@86 I choose to say “Huh?”

How do you get from my doubting the veracity of an unsubstantiated, unverified report from someone who is bitterly opposed to Sarah Palin politically, published in a newspaper that favors ideology over fact-checking to “clearly, you think anybody critical of Palin can’t possibly be right or truthful?”

Tell me, when you’re building your strawman, do you ever find yourself humming “If I only had a brain?”

BTW: Not that Sarah Palin would be my first choice to be running the country right now, but if I had to choose, I’d much rather have someone in charge who thought that the entire human race was descended from Fred Flintstone than someone who believed that Keynesian economics was a viable policy option. Its a heck of a lot easier to assemble an evidence based case for the first proposition than for the second . . .
