Not nuts yet

One of Andrew Sullivan's readers at The Atlantic penned this recent observation:

On Thanksgiving Day, the ONLY thing everyone agreed with is when my 80 year old feeble mother-in-law shouted, "Sarah Palin an idiot!" In a multi-generational gathering of 30 rural Ohio Republicans, Mom was almost applauded at the dinner table. From the men who were in the garage drinking beer and frying the turkey to the wives and girlfriends who were in the kitchen, Palin is over. I was surprised to see her lose this group of FNC viewers.

I'm not surprised at all. Until proven otherwise by Law & Order's Jack McCoy, I maintain most Americans, even Republicans, are still mostly sane.
