Your advice was worthwhile.
His point that you don’t have to be a Sarah fan to understand her popularity is certainly a fair statement.
And his disgust with and mocking of the elite media was very entertaining and a sound assessment.
The establishment loathes anyone who dares step outside what they define as “mainstream,” whether it be Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Duncan Hunter, or Mark Sanford. Some are just easier to ignore (or shut up) than others.
