Great Minds Think Alike?

WITH regards to my post from yesterday, Crooks and Liars is reporting on the buzz that Sarah Palin is planning to spearhead her own conservative movement.

For the life of me, I can't quite figure out why so many Republicans continue to champion someone who is so patently the product of circumstance rather than qualification. But if anyone's going to lead a boisterous, self-righteous, radicalized party of racists, xenophobes, hypocrites, self-important and self-styled militiamen, religious zealots, and pundits who think feeble-minded ignorance is the same as being straight-talking, she's definitely the one to do it. Maybe then the proper conservatives, freed of the burden of having to shout over the din of the Limbaughs and Malkins, can get their act together and start putting forward some coherent political alternatives to the Democrats' centrist muddle du jour.
