It's really a shame that Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy hate small town America so much:
What's interesting about this is that Peggy Noonan was there as a Palin defender. Her column this morning said "[Sarah Palin] is a real and present danger to the American left, and to the Obama candidacy." This is, of course, how she retains her reputation around town: She plays a role on the TV shows and in her articles, then she offers up her actual opinion when the mic light flicks off. She's a conservative, of course, but she's not an idiot, she's not like those other conservatives, and she makes sure the rest of the chattering class knows it. Yet they call us the elitists!
