Snark City

UPDATE: Runner's World interview with pix.(the other interview today)***Dripping with snark, another hit piece on Sarah Palin. By Todd S. Purdum. A transplanted Midwesterner.

Quite an opener, how déclassé that people in the Midwest actually eat food. omg. Pork. You'd think these smug MSM beltway insiders would be more sensitive on the subject of bellying up to the trough, given so many of them somehow ended up working for the Obama administration--but you would be wrong.

Peddling this same old swill:
Whatever her political future, the emergence of Sarah Palin raises questions that will not soon go away. What does it say about the nature of modern American politics that a public official who often seems proud of what she does not know is not only accepted but applauded? What does her prominence say about the importance of having (or lacking) a record of achievement in public life?
Look, you simpering media types just pushed someone for president whose biggest achievement was writing 2 books about himself. (And it's working out so well now) Proud of what she does not know? How can anyone know that? All this recycled and prissy poison--Anna Nicole Smith?!-- emanating this time from Vanity Fair, illustrates what vicious little know-it-all windbags these guys really are. (Note the article on their homepage on how those genius Harvard financiers lost billions.)

If she's such a total rube no-hoper, why are they spending so much time on her? Perhaps we can cast our minds back to that oh so complimentary Newsweek article in 2007--before Gov. Sarah Palin became a threat.

P.S. Palin Says She Can Outrun Obama in Race
