Wiener of the Week

Some weeks it's really hard to pick the WotW. There just isn't anything happening. Not this week. Between Congress trying to take over the financial industry, King George the Dim's failure to muster Team Elephant behind him in said takeover, Little Nancy Pelosi's simultaneous failure to muster takeover support from Team Donkey, and all of the partisan sniping over the past week, there have been wieners aplenty from which to choose.

But my pick is the so-called "conservative" commentariat. Honest to goodness, are they trying to throw the election to Team Donkey? First there was Peggy Noonan at the convention, caught on an open mic calling the Sarah Palin choice "bullshit". Now there's Kathleen Parker, who's decided that Sarah Palin isn't perfect enough for her. With friends like these...

What exactly is going on here? I'll tell you what's going on. Sarah Palin isn't part of "the club". She didn't pay her dues. She isn't part of Team Washington. For women like Noonan and Parker, that's inexcusable. They were just DYING to kill Palin. She's not worthy!

Honestly, the "conservative" commentariat has really lost a lot of my respect this year. They've really shown their true colors. Outside of Glenn Beck and Walter Williams, they've shown themselves to be front-running suck ups to the Team Elephant establishment. Even people I had tremendous respect for, like Dr. Thomas Sowell, have managed to rationalize supporting McCommie even though they know McCommie is poison.

So, for being both Team Elephant suck ups and for doing everything in their power to torpedo outsider Sarah Palin, the "conservative" commentariat is my Wiener of the Week.
