As far as we know, Sarah Palin is not drunk.

This is the first paragraph of an article in the Opinions section of the Washington Post:

Try this on for size: Palinism. What is it? It is an updated version of McCarthyism, which takes its name from the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy, the Wisconsin liar, demagogue and drunk, and means, according to Wikipedia, "reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, as well as demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries." As far as we know, Sarah Palin is not a drunk.

I cannot stop laughing at the last sentence.

is it bad that her attempts to fuel hatred for the people issues I identify with make me just as angry at her side of the issues? Maybe it isn't anger, just despair?
