Apparently Governor Palin's timely entry into the debate offended the sensibilities of Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute. In an article in the Financial Times, Ornstein was asked to comment:

The elites in the country (the political class), are in dire need of having their heads handed to them on a platter. Sara Palin has more sense than most of them.

Oh lookie what his claim to fame is
His greatest political influence may have come in writing substantial portions of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, also known as the “McCain-Feingold” campaign finance bill passed in 2002

He has really been busy
Since the establishment of Air America Radio, Ornstein has performed the bit with a wide variety of questions on The Al Franken Show. He also appeared on the March 7, 2006; April 24, 2006 and January 10, 2008 episodes of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central.
As Thomas Sowell said recently in a column, dumb people can only do so much damage. It takes really smart people to totally screw things up. (That is, people who think they are really smart.)
I guess we should throw the AEI under the bus
Another RINO outs himself!
Nor are most of the other likely presidential candidates on either side of the aisle. Certainly not the incumbent. What was the point?
I guess I’m not qualified either. Of course, all these smartest people anyone ever saw or hoped to see are driving this nation straight onto the ash heap of history, so the opinion of ANY of these clowns hardly matters.
a testosterone issue

Another sexist reference by a lefty. What a surprise.
