Andrew Sullivan: Palin Is “Playing Games” And “Doing Performance Art”
Frequent Sarah Palin critic and Senior Editor for The Atlantic, Andrew Sullivan, did not disappoint in his appearance on The Chris Matthews Show. In responding to Palin’s video response to the Arizona shooting, Sullivan dismissed Palin as a political “game-player” who should have realized that “I don’t think this was the week to play a game.”
Sullivan said Americans are sick of games in politics and was disgusted that Palin, in her video, was “playing games a la Karl Rove and doing performance art, which is what this was – about her, and actually applying the term ‘blood’ to herself as opposed to [the victims in Arizona]“. CNN Reporter Gloria Borger added that she spoke to many Republicans, all who agreed “this was not a good week for [Palin].”
Regardless of the political wisdom of Palin’s video, whether it truly was a political “game” or merely an attempt to emphatically defend herself from the malicious accusations against her, is a question that will likely continue to be debated. Well at least until Palin’s next public statement.
