Submitted to a Candid World

From the Washington Times –

The former Republican vice-presidential nominee and heroine to much of the GOP’s base said in an interview she views the electorate as embattled and fatigued by nonstop partisanship, and she is eager to campaign for Republicans, independents and even Democrats who share her values on limited government, strong defense and “energy independence.” [. . .]

Both her son, Track, 20, an enlisted soldier serving in Iraq, and her husband, Todd, are registered as “nonpartisan” in Alaska.

Recall that, despite his history as a vocal Bush apologist, Glenn Beck has attempted to reinvent himself as something of an amateur historian, simply guarding the Founders’ legacy against the ceaseless incursions of socialism in its most dangerous form — national parks. Oddly, this image pattern is emerging as a new Republican archetype: the patriot who advocates for a hopelessly distorted & hyper-partisan version of American history under the guise of formal bipartisanship. Is this the image that Republican outlets like the Washington Times & Fox News are constructing for Palin?

We can only hope. I can’t imagine any faster track towards her irrelevance.
