Suggesting that Palin is a naive cynic may be giving her too much credit, at least in terms of ideological consistency. Consider her interview with the Today Show in which she takes a situationist perspective and blames David Letterman for contributing to a culture that systematically downgrades the confidence of and disparages young women. Attribution works in mysterious ways, it seems, as our unhinged political figures attempt to make sense of the world.

I don’t care for Palin’s politics, but she’s on right side of the story here. The media and the snearing sushi-eating elitists initially blamed the shooting on the “situation” of a “climate of hate” and inferred that it was related to Palin or the immigration debate. Then the dispositionist truth came out that the killer was insane. Palin called out her slanderers. Instead of showing contrition they are frothing at the mouth and doubling down on their open contempt for blue collar whites and their symbolic representative.
