Oh, he’s sorry about your healthcare all right… he’s umm, really sorry you’re upset, you know. As if he didn’t realize what was going to happen all along… he’s really, very sorry.
Sarah Palin does a fine job dealing with that nonsense, as well as providing us with a textbook example of how to deal with an obviously biased interviewer bent on ambush… a pleasure to watch, as always.
Welcome to the Watcher’s Council, a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the ‘sphere and the longest running group of its kind in existence. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council. Then we vote on the best two posts, with the results appearing on Friday.
Council News:
