Running On Ice

Today in the New York Times, Maureen Dowd tries to relate to the natives in Wasilla, AK, carping stereotype and regurgitated trope that doesn't amount to much. But she does get a great money quote:

R. D. Levno, a retired school principal, flew in from Fairbanks. “She’s a child, inexperienced and simplistic,” she said of Sarah.

“It’s taking us back to junior high school. She’s one of the popular girls, but one of the mean girls.

She is seductive, but she is invented.”
