Like water for stupid: the Sarah Palin fan tapes

This video will explain everything you need to know about Sarah Palin’s popularity. She is the undisputed queen of the stupid people. Watch (and cringe):

Wow. Kind of explains George W. Bush getting two terms, too …

Related: Palinites sowing the seeds of their own destruction. The upshot:

… the very things that liberal commentators ridicule her for – being inarticulate, unworldly, simplistic and hokey – are the very things that make her attractive to her base. Indeed, every time she is taunted she becomes more popular because it reaffirms the (not entirely mistaken) view that the deeply held values of a sizable section of the population are being disparaged.

… In her world, Ivy League is a slur; cities are not the “real America”; and those who know the price of arugula but cannot handle a rifle are not to be trusted. Palin is the antithesis of an aspirational figure. Her supporters love her not because they want to be like her, but because they already are like her. So for better and for worse, Palin is an entirely self-made – and, if her book is anything to go by, self-invented – personification of the kind of political animal Bush sought to both emulate and nurture. Bush was Palin-lite.

And there you go.
