    "Mom, what are you talking about? You're not that old. You're not going to die soon...mom, I don't know if people still care about the Sarah Palin 'bullshit' thing you said!...no, it won't affect your legacy. Stop asking me...hey, the soccer field's up here, can you drop me off?"

    @msquared: Hopefully that they were unnecessary. If you use commas judiciously you probably won't need to use the em-dash.

    For a while now Peggy has been locked in an epic battle with George Will for my own personal "People Whom I Can't, for the Life of Me, Figure Out Why They Are Given a Platform for Punditry by the Mainstream Media When They Should Instead be Ridiculed and Poked with Sharp Objects Award".

    They're the Shackleton and Amundsen of inanity.

    The elites made Sarah Palin a star to win a bet to see if they could fool the GOP faithful that she was a real leader. Little Eliza Doolittle Palin was taken under the wing of Henry Kristol Higgens, but she'd prefer to be a caribou cockney flower girl.

    Where the hell am I going with this metaphor?

    In reply to Peggy Noonan's Snappy Answers to Stupid Palin Defenses
    My favorite thing about this is the righty CW that the left "overplayed their hand" and went too far in attacking her, thereby increasing her popularity. Oh? We pretty much successfully destroyed the Republican chances in 2008 by exposing her for what she was, and now we've pretty well successfully destroyed Sarah Palin's career. (If that sounds harsh to say, just weigh the cost/benefit of America with or without her. She deserved it, and anyway, she's the quitter. Nobody put a gun to her head.)

    I wouldn't call that "overplaying our hand", I would call that "masterfully playing our hand."

    Ok, this is now in danger of turning into an innuendo.

    The most excellent part of this is the WSJ comment section for the story, wherein Republicans race to label Noonan as elite for daring to admonish...her party's elite?



    Samples:



    "your an elitist snob" (extra points for authentic non-elitist spelling).



    "Peggy, Just what have you accomplished that makes you believe that you have the right to call Sarah Palin inadequate, and to suggest that she doesn't know her "personal limits" or even "how to think?" Snobbery, such as you've just demonstrated, makes people with a positive message, like Sarah, even more attractive. What a bitter person you have shown yourself to be, It's quite sad how far you've sunk." (No one can criticize Palin without adequate personal accomplishment. Which explains, of course, why Palin isn't self-critical.).



    "Peggy I hear Salon is looking for new writers. How about an even trade, you for Camille Paglia?" (oh, snap!)

    "She makes the party look stupid, a party of the easily manipulated."

    Pareene, this is the definition of inclusive.

    @HiredGoons: honestly, the bigger question is why she thinks palin makes them look stupid, as opposed to proving just how many of them actually are stupid. she can be as correct as she wants about the fact that palin was actually concocted by a cabal of "elites" led by bill kristol, in a laboratory, to pander to an imagined dumb and slovenly base and wasn't a base movement at all, but if half your party is still eating out of biblebot's hands, well...?

    @HiredGoons: in fairness to noonan's gin-drenched ramblings, she never claims palin isn't a republican. just that she's a harmful, dim-witted example of one, who should be summarily shunned and ignored, now pass the limes, please.

    @allyzay:

    There's a lot of talk about the party identity. I think it would be healthy if they were somehow able to form a constituency that amounts to more than a few deficit hawks and a lot of psychotic WASP supremacists.

    @Unsolicited Advice: ultimately, i feel like those two groups constitute two totally separate parties and identities. palin's not a deficit hawk nor does she care about fiscal responsibilities, and her base is the same. the only connection that the elite peggy is referencing and the "base" seem to have is this abject fear of muslims/blacks/hispanics/whichever minority is most accessible to their mind at the moment. i'm not sure what their ultimate constituency would be anymore.

    Say what you will about Noonan, but "she is a ponder-free zone" is a brilliant encapsulation of Sarah Palin.
