From Dr. Clouthier's review:

Over Thanksgiving, I read Sarah Palin’s new book, America by Heart : Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag. My first thought after finishing it? Wow, that was good. My second thought? If someone gripes about her from now on, I’m going to respond,”Have you read her book?” When the opinionated person says, “No.” I’m going to say back, “Talk to me after you’ve read her book.” ...

And anyone who claims to be an intellectual but refuses to engage intellectually by refusing to read her book deserves to be ignored ...

It looks like Dr. Clouthier has passed the Palinista logic test.

I like these two phrases in particular....

"While the small minded and intellectually shallow continue to wail away at Sarah Palin..."

and....

", Sarah Palin manages to write a highly philosophical book without sounding stridently ideological. Indeed, she says what most Americans believe but don't say because they have been brow beaten into politically correct silence."

In the first the author contends that nobody of any substance or intelligence could possibly object to anything Palin (and then uses the wrong word).

In the second he accomplishes two things that are pretty funny...couching Palin as "highly philosophical" (kind of a modern day Thomas Paine, de ocqueville or Descartes) and the painting of the rest of conservative Americans as cowards.
