There are some moments when members of a political movement come together as one, sharing the same thoughts, feeling the same emotions, breathing the same shallow breaths. One of those occasions occurred Thursday night when Republicans around the country crouched nervously behind their sofas, glimpsed out tentatively at their flat screens and gripped their beverages tightly as Sarah Palin walked onto the debate stage at Washington University in St. Louis.
There she was, resplendent in black, striding out like a power-walker, and greeting Joe Biden like an assertive salesman, first-naming him right off the bat.
Just as the midcentury psychologist Abraham Maslow predicted, Republicans watching the debate had a hierarchy of needs. First, they had a need for survival. Was this woman capable of completing an extemporaneous paragraph — a collection of sentences with subjects, verbs, objects and, if possible, an actual meaning?

Tepid praise from David Brooks.. I wonder if Kathleen Parker will be next?
Your repoeated inapproprate mouthing of the term "reform" in last night's debate will never convince anybody with a pulse that you are a reformer or that your running mate is a "maverick".
Hey Mr. Brooks, eat moose and die!
Dahling,
spell chek is yer frend

LOLOLOL!
It must be sad to have nothing more than pure denial left to hold onto.
Can’t believe this is from the Slimes.
This Republican was standing and cheering on the couch at Palin’s entrance and never got down.
Show of hands for those of us who were “crouching nervously behind our sofas” and so on??? I am so tired of this nonsense.
Memo to arm chair political consultants: Your continuous hammering and whining helps NO ONE.
Scares you, doesn’t she?
Ah, MurryMom’s back!
Didn’t Sarah Palin look good last night? You know she’s had five kids and still looks like that? That’s gotta p!ss you off, doesn’t it? She runs (ie, works for it).
Oh, and as to your “reform” criticism, you must be unaware of her record in Alaska. Look it up and get back to us.
Go away drama queen.
The token Republican at the soon to be bankrupt NYT had to say something, I bet he is now afraid Tom Freidman will start slapping him the back of the head as he walks by Brook’s desk..
Parker would look pretty stupid since she was on every show that would take her yesterday, talking trash about Sarah and demanding she step down.
She brings an unarticulatable dread to leftists -
they know that she represents the destruction of their entire power base.
How did the misconception that brooks was somehow a “conservative” get started?
Even if he is on the left cusp of conservatism, then like George Will and a few others, he’s a conservative elite.
I wonder if Kathleen Parker is still clutching to her hope that McCainw will dump Sarah and replace her on the ticket with Mitt Romney?
Only in the Fantasyland of the conservative elites...
Well for heaven’s sake, look what the cat drug in! FR’s own little Maureen Dowd.
Not very happy today are you? LOLOLOLOL
Can we switch McCain out for Jindal?
