In a house editorial, THE Dallas Morning News politely tells Sarah Palin to stop lying a momentum shift has occurred.
Ms. Palin would be wise to quit trying to spin her way out of this mess. It would be far more plausible if she admitted error but said she and her husband acted out of fear – perhaps misplaced – for the family's safety. But to claim vindication when the report is actually fairly damning should give even McCain-Palin supporters pause.
Pause indeed, even at the DMN …
Even “crunchy con” (otherwise known as “granola for brains” Snooze assistant editorial page editor Rod Dreher is “getting tired of Palin:
As someone who initially loved the Sarah Palin pick, her degeneration into a jingo robot is sickening.
Rod, you’re still tire-swinging for the McCain-Palin ticket, though.
Although, he may be softening up on that, too:
Mind you, Barack Obama/s rhetoric is also about emotional manipulation of a different kind, but at least there’s policy substance behind the rhetoric. With Palin, it all seems to be about “vote for us if you love America, vote for them if you don’t.” If the GOP must lose in November, I hope it loses hard. We need to be slapped silly to come to our senses again.
Well, Rod, we’ll see what you Keven Ann Willey have to say on the op-ed page in the way of an endorsement.
