[Joe Bacon]

Sweet Jesus, this old fart has FINALLY gone off the deep end. Read the comments, they're a hoot!

1. Broder must be tone deaf.

[tularetom]

2. I had to read it twice to make sure it wasn't the Onion

No wonder people are predicting the Post won't outlast the moonie paper.

[ashling]

3. Long past time

to pitch Broder

[Raschel]

14. Yep, looks like the good ol' boys' days are coming to an end.

[peace frog]

4. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Broder's *senior moments* are getting more frequent than Gumpy ole Grampa McCain's. Put 'em both out to pasture for good.

[grytpype]

5. Check out the new Wappo poll, 71% think she is unqualified to be president

[ixion]

6. I don't hear the tone of populism, the pitch is a toxic mix of hatred, ignorance and delusion

but there's no REAL populism at all.

[Raschel]

15. Maybe he's hearing the dog whistle of racism and got the tone confused.

[Ganja Ninja]

7. It's the perfect combination of sing-songy screech and whine.

It's soothing effect like a metal fork scraping a ceramic plate.

[Raschel]

16. Think how that poor turkey felt when he had to hear Palin's voice in his last moments.

[Ganja Ninja]

18. Still, he'll never have to hear it again.

I almost envy him.

[Raschel]

20. !!!

:rofl:

8. I've said it before and I'll say it again

Welcome to the era of lowered expectations.

They ll keep on telling us this is as good as it gets - even as they nudge us ever closer to the complete idiocy of a captive populace.

As for me, my credulity was stretched to the breaking point a long time ago. Here's hoping, though hoping is the wrong word, that a similar breaking point occurs to the rest of Amerika.

More sooner than later, preferably.

:hippie:

9. Broder lost his mind and credibility

a while back. He should stop putting the contents of his Depends in a newspaper column. Palin is a nut and Broder is one of her enablers.

[TwilightGardener]

10. He's pulling a Camille Paglia--be one of the few "journalists" to have an open crush

on Palin, and get rewarded with controversy and more readership.

[Cirque du So-What]

11. Newspapers could save themselves a lot of money

by soliciting opinions from random assholes on the street, then paying proofreaders to clean up the syntax to make it comprehensible...but that's not part of the corporate media's agenda. For all Broder's years of journalism school and long, well-paid career, he's more out-of-touch than practically anyone on this board with how Americans are truly feeling. After making enough money to afford houses in the same tony suburbs & McMansions as the scumbags in power, successful opinion journalists have come to identify with the powerful scumbags - their neighbors - than with ordinary people. Of course, this works out well for the corporate media, who want RW propaganda foisted upon us all.

12. Broder being a RW Hack, likes the Dark Populism of the Right.

This is not classical populism. --which looks out for the
little guy.

[Zen Democrat]

13. Broder should be evaluated for dementia. He used to genuflect at the name of Kissinger.

He's always been a power junkie, and now he's just an old man who thinks he has the power to wag the dog from its penis. Dementia, I tell you.

[postulater]

17. Yup, she's the new Woody Guthrie all righty.

[Demeter]

19. Broder Never Looked Higher than Her Chest

and his ears are closed.
