The Republican Elites--What They Say vs. What They Think

We've already seen what the GOP Illuminati really think about Palin...

And, though we know it's not what they've been saying, it's still enlightening to contrast the two directly. Whereas e.g. Nooners has proclaimed the Palin choice "bullshit" when off-camera, she's been writing just the opposite for the poor lackwits who actually listen to her, still spewing bullshit that she knows good and well is bullshit:

Because she jumbles up so many cultural categories, because she is a feminist not in the Yale Gender Studies sense but the How Do I Reload This Thang way, because she is a woman who in style, history, moxie and femininity is exactly like a normal American feminist and not an Abstract Theory feminist; because she wears makeup and heels and eats mooseburgers and is Alaska Tough, as Time magazine put it; because she is conservative, and pro-2nd Amendment and pro-life; and because conservatives can smell this sort of thing -- who is really one of them and who is not -- and will fight to the death for one of their beleaguered own; because of all of this she is a real and present danger to the American left, and to the Obama candidacy.

So remember: what they say is not what they think. Especially now, especially about this.

[Update: Magic Dolphin lady now says that she didn't say that the McCain campaign was over. That's not actually the most interesting bit, anyway. That would be the "bullshit" claim. I can't tell from the clip what she was really saying was "over," but when you can't tell, you should let the speaker clarify, so I'm willing to yield to Nooners on that point.]
