Is Sarah Palin the Weak, Insecure Candidate?
Strangely, this one comes from the self-described atheist A la Pundit:
I’m not sure whether to take this purely at face value or to admire it as a brilliant political calculation as well. There’s no doubt, given her background, that her faith’s helping her through this; I just wonder why she’s calling Rick Warren instead of her own pastor.
So. Palin calls Rick Warren for spiritual advice while her accidental supporters cheer her on as the courageous
As an atheist, A la fails to make an important point that any non-Believer would jump on: She’s Sarah Palin the Candidate right now, but will Sarah Palin the Vice President need the spiritual guidance of a pop pastor to face down strong personalities like Putin and Chavez, much less Pelosi and Reed.
I realize that seeking spiritual strength and relevant Bible verses is one thing, but having to ask about “deal[ing] with the unfair, unjust attacks and the mean-spirited criticism that comes in” reeks of weakness.
The correct answer: “Suck it the fuck up. Ignore them. You decided to lay your past, present, and future down for scrutiny and ridicule.”
