Sarah Palin keeps collecting admirers. Her interview with ABC News Charles Gibson has added another legion, and that number is growing as the recognition spreads that the editing done to the interview was deeply deceptive of its overall impression --even stronger than what came through on the broadcast version--and that Gibson unfairly mangled a quote of hers. Media elites are clucking that Palin didn't instantly define the "Bush Doctrine" to the level of detail demanded by (their) judges, but another vast audience watched another attempt to diminish her and has responded with an even greater enthusiasm for the Alaska governor.This is a prime example of the feeling I have listening to right wing nuts: does he actually believe this nonsense? Or is he hoping that by sounding like he believes it, others will be convinced that it is a coherent and truthful viewpoint - and that it will then become true? And is that goal important for him...why?
For someone as high up in the wingnutosphere, is the fundamental motivation still Atrios's Law?
