Zakaria on Palin
Fareed Zakaria is one of my favorite columnists. His specialty is global affairs and his analysis in recent years regarding Iraq, dealing with terrorism, and the conditions necessary for the spread of democracy have been excellent, IMO.
Zakaria doesn't normally focus so much on domestic politics and is generally regarded as a moderate. But he wrote a scathing article on Palin this week: http://www.newsweek.com/id/161204 Some excerpts: Quote:

As to his first point, how many politicians are not given a set of talking points that they repeat ad nauseum? Why is it different for Palin?
I just think it's hilarious that all these folks are incapable of hiding their liberal bias. They hate that Palin stole the spotlight - even for just a little bit - from their political savior. If the world ends and McCain is elected, I am going to just sit back and be entertained by the meltdown. It will be better than when the Repubs took control of Congress in '94.
