Who's the Dumbest Pundit? The All-Sarah Palin Edition

Alaska's Republican philosopher was back on TV this weekend, and here's what she had to say. Sigh.


As tired as we are of Wasilla Spice being referred to as "the gift that keeps on giving," the fact remains that she is. And by "gift," we of course mean "Pat Buchanan without the grasp of the issues." (We didn't say "Pat Buchanan without a grasp of the issues and with a vagina," because we've long thought that Pat Buchanan actually does have a vagina, and that most of his rancor stems from his conflicted sense of self.) She'd lain somewhat low for a number of months, but then to everyone's delight she waded back up onto shore this weekend like an enormous irradiated movie monster to assault the airwaves of cable news with two high-profile appearances: the keynote address at the "National" "Tea Party" "Convention"—sorry, but every part of that needed sarcastic quotes—and an extended interview on Fox News Sunday.

Not surprisingly, in both appearances, Palin let loose with a barrage of zomgers, from mistruths to the word soup she's become so famous for. And, as such, we're giving her every slot on our Putrid Pundit panel of the week. Sorry, Monica Crowley—better luck next week!
