In short, if Palin is a “nutty puppy,” these Washington and New York insiders are a deranged pack of rabid dogs. Why, though, the venom?
Let us count the ways in which Palin enrages:
False Consciousness
1) The sophisticated elite “sees” the real world behind the middle-American façade-how the mob is led, fooled, mesmerized-exploited and manipulated through addiction to idiotic things like Wal-Mart, wall-to-wall carpeting, tract houses, Yukons, etc. Can’t smart people see that Palin’s naugahyde family is a reification of all this middle-class, mindless consumerism, without style, erudition, nuance and skepticism? How infuriating to sit here in New York and think that a winking tart could ever be elected, when seasoned sophisticates like Joe Biden and cosmopolitan metrosexuals like Barack Obama, who see it all, might not have been.
Powermen-Not Powerful Men
2) Twenty-first century power women do not marry men like Todd Palin. Looks, physicality, practicality, courage even-all these are nineteenth-century virtues that now mean nothing in a post-modern, post-industrial society. The fixer in finance, law, academia, politics, or the media-geek, nerd, wimp, who cares?-is the new Alpha male....

He nails it again!!!!
Why is there never a chance to vote for a Victor Davis Hanson for anything?
We are not retreating......
Actually, it was not MacArthur, but another general, who made this quote. She got it wrong, but we get her point.
What was Cindy Sheehan when you were making her your poster child, MSM? What a bunch of morons.
I thought it was Gen Puller, but I might well be wrong.

More and more VDH is climbing way over Krauthammer in my favorable opinion... the last paragraph is the absolute best.

Ummmmm....no, it was MacArthur;

The last novelist to make a habit of creating male characters who were honest, decent, honorable, "manly" men was Anthony Trollope. Mr. Harding, Archdeacon Grantly, Dr. Thorne, even Rev. Crawley . . . all good men that you would be honored to have in the family.
If you haven't read any Trollope, I highly recommend him. Barchester Towers is as good a place to start as any.
It has been quoted as a General Puller and a General Smith at other sources. As I said, we get her point. If she was incorrect others will make sure to blast her for it.
He’s still stubbornly off about her running in 2012, which is what I believe she is doing and should be doing.
Just needs to be posted over and over again. The same can be said for the Washington insiders and media elites on both coasts I have met through the years.
The lack of intelligence, wisdom and practical knowledge running the halls of those great big buildings in DC is scary. Its no surprise we get TARP, nationalized car manufacturers, Cap & Tax and a healthcare takeover being seriously considered by the intellectual giants in Congress and the occupied White House.
Here is an absolutely wonderful youtube of Sarah.
I think it should be played everytime she makes an appearance!
That was great, thanks. Loved the picture of Soros.
