Palin's ignorant rants, tweets and FB postings continue to garner the attention of the 'mainstream' media, Faux News as a credible opinion, everyone else as the intellectual equivalent of a Seth Rogan film. If it weren't so tragic, it would be comedic.The author in the article below makes an excellent point, while I certainly don't agree with anything Newt Gingrich has ever done/said, he is relatively intelligent and well spoken. The fact that he, amongst his other opportunistic cronies, even gives this the slightest attention further tips the weak Republican hand. Their strategy continues to be let the loony-bin far right Birthers/Death Panel-ers spew their ignorant tripe (i.e. Palin, Beck, Limbaugh) while more 'centrist' spokespeople like Gingrich and Bohner sound relatively sane...relatively. This has the effect of whipping up the ignorant masses, as seen in the town hall meetings, while trying to have some skin in the game. Unfortunately for them, they are holding offsuit 3-5 while the Obama administration has bullets...
