My admiration for the many qualities of Gov. Sarah Palin has been taking a slow but steady erosion with every major pronouncement she makes on her Facebook and Twitter accounts. The latest, her uncalled for comments about the Bush family, is pretty low even for someone who is not 'blue blood'. In showing a Madame Defarge like envy and angst about those who are more privileged and better educated. Gov. Palin is simply playing a detestable game that used to be, until last year, the almost exclusive preserve of the Left: class warfare. The fact is that these supposedly out-of-touch Bushes have provided the country with a senator, two Presidents, and two governors....quite a record compared to the allegedly more down to earth Palins whose record is the mayoralty of Wasila and a 18 month governorship of the least populated state in the Union. Put bluntly, there is simply no contest between the Bushes and the Palins, for the service of the Bush family to this Republic-including in uniform under real fire-is entwined with the very history of America's moral and worldy greatness. In that history, so far, the Palins have been an important footnote....but a footnote still.
The Bush clan has class....something populist politicians like Jesse Jackson, Tom Tancredo, Sarah Palin, and Howard Dean can only despise with tell-tale envy.
