Rich Lowry’s Starbursts Burst Into Flames

I need some other Germanic language to describe this, because ‘Schadenfreude’ isn’t quite cutting it.

I think I have pretty well-established credentials when it comes to being charmed by Sarah Palin, but that statement, as a statement, was simply terrible. Rambling and not at all persuasive as an argument for her decision. More Gibson/Couric than GOP convention speech. She shouldn’t have said a thing without getting Matt Scully—or some similarly talented speechwriter—on the case first. As to how this decision plays out ultimately, we’ll see. There’s plenty of time if (as I assume) she wants to run in 2012, and she obviously has plenty of capital with Republicans. But not an auspicious start.

In other words, watching that speech was the equivalent of Rich seeing his naked grandmother play in a pile of dead puppies while chanting "Si, se puede."
