarah Palin partly because it needs to be posted and partly to stick it in a small way to The New York Times, the online edition of which has suddenly reappeared in my inbox after vanishing for a month or so while they wanted me to pay for it or something.
“Liberals had a blast mocking Sarah Palin last weekend when she was caught addressing the Tea Party Converntion with a cheat sheet scrawled on her hand.Even the president's press secretary, Robert Gibbs, couldn't resist getting into the act and treated a White House briefing to a Palin gag of his own. Yet the laughter rang hollow. You had to wonder if Palin, who is nothing if not cunning, had sprung a trap. She knows all too well that the more the so-called elites lampoon her, the more she cements her cred with the third of the country that is her base. Her hand hieroglyphics may not have been speaking aids but bait. If so, mission accomplished. Her sleight of hand gave the anti-Palin chorus another prod to deride her as an empty-headed, subliterate clown, and her fans another cue to rally. The only problem is that the serious import of Palin's overriding political message got lost in this distracting sideshow. That message has the power to upend the Obama presidency - even if Palin, with her record low approval ratings, never gets anywhere near the White House.” (Click here for the rest.)
The only problem is that she is an empty-headed, subliterate clown but simultaneously greedy and devious. That’s why she's so beloved by the mindless mob.

LOL... just wait, her sex scandal is going to be hilarious.
A Palin sex scandal would make be very happy.
..Especially with graphic photos. Mmmm. Palin.
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes. Republican strategist Rich Galen recently said that what you want to do is get your adversary's highest-ranking members involved in debate with your lowest-ranking members. That's the Republican party's genius: by taking a dope like Palin and bringing her into a White House briefing, even in mockery, they elevate her to international status, long after she should have gone back to the frozen North.
Whether or not the scribble on her hand was bait, Democrats can't seem to resist her, and the other far-right ilk, of what should be a marginalized fringe.
