Liz Cheney and Sarah Palin: Republican Future?

I think George Wil was about to barf sitting next to Liz Cheney on This Week. He appeared to disagree with her on most points, and was visibly jumping out of his chair away from her at the end of the show.

Sarah Palin choice to work on Fox as a commentator is not surprising. Liz Cheney has given her glowing reviews and the two of them working together is likely.

Liz and Sarah are not Conservative.

Will they be successful? Americans like to be infuriated. Conservatives of the past are sober thinkers - stuffy, stuck in their ways, unwilling to change and boring. Conservatives are Darwinist, believing in the survival of the fittest. Neo-cons believe in right-moving change regardless of the impact on others. They like to shake things up, reckless and damaging.

And that's where we have our opportunities - in the dumb things that they will invariable say and do. They can have their future. Republican "polarization" is the best thing that happened to the Democrats.
