I agree with you that CK is a very bright man, but I also think his thinking is incorrigably polluted by a slavish devotion to the club of entrenched RINOs. I think exactly the same about Rove. And commenting as he does/they do from that standpoint, he is a voice that IMO inflicts damage to the conservative cause. At some point one has to consider a very simple proposition: Are we better off if this person just keeps their freekin’ mouth shut? And my answer in the case of CK & Rove is: YES. Out of their job or ego requirements to say something, they create destruction. I don’t feel the same about Ed Schultz or Eugene Robinson or Larry McDonald; these are declared and overt flaming leftists whose opinions issue from vantage points everyone is aware of. I don’t feel the same about Meghan McCain or Rosy O’Donnell. Those two are just blithering idiots and all they do when they open their mouths is to prove it.
It is *exactly* my point that when someone apparently intelligent like CK opens his mouth out of the need to have something to say but without consideration of his media weight, that his intelligence is seriously called into question. We’d be noticeably better off without such sprinklings of his so-called “intelligence”.
Sarah Palin, assuming she runs for President, has a lot bigger worries than Krauthammer. There are a lot of major problems with Palin than those already committed to her as their choice want to admit. I’m not sure what damage was done by his comments. Sarah has all the big subjects right but let’s face it, she has yet to prove she can communicate or connect with those outside the conservative circle.
I think this position taken by most Palin supporters is getting a bit creepy. Ronald Reagan wasn’t this revered until he was out of politics for goodness sakes.
