Dept. Of Odd Comparisons
To activist Republicans and conservatives, she is a heroine. She is Joan of Arc. ~Jay Nordlinger
These people are aware of how things worked out for Joan of Arc, aren’t they? It might be considered a tremendous compliment to be compared to such a martyr (even if it is a French one in this case), but I’m pretty sure that politicians do not aspire to being likened to those who were captured and burned at the stake by their enemies.
Perhaps, failing to do so subtly, Nordlinger wishes to persuade some passionate right-winger to burn, to stone, or otherwise to bring to an end Governor Palin’s life in order to inspire further the base who have latched on to her?
It is looking like Sully might have been right.
