A Farce & a Coward

from Andrew Sullivan

By the way I think Obama's absolutely right not to engage Palin directly. She is a farce and a coward and cannot be engaged by intelligent adults. Any treatment of her as a serious figure worth actually debating when she has yet to make a single argument on any substantive or complex policy question is futile and counter-productive. The president needs to create a better narrative as to why his policies are the best the country can do with right now - his most evident rhetorical and political failing right now - not give this farrago of Facebook fantasies the stature she craves.
