Andrew Sullivan: Palin Is “Playing Games” And “Doing Performance Art”
by Matt Schneider | 12:23 pm, January 16th, 2011
Frequent Sarah Palin critic and Senior Editor for The Atlantic, Andrew Sullivan, did not disappoint in his appearance on The Chris Matthews Show. In responding to Palin’s video response to the Arizona shooting, Sullivan dismissed Palin as a political “game-player” who should have realized that “I don’t think this was the week to play a game.”
Sullivan said Americans are sick of games in politics and was disgusted that Palin, in her video, was “playing games a la Karl Rove and doing performance art, which is what this was – about her, and actually applying the term ‘blood’ to herself as opposed to [the victims in Arizona]“. CNN Reporter Gloria Borger added that she spoke to many Republicans, all who agreed “this was not a good week for [Palin].”
Regardless of the political wisdom of Palin’s video, whether it truly was a political “game” or merely an attempt to emphatically defend herself from the malicious accusations against her, is a question that will likely continue to be debated. Well at least until Palin’s next public statement.

And, you have AIDS, Andrew.
I don’t know the condition of Andrew’s BRAIN and what may be damaging it, but his INTELLECT is rotted out by sodomy.
This from the guy who is obsessed over her toddler son Trigg.
The Man-child-in-chief is THE expert in that arena.
No, we ended up in this mess because of liberalism.
Games are played on both sides, but only one side can openly state its principles and its intentions.
If the leading progressives were to come out and declare, in a way that actually got through to the public: “Our founding belief is that the government has the authority to give and to take away human rights,” the Democratic party would sink like a rock, and never come up again.

If one of Gov. Palin’s supporters had been responsible for the shooting, she still wouldn’t be responsible unless she had told her supporters to shoot someone. Is President Obama willing to take responsibility for the actions of every one of his supporters? When a politician steps forward and takes part in a campaign they don’t agree to take civil, legal or political responsibility for every person who votes for them or buys their book, or watches them on TV. To think that they do, is insanity.
“Andrew Sullivan, a poofter with about as much relevance as a plankton in the Gulf of Mexico.”
