Bob Herbert on Palin’s Alternative Universe
Less than a month to go and the polls suggest the American people understand the stakes of this election. If you need any reminding, read Bob Herbert’s column today in the New York Times. Below is an excerpt:
But after Senator Biden suggested that John McCain’s answer to the nation’s energy problems was to “drill, drill, drill,” Ms. Palin promptly pointed out, as if scoring a point, that “the chant is ‘Drill, baby, drill!’ ”
How’s that for perspective? The credit markets are frozen. Our top general in Afghanistan is dialing 911. Americans are losing jobs by the scores of thousands. And Sarah Palin is making sure we know that the chant is “drill, baby, drill!” not “drill, drill, drill.”
