Meanwhile, Sarah Palin is Susan Alexander…

Amusing comment left on this post that dared to observe that Sarah Palin’s interview with Katie Couric was less than wholly impressive:

what do you know. english marxist hates palin. she did better than biden.

Well, it’s a point of view. What’s more interesting is the question why Palin has been so poor. The easy answer, of course, is that she’s just not up to it and certainly that’s the obvious, immediate impression one gets from her Couric interview. So much so, in fact, that one can’t help but feel rather sorry for her. Yet my sense is that, while she’s clearly no foreign policy maven, she’s dramatically under-performed the (quite low) expectations even folk predisposed to give her a chance were prepared to grant. She isn’t usually – or, if you prefer, necessarily – a babbling, incoherent wreck.
