The Palin Delusion
Frum reads Continentti's Palin puff piece:
Palin supporters have constructed an alternative reality in which
their heroine is wildly cheered by the American yeomanry, and despised
only by a small coterie of sherry-drinking snobs. No contrary evidence,
no matter how overwhelming and uncontradicted, can alter this view: not
the collapse in Palin’s support in just 5 weeks in 2008, not the
statistical studies that show her as the only vice presidential nominee
in ticket to have hurt her ticket, not her rampant unpopularity with
American women, not her own flinching from a second encounter with the
Alaskan electorate.
In this regard, Continentti’s comparison of Palin to William Jennings Bryan begins to look not only apt, but ominous.
