Far from being a fresh voice, Governor Palin has shown herself to be nothing more than a mouthpiece for the tear-down tactics of George Bush and Karl Rove that John McCain has embraced as enthusiastically as the Bush-Rove policies.
Instead of reaching across party lines to team up with the Shia-Sunni Whisperer, Joe Lieberman, John McCain has instead opted for the Partisan-Parrot Palin.
And while they deploy this verbal shock and awe to fight a phony, trumped-up cultural war, they will not be greeted as either Liberators or Reformers by the American public. The scourges of economic woe, mortgage-lending collapse, energy deprivation, health care desperation and international instability are not tucked away in some remote cave, but rather are out in the open for all to see.
There's nothing clever about this Palin-Drone ticket: "You know, I did little for you, for little did I know you."
