Weighing in on the political significance of former vice presidential candidates who lie in public, stir up confusion, embrace their head-spinning ignorance and do so in Jesus' name, Wilson bestows his confirmation of significance on Sarah Palin:
(Blog and Mablog, August 14, 2009) "My point is that Sarah Palin is important. She doesn't need to "read some books," or "go home and study" in order to become important. She is already there; she is already in a position of influence and leadership, and that fact can either be acknowledged or ignored."
Duly acknowledged. Even by me. Sarah Palin IS important. She IS a cultural and political phenomenon. She probably WILL stay ignorant, and blissfully and bombastically so. Wilson and I agree -- She IS a force to be reckoned with, in command of the hearts and minds of millions of conservative Christians around the country.
And THAT is a tragedy that speaks almost as badly of our country as it does of the depth of faith of those hearts, all a-flutter, and those minds so happily, eagerly befuddled, when Sarah smiles pretty and says "Jesus!"
