Un caño para Palin, y no precisamente del mainstream media. Peggy Noonan:

Her supporters accuse her critics of snobbery: Maybe she's not a big "egghead" but she has brilliant instincts and inner toughness. But what instincts? "I'm Joe Six-Pack"? She does not speak seriously but attempts to excite sensation—"palling around with terrorists." If the Ayers case is a serious issue, treat it seriously. She is not as thoughtful or persuasive as Joe the Plumber, who in an extended cable interview Thursday made a better case for the Republican ticket than the Republican ticket has made. In the past two weeks she has spent her time throwing out tinny lines to crowds she doesn't, really, understand. This is not a leader, this is a follower, and she follows what she imagines is the base, which is in fact a vast and broken-hearted thing whose pain she cannot, actually, imagine. She could reinspire and reinspirit; she chooses merely to excite. She doesn't seem to understand the implications of her own thoughts.

Y esta parte, imperdible:
No news conferences? Interviews now only with friendly journalists? You can't be president or vice president and govern in that style.
Mi querida Peggy, has escuchado del país del tango?

  1. Ramiro, cualquiera diría que por lo rayado de tus posts (Palin es mala, no sirve, es tonta, no sabe, McCain también es tonto, no lo digo yo solamente, ni lo dicen sólo los liberales, miren, miren, también los conservadores lo dicen, ¿ven? ¿ven?) no te gusta la boleta republicana de estas elecciones.

  2. Sí, terminó saliendo bastante mal.

    Prometía mucho pero no estuvo a la altura.
