I’m not familiar with the Sun’s editorial lean, but is that last paragraph supposed to be sarcasm?
That last paragraph is excellent. If you cannot answer the question(s) given those axioms (Obama = intellectual, Palin = stupid) then it is time to question the axioms.
Even the most ardent Obamist must feel a slight uncertainty when reading those lines.
I think it was meant as an “IN YOUR FACE” to the commie-libs. The “cinderella” figure, the “idiot stepchild” sitting in a fishing camp in Alaska is not only living rent-free in their heads; but she is running them around in circles and tying them in knots without lifting a finger! I think it’s hillarious! Go Sarah!
It’s irony predicated on false suppositions.
The Sun has supported Governor Palin in the past.
