Republican Pundits Accidentally Weigh in on Palin
Oh, hot mics - when will you cease to plague the punditry among us?
They, the commentariat, who - while never saying a word of actual substance whilst on the air - have a legion of apt, insightful (and frequently profanity-filled) opinions on the matters of the day.
And those opinions are captured every time someone forgets to turn. the. damn. thing. off.
Peggy Noonan wrote in her column today:
Gut: The Sarah Palin choice is really going to work, or really not going to work. It’s not going to be a little successful or a little not; it’s not going to be a wash. She is either going to be magic or one of history’s accidents.
Fair enough. A seemingly honest assessment of a conflicted conservative.
What does Peggy Noonan really think, though? Only a MSNBC hot mic can tell us [video and transcript]:
It’s over… The most qualified? No. I think they went for this — excuse me — political bullshit about narratives… Every time the Republicans do that, because that’s not where they live and it’s not what they’re good at, they blow it.
Hell yeah, Pegs!
Also, whoops!
How much better would political television be if stuff like this was actually on the air. Have an opinion, let’s argue! Great!
Finally, Noonan also wrote today:
…[Palin] is a feminist not in the Yale Gender Studies sense but the How Do I Reload This Thang way, because she is a woman who in style, history, moxie and femininity is exactly like a normal American feminist and not an Abstract Theory feminist…
Note: any gun-toting feminist already knows how to reload that ‘thang’.
