Lawrence O’Donnell’s Last Word dedicated a segment to understanding Sarah Palin and her “blood libel” claims in light of President Obama’s comments.
O’Donnell and his panel– David Frum and Mother Jones’ David Corn– took a bit of an issue with it. But for Frum, her comments weren’t offensive, they were proof Palin was eroding like a “big melting iceberg.”
Frum and Corn both agreed that the “blood libel” quote, which O’Donnell harped on repeatedly, was not the most offensive part of the speech for them, and Corn’s problem was that, in light of President Obama’s speech, was that Palin's speech was “petty, narcissistic, and ignorant,”
Frum merely viewed it as a failed attempt to prove her presidential mettle. “When you apply for a job, you should dress for the job you want,” Frum noted, “She dressed for the job she has.”
Rightardia agrees with Frum. Palin came across as angry and perplexed. Her cheerful personality was gone. She tried to talk down to her audience as if she were really the president. It didn't work.
But it isn’t merely that Frum thinks Palin did not come off as presidential; she came off even less presidential than she has in the past. Frum said:
She’s mad– that showed. She’s madder than she is sad. She’s very wounded by what has been done to her.
He explained, he found her sentiments inappropriate considering the gravity of the event she was discussing.
Frum used an apt metaphor for the Alaskan politician: “She’s like a big melting iceberg in warm water, and I think a big chunk of ice just slipped off the side.”
The Hillbilly Report thought the Palin speech and video were awful. The Hillbilly noticed the Teleprompter being reflected in Palin's glasses. See http://www.hillbillyreport.org/diary/2408/a-picture-is-worth-1000
