Those who celebrate Sarah Palin’s lack of knowledge as a form of “authenticity” superior to Barack Obama’s gloriously American mongrel ethnicity and self-made intellectuality are representatives of a long-standing American theme – the celebration of sameness, and mediocrity, in a country that has succeeded brilliantly because of its diversity and restlessly eccentric genius. Happily, it has almost always been a losing theme. And, indeed, in the truest sense, it can be called anti-American.
Newsweeks Joe Klein, letting us know that Sarah Palin is a stupid head and anyone that likes her over the *AHEM* “ethnic mongrel” Obama is simply anti-American. Way to go Joe you glorious moron.
