From Pine View Farm

Beyond the Palin 0

Shaun Mullen tries to figure out why the media continue to be fascinated with and give credence to a person whom my mother would have aptly characterized as “the biggest nothing.” It’s another example of something I mentioned the other day: the “Entertainment-Tonightization” of our political reporting.

A nugget:

There are few, if any, better examples of a resume without a person than Palin, whose sheer vapidity and penchant for making over-the-top declarations; indeed, saying the wrong thing time and again, nevertheless makes her such a magnet for people who are convinced, as she is, that America has gone crazy. (We actually kind of agree here, although for different reasons.)

Read the rest. And weep.
