Over in the Frumistan province of the NR caliphate, our pal David is not happy about the Palin pick. I am - for several reasons.
First, Governor Palin is not merely, as Jay describes her, "all-American", but hyper-American. What other country in the developed world produces beauty queens who hunt caribou and serve up a terrific moose stew? As an immigrant, I'm not saying I came to the United States purely to meet chicks like that, but it was certainly high on my list of priorities. And for the gun-totin' Miss Wasilla then to go on to become Governor while having five kids makes it an even more uniquely American story. Next to her resume, a guy who's done nothing but serve in the phony-baloney job of "community organizer" and write multiple autobiographies looks like just another creepily self-absorbed lifelong member of the full-time political class that infests every advanced democracy.
Second, it can't be in Senator Obama's interest for the punditocracy to spends its time arguing about whether the Republicans' vice-presidential pick is "even more" inexperienced than the Democrats' presidential one.
Third, real people don't define "experience" as appearing on unwatched Sunday-morning talk shows every week for 35 years and having been around long enough to have got both the War on Terror and the Cold War wrong...
Fourth, Governor Palin has what the British Labour Party politician Denis Healy likes to call a "hinterland" - a life beyond politics...

Welcome back, Mark. Love ya, babe. You had me worried til a fellow Freeper told me you’d signed off for a while. We’re gonna need you in this fight. The MSM has already unleashed their harpies on Sarah. She’ll do great, but we need to fight for her anyway.
We got your back!
Full speed ahead!
But, you've got to see the video he references in #6,,,, it's hilarious.
Now that I’ve read this column, I’m wondering why I passed over it a few times. He’s got the whole argument nailed.
That is hilarious.
Steyn is back from vacation!!
The Motor City Mad Man... Terrible Teddy makes an appearance... greatness.
Can't wait to see what he says....
