A clown short of a circus

Columnist Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey, writing for the Russian newspaper Pravda, delivered a scathing (but well earned) critique today about Sarah Palin:

"I have already called Sarah Palin a pith-headed bimbo from the back of beyond, in this column. I shall now go one step further. By attacking the democratically elected President of the United States of America at a sensitive time in her country's history, she shows the tact of a boorish drunkard bawling obscenities at a funeral.

If Sarah Palin is not some kind of a massive political joke in the USA, wheeled out to liven up the political scene from time to time with nonsensical and pastiche (one hopes) displays of sheer and utter ignorance, then it is worrying. It is even more so if anyone other than a manic depressive suffering from a chronic lack of lithium takes this ... female ... seriously.

Yowzer! Nothing like a well-aimed arrow hitting its target dead center. And yes, it actually gets better. Read the rest here.
