Matthew Continetti Provokes Nausea

I know he's being paid to write fluff about her, but still. Trying to pretend that Sarah Palin knows the difference between Plato and Playdoh almost makes Karl Rove's nonsense about his big boy book reading contest with Dubya seem credible by comparison.

Hurl:

The Philosopher Queen

Sarah Palin mentions a (perhaps apocryphal) quote from Plato in her fascinating interview with Runner's World.

Curse you, Julian Sanchez.

P.S. Never mind the RW article, either. (Unless you want to see her new non-flight-attendant look and yet another shot of her holding Trig (does she jog while holding him?)) The Palin article you want is here.

Oh, snap. Can't believe I forget that aspect. Didn't even need the link -- I knew what you were talking about right away.

If I were a big-name blogger or comedian, I'd be standing by for fauxtraged squeals of SEXISM!!!1!.

I thought maybe it was a quote from Pluto, but then I realized Goofy was the dog that spoke.

Nice.

Matthew is a joke. His latest piece on Palin disregards the fact that she brought her own failures on herself (including quitting her job) and she is COMPLETELY unprepared for a bake-off, let alone national office. Matthew - give it UP. You look silly.

Yeah, the guy is a real tool. Clearly the major requirements for a conservative pundit these days is below average intelligence and the willingness to lie smugly.

I just heard this douchebag on NPR, sitting in for David Brooks (!). He is only 28 years old but feigns the authority of a much older/wiser person. He needs to be around for a few more decades before allowed to make such sweeping, generalistic allegations. He's PATHETIC.
