Why We Love the Rude Pundit

Nothing to see here, move along

Because he writes stuff like this:

See, Sarah Palin is graded on the hot chick curve. Men wanna f%$# her and women with low self-esteem wanna be her, so whatever she does just affirms that she is hot and f%$#able and gets to travel. If she looked like Kay Bailey Hutchison, we wouldn't even be talking about her. Palin knows it. And she wields her sexuality like a distraction while she magically steals attention from those smarter than her.

It ain't just Palin. Let's face it: if Hillary Clinton had looked like Sarah Palin, she'd be president. And if Barack Obama had looked like Dennis Kucinich, he would not. But, Jesus, you could argue there was substance there. It's a sad fact of America in the 21st-century that shallowness is a quality and depth makes you an out-of-touch elitist.

He cuts to the core of the issue here: that there are an awful lot of people in the United States who think that the manner of selecting our leaders should involve no more intellectual rigor than selecting Miss Alaska (and by the way, she lost that one too).
