For those who haven't checked Matt Tiabbi's blog lately, he wrote a piece on Palin a while back, which isn't actually so much about Palin as it is about American voters. An excerpt:
"The great insight of the Palin VP choice is that huge chunks of American voters no longer even demand that their candidates actually have policy positions; they simply consume them as media entertainment, rooting for or against them according to the reflexive prejudices of their demographic, as they would for reality-show contestants or sitcom characters."

Looks like our man Tiabbi has picked up a thing or two from the Hunter S. School of Journalism. Except that he's quit smoking. It is once more time to hold huge chunks of American voters (and our country) in fear and loathing.
P.S. look who talk radio is blaming for the collapse of Wall Street (a recent article by Mike Davis - make sure to scroll down).
