Postmodern Conservatism: In A Person
David Benjamin:
There are no lies in Sarah's book; nor in
her life, nor in her heart. Utterances that seem untrue are not lies,
because Sarah believes them true. If she says one thing, then later
forgets what she said and says the opposite, Sarah Palin is neither
lying nor mistaken, nor forgetful, because at each moment, she
believes what she has said. And a minute later, she will believe
something else, if she says it. Whatever she says, if she says it,
will be true. But if it's not, so what? It's words, only words.
Sooner or later, words fail everyone. This goes double for Sarah and
her faithful. Sarah Palin is the voice - and the embodiment - of the
inarticulate.
