"Living in a small town and being able to field dress a moose does not make Palin a populist, no matter how much pundits want to pretend it does."Read more of Hightower's wisdom on Alternet at "Sarah Palin's Faux Populism."
It's a fact that faux populism is certainly Sarah's signature identity. What also a fact is how Sarah's been talking down to those of us who live, treasure or work for rural America. It's also outrageous -- What's turned out to be her assumption that we'll just all sit back and believe her no matter what she says. Does she think rural Americans can't read? or just that we're really, really gullible?
Over time, we'll share more examples of her less than factual nonsense, but for today, we're limiting ourselves to just one example, i.e., she started bragging in St.Paul and has not quit that she was "against that bridge to nowhere" when the reality is she was for the "bridge to nowhere" before she was against it.
