Top Conservatives Have a Roundabout Way of Calling Sarah Palin a Moron

Jim Newell — Here's a brief history of Sarah Palin's relationship with the establishment Republican party and its supporters in the press: They sat on their hands after John McCain picked her as vice president because she was able to fire up a despondent base; they continued to sit on their hands in the two years leading up to the 2010 elections because Palin raised tons of money while mobilizing the Tea Party; and now that that's over, they don't want her to run for president because she's an embarrassment to the nation and clearly incapable of doing the job even if she were to somehow win, which she won't.

A Politico story today about top conservative commentators' problems with Palin includes many of these excuses.

Politico tells us that Palin's "flamboyant rhetoric" — the same sort of rhetoric that all conservative commentators and politicians stuffed their faces with during the first two years of Barack Obama's presidency, for the purpose of winning a midterm election — has been met with a "backlash... from some of the country's most influential conservative commentators and intellectuals." See that? After only three years, "the country's most influential conservative commentators and intellectuals" have finally noticed that dumb nonsensical lies come out of Sarah Palin's mouth every time she opens it.

But again, they can't just say this. It has to be translated into the strained freshman-seminar language of the country's most influential conservative commentators and intellectuals. A sampling: ....
