Sarah palin’s comments are more about defining the terms of the debate than offering advice. the statement is akin to asking a candidate”when did you stop beating your Wife?”. This question is not really a question at all. It defines the candidate as someone who beats their wife. That is its real purpose. Likewise what she has done here is to define joe Biden as an idiot. The question becomes “Joe Biden is a gaffe prone idiot, should he be replaced with Hillary”. Notice this author doesn’t even really defend Biden. Calls his mistakes refreshing. I saw where some Obama spokesperson called his phrasing”unfortunate”. No real defense against the idiot charge.
I agree, that was my take on it.
