"Palin is operating on a different plane, hovering higher than a mere celebrity, more buoyant than an average politician." Mark Halperin
Really? An unserious grifter is on a higher plane? Then operating on a higher plane is way, way, way overrated.
Seriously, elevating Palin with this kind of starburst talk is dangerous for America. She is utterly unqualified to hold any office or determine the direction of any policy. Yet by stroking her this way, the superficial nonsense trumps her lack of qualifications.
