How Evan Thomas Makes Conservatives Laugh at Him

Detailed in his idiot piece about Sarah Palin. You can read it, if you’ve a mind to waste effort on the obtuse. A quote will do:

Obama knows the long odds against a right-wing populist winning the presidency, no matter how good she looks in a skirt (or running clothes), brandishing a gun. He shouldn’t be too cocky, however, because the death of the center is ultimately a problem for him and the whole country. If the Palinistas seize the GOP, they probably cannot take the White House. But their brand of no-prisoners partisanship sure can tie up Congress.

‘Cause an un-tied Congress is so wonderful? Because the current Congress is doing such a good idea?

Thomas is just repeating the mistake of liberals past – assuming that the favorite of the populist/conservative American population is the problem. The actual problem, of course, if Obama’s ardent leftism and the leftism being rammed through by Pelosi and Reid in defiance of the popular will. But for people like Thomas, the ideal world is to have someone like Senator Lindsey Graham (RINO-NC) co-sign America’s death warrant, thus allowing liberals to say their idiocy is “bi-partisan” (and it should be noted that moderate, go-along, make nice-nice Graham is tanking in the polls – were he up for re-election in 2010, he’d be toast).

Our best move, for now, is to just let these fools yammer on – the more they think Palin is un-electable, the closer we get to a President Palin, or President Just-Like-Her, or, at any event, a President Not-At-All-Like-Obama.
