The Vichy Republicans: Striving for mediocrity ...

By Bernie Quigley - 03/02/10 06:55 AM ET

The New York Times’s venomous and possibly deranged Frank Rich, who associated Sarah Palin with terrorism in his Sunday column this week, borrows from his previous archrival George Will in the claim that the White She Devil is a critter from hell and anyway, she will never be elected.

While Letterman is suddenly hugging up to Mitt Romney as his alter ego in L.A., Jay Leno restarts again on a positive note with a visit by the White She Devil, the Wolf Girl Incarnate, the Slayer, the former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. But what is most telling comes up in Texas in the middle, where the Romney team, including Cheney, H.R. Bush, Boy George’s proxy Karen Hughes and Karl Rove, has lined up to take out Perry in his primary race against Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. White She Devil supports Perry.

Interesting that key liberal opinion makers Rich and Letterman seek and find traditional enemies Romney and Will to face down that force of nature which is Sarah Palin. No surprise, but troubling, as it was David Letterman who first institutionalized disgrace and slander and character assassination of the most odious and un-American and probably libelous sort in referring to the vice presidential candidate as “a slut” and suggesting her underage daughter was raped between innings at a baseball game. Romney and Will must recognize that they are understood and utilized here as expedients and weaklings willing to appease and be used by their extremist and very erratic liberal hosts as proxies in opposition to their own team; presumably their own kind. Like Leval and Petain. Call these now the Vichy Republicans.

Perry’s victory tomorrow will be overwhelming, with Gov. Palin’s endorsement, and Perry and Palin will bring a new face to American politics. In an innovative turn, Perry has refused endorsements of the mainstream newspapers, tools of tools like Will, Letterman and Rich, the mainstream mediocrity which is the two dominant parties and their fawning MSM acolytes, pulling out all the stakes now to defeat Perry and Palin.

But a harbinger of Democratic future is seen in the campaign video of Arkansas Lt. Gov. Bill Halter in his primary challenge against Sen. Blanche Lincoln. As images fade to black, it can’t go unnoticed that Halter exits scene getting into a pickup truck.
