A Cultural Warrior she is indeed. She's a fraud too.

She'll do well in Kokomo. Picture her with a cloth robe and hat and the title of Wizard. That's about the level she has stooped to. A colonel in the imperial army of the POW nation. Guarded by lipstick clad pit bulls and hockey sticks ornamented with ceremonial PTA regalia. Marching ever onwards, and upwards (and whatever her pastor said), in search of enemies, foreign and domestic, blights of government waste, ghosts of bridges we don't (or do) need, and, well, you get the idea. Don't forget the kids and the in-laws, Sarah.

I believe HL Mencken referred to a flock of this sort as the "booboisie".

Burn some books here, muscle some influence there, and above all, drill, drill, drill. That's the Wizard of Palin for you.

Did I mention her husband is a world champion snow machine racer?

(Adapted from one of my earlier comments)

Most of what many people refer to as the liberal media has been very restrained and conservative towards McCain prior to his selection of Palin.

But the better part of the corporate media's view changed significantly and dramatically, almost immediately after Palin was selected. Did the media not know more about Palin than the general public did last Friday? Probably did. Does the media not know more about Palin than the general public knows today? Probably does.

But what does this really mean? I suspect something deeper is going on here...

(At the risk of criticism, error, and impropriety, I offer my first diary which is based upon some of my recent comments)

I've been thinking about the selection of Palin for (vice) president.

And my view has changed significantly in the last 24 hours. I think it would be incorrect to view the nomination of Palin for vice president as one of a candidacy for the vice president. Allow me to explain.
