Burn, Baby, Burn

Hey, just a quick one to note a great passage from a recent critique of Sarah Palin’s Book of Lies. This from uber-conservative Mary Matalin:
“Now, for a point of personal privilege. I have been and will continue to be an advocate of Sarah Palin and her principles. Had I been asked about how to use her publishing opportunity to maximum political benefit, I would have proffered to Palin the received wisdom of the unlikely duet of my mother and Lee Atwater: ‘Never burn bridges.’
“As campaign memoirs go, Going Rogue napalms bridges, incinerates detractors, hoses gas on what were smoldering embers. It is without refutation anywhere, even among rabid Palin haters, that she received political hazing of a magnitude previously unimaginable…. There was a way to defend her honor, make her case, pivot to the future while showcasing her moral foundation by doing unto others as she wished they had done unto her, so to speak.”
Truer political wisdom isn’t found on either side of the isle, but all I can say is, Sarah you slut, burn it all. The more damage you do to yourself, the better. And of course, it’s fun to watch!
