Siskind's rationale for supporting "brave" Sarah Palin is nothing more than backing the enemy of her nemesis, Barack Obama. It's the whole 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' mindset, which is a completely unsophisticated way of looking at the world.
Siskind's entire article comes off as sour grapes. Your candidate lost, P.U.M.A.s. It's time to move on.
I have had problems with PUMA's in general since I think it's identity politics at its worst. I also apparently have a problem with Amy Siskind because of this.
From her blog:
Until finally last week the blogosphere started to ask: Where's Hilary?
Please note that the Where's Hilary? is a hotlink TO HER OWN BLOG! I didn't think that was allowed...
@eadubbs: Where's Hillary? Is she coming out with a puzzle book? Hillary Clinton has only spent the last 6 months jetting all over the globe, trying to repair the damage done to our reputation by the previous administration. That's where.
If by "hiding" she means "placing in a prominent Cabinet position where she'll be representing U.S. interests in foreign policy" then yes, Siskind is completely correct! Hmm, maybe Siskind is in Bizarro World?
@medeasdragons: God, I know. I feel like I'm living in an alternate reality sometimes. I want to knock on people's heads and ask them if they're reasoning center is on or not.
Of course he's hiding Hilary! If he wasn't she would be doing a photoshoot in running shorts next to a draped American flag because that's what real female politicians do, right? They don't do, like, actual work do they?
