Ned notes with rising amusement and glowing sense of irony the attacks on Sarah Palin, half-term governor of Alaska and McCain's choice for VP, by a growing number of Republican grandees and self-appointed spokespersons. He recalls that Merchant of Slime and Innuendo, Karl Rove, who, if there were a just God, would have been at least investigated by a Grand Jury for the numerous shabby deals, misstatements, spin and outright lies put out under his watch as consiglieri under the Bush Regime.
Then, others, perhaps fearful of their secure and smug positions of power, prestige and authority, began to take up the attacks. Even extreme geezette Barbara Bush who should be spending her time praying on her knees to Jesus to forgive her son Dubya for his blood-stained outrages against the American, Iraqi and Afghan peoples, has apparently opined that Palin should 'go back to Alaska' or some such bromide. And her snipe has been defended by her only reputable son Jeb, natural enough for a dutiful son as he well may be.
Ned's point is this: the more these elitists attack Palin, the stronger will be her support among the room-temperature IQ crowd, gawking testosterone-hyped teens and twentysomething males, gun crazies, closet racists, NASCAR maniacs, 'traditionalist' women, and other members of whacked-out and demented cults and fringe groups peering out from under their rocks and cowpies all over this land.
For it is as much these GOP elitists as well as Democrats that Palin's supporters despise; indeed, anyone with anything more than an eighth grade education is probably suspect in their benighted eyes.
So, go ahead, Republican elitists, continue to sneer and snipe at Palin.
But the dilemma for these grandees is that they depend upon the support of the very ignoramuses that they are attacking when they attack Palin.
Ned therefore encourages his many friends to stay tuned.
