I have ordered a large bouquet of red roses to be delivered this afternoon to the offices of the Los Angeles Titanic at 2nd and Spring. My message is succinct and sincere, commending their marvelous journalists for bravely displaying mature restraint by only whacking Sarah Palin in three rolled-out stories in this morning’s edition.
I am as Palin’d out as I am Tucson’d out.
I will match my passions against the hardiest trouper. But boys, don’t you ever weary of writing the same Sarah-is-deplorable story two or three times every week on the calendar?
A Threat to Remember
Forget Gabby Giffords.
The unluckiest guy in North America is the owner of the company with whom Sarah Palin has her life insurance.
She is the unchallenged queen of death threat recipients. Ms. Giffords would not come within a hundred. I would not stand beside Ms. Palin in public any more than I would hang from the top of the Empire State Building by the big toe on my left foot.
Watching the Titanic club Ms. Palin in print every day as if she were a baby seal reminds me of the ghastly way Michael Vick treated his dogs.
The left-wing website politico.com carried a major story this morning that compared Ms. Palin’s video’d response to Sarah-haters at all newspapers with “Times” in the title with Swishie’s excellent oratory last night in Tucson. Why? Is anyone on the left grown up?
Some people wonder why jornalists are unfavorably compared to rodeo clowns who wear barrels with suspenders. See above.
The rudimentary frustration is:
When you turn to debate the non-stop stream of vulgarities and calumnies spewed by the left since Tucson blew up, no one is there.
The essayist George Will of the Washington Post elegantly captured the absence of ballast on the left in the closing two paragraphs of this morning’s column. Please read it carefully. Digest and ponder. With enviable class and panache, Mr. Will undresses and deftly subdues, nay, discourages opponents from fighting back. His fifth sentence shimmers with wisdom rarely found in a newspaper.
“Three days before Tucson, Howard Dean explained that the Tea Party movement is ‘the last gasp of the generation that has trouble with diversity.’ Rising to the challenge of lowering his reputation and the tone of public discourse, Dean smeared Tea Partiers as racists. They oppose Obama’s agenda, Obama is African-American, ergo…
“Let us hope that Dean is the last gasp of the generation of liberals whose default position in any argument is to indict opponents as racists. This McCarthyism of the left — devoid of intellectual content — is a mental tic, a tactic for avoiding engagement with ideas. It expresses limitless contempt for the American people, who have reciprocated by reducing liberalism to its current characteristics of electoral weakness and bad sociology.”
Now I will entertain an “Amen.”
