Wouldn't you expect Peggy Noonan to be looking at Sarah Palin as the next great collaborator for her gifted speechwriting given the way that Sarah is a natural in Uncle Ronnie's mold? I guess that shows how badly Noonan is infested with elitism.
It also gets her goat that we don't need her and her fellow members of the chattering class for information.
I think that we need to reassess where the GOP is going, and either do what Move On did with the Dims and take over the joint, or agree that it's been fun, but we'll see 'ya around the campus. Me personally, I believe that an amicable divorce is probably the best approach-let them come and court our votes instead of taking them for granted. There's nothing wrong with interest group politics-it got us Sarah Palin, after all.
