Sarah, you’re no Hillary Clinton

“I know Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is a friend of mine. And Sarah, you’re no Hillary Clinton.”

The McCain adviser who leaked that Palin did not know that Africa was not a country comes out of the closet...

Reading the comments is spectacularly amusing. How did this country came to having an entire political party that viscerally resents intelligence?

The comments are nevertheless hilarious.

Quite simple, actually.

- Start with a bunch of people who think they know exactly what's wrong with the country and how to fix it. They (not incorrectly, in some sense) consider themselves very smart.
- They realize they can't sell their ideas to the electorate; need an ally.
- The ally happens to be the redneck country. Ok, so they play the redneck country. They are smart - will be able to play them forever.
- The rednecks get tired of being played and take over.
