Bait

Ta-Nehisi Coates, in a post titled "Elitism Bait":
The entire Sarah Palin pick comes down to one thing--the hope that George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, or (God forbid) Will.I.Am. will make a joke about moose-burgers. At that point, the McCain campaign will cut an ad which says They're laughing at you. Vote for McCain and you can show the world. You can show them all!
I think it's a great point. Let's show a bit of restraint, and not take the cheap-shot bait.

Let's focus rather on shit like Cindy McCain joining in on the current meme that Palin has foreign policy experience because Alaska is next to Russia.
