Whether democrat or republican. They are equally pathetic.
Consider Sarah Palin:
Call the Palinphobes lacking in logic and they will have tantrums, but this time the sandal might fit. This is the Audacity of Type, a faith-based illusion if ever there was one, the belief that qualities shared by and appealing to pundits and writers - glibness, a worldly patina, and a superficial verbal facility - are those needed to run a great nation in a troubled and dangerous era.But which is more rational, to place limited trust in a proven reformer, who can learn certain facts she does not know already, or to breathe fictional traits into an unknown quantity, who has never run anything, or ever done much besides talk?
...at least, we now have sophisticates running the country, not a moose-hunting ditz from Alaska. God knows what might happen then. (The Audacity of Type)
It is so ironic that the highly educated have become the most ignorant of the world as it is.
