  This statement says so much

  Palin's empty chatter, self-conscious folksiness and chronic, seizure-like winking

  This is why Mr. Greenwald's professed concern for the common American rings hollow. Her folksiness is not "self-conscious"'; it's quite genuine, and people recognize it for what it is. Maybe Greenwald lives among people who are always putting on airs, and therefore he sees it everywhere, even where it isn't.

  And "chronic, seizure-like winking"?! Again, where I come from, a lot of people wink as a sort of shorthand for "you betcha" or the like. Again, Greenwald seems not to understand what millions of Americans do understand, and that's why his writing about "Americans" so misses the point. Sure, there are a lot of people like him, but they're concentrated in certain circles. There are tens of mllions of Americans who have more in common with Palin than with Greenwald.

  Really, now, couldn't you hold your condescension in check for even a few minutes?

  Oh, and where's your constitutional lawyer's concern for Biden's total mangling of what the Constitution actually says during the debate? Won't hear it from the MSM, and certainly won't hear it from Greenwald, so deep in the tank he is for Obama.

  Oh, still waiting for your scathing column on Obama's brownshirt tactics to shut down dissent in Chicago, Missouri, and in W. Va and Pennsylvania.
