    ‘Red State’ observations

    There’s an interesting post over at Red State Diaries.

    Yes, RSN is a partisan site. But it’s enlightening to hear two high-level Democratic officials—former national party chairman Don Fowler and U.S. Rep. John Spratt-- share their opinions on newly minted GOP VP pick Sarah Palin.

    According to the RSN observer, the two agreed that “Other than the simple fact that she’s a female,” Palin has nothing to offer.

    I might have missed it, but I haven’t heard any outrage from the National Organization for Women over this overtly sexist comment.

    The statement is even more notable because Fowler supported Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.

    Maybe it was just because she’s a woman.

    And there’s more.

    Listen to what Fowler has to say about Hurricane Gustav’s expected arrival in New Orleans on Monday—the same day the Republican National Convention begins in Minneapolis-St.Paul:

    Did you catch it?

    The timing of Gustav “just demonstrates God’s on our side,” Fowler says.

    Imagine for a moment that a Republican official had said that the flooding in Florida from Tropical Storm Fay, earlier this week during the Democratic National Convention, was an indication that “God’s on our side.”

    Yeah—Keith Olbermann would have been blubbering with sanctimonious outrage as he beat you over the head with it.

    Ah, the sweet smell of hypocrisy.
