The NY Times, which long ago surrendered what claim it had to being an objective newspaper, has reported that Gov. Palin gave jobs to friends and that her assistant chided an anti-Palin blogger. In the words of another Louie, he of Casablanca fame, I'm shocked, shocked! Whoever heard of a politician appointing friends and supporters to government jobs? Both Carter and the Clintons dragged their entourage of yokels with them to Washington. And where was the Times when the Clintons were not just attacking, but destroying, their critics? Harry Truman was commended, appropriately, for threatening to punch a critic who panned, appropriately, his daughter's singing. For another example of how Palinphobia is causing liberal elites to expose their true characters, read on.

University of Colorado Professor Julian Friedland unmasked the intellectual snobbery and condescenion of liberal elites in a Boulder Daily Camera guest commentary by informing us rubes that Palin's biggest weakness is not her inexperience, but, rather, that she is not an intellectual. You see, unlike What's-his-name, who went to Columbia and Harvard, she was graduated from (picture the smirk covered by 3 fingers on the lips) the University of Idaho.

So, he says, experience is irrelevant "if one doesn't consider the vision and wisdom that comes
(sic) from knowledge itself, i.e., of history, law, geography, philosophy, science, etc." Since the admonition to stop digging when you're already in a hole is not found in the classics, he continues his self-interment by asserting that, in spite of her "thin resume," she would still be an "acceptable candidate" if "she were known as a brilliant mind." You know, like Joe Biden.

This pompous bag of wind assumes the prerogative to judge someone elses knowledge and wisdom based on where she went to college and what degrees she has. The reason he does not realize how this article reveals his breathtaking arrogance is that most of the people in his world think the same way.

This is getting long, so I'll save the rest for later.
