In Ten Years, This Will Still Be The Creepiest Commentary In Political History

Rich Lowry loses it on his laptop.

A very wise TV executive once told me that the key to TV is projecting through the screen. It's one of the keys to the success of, say, a Bill O'Reilly, who comes through the screen and grabs you by the throat. Palin too projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it.


Get a room, Rich.

Is this the guy who watches porn and thinks the actresses are looking at him, too?

(FWIW I had other things going on, but I didn't notice the winking at all. If you wanted to know what I did notice, audio of my radio appearance is here.)
