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.
Guess what? It doesn't make Governor Palin any more qualified to be on the ticket. She's been a bloody disaster as an elected official in her home state, and you think she'd be any better in the Oval Office?
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.
Which says more about you, that you're focusing on immaterial and insubstantial points rather than the walking nightmare that is the McCain/Palin campaign.
Really, now, couldn't you hold your condescension in check for even a few minutes?
Quite whinning. Your preferred candidates have earned it twenty times over.
Oh, and where's your constitutional lawyer's concern for Biden's total mangling of what the Constitution actually says during the debate?
Cite the quote and we can discuss it. I'm far more fascinated by Governor Palin's demonstrating an utter lack of empathy during the same.
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.
Again, citations please. You aren't presenting much of a case to believe you on, well, anything.
