The Big Big News About A Random GOP Fundraising Event

This Sarah Palin-Newt Gingrich dust-up over who gets to speak at some Republican fundraising dinner, and the fact that people aren't just talking about it but CONSUMED with it, shows you how Washington is wired for conservatives. Not one American gives a crap who speaks to a bunch of well-heeled conservatives at a dinner in DC, but the chattering class is all a-twitter. It may be a bit of fun to watch useless conservative muckety-mucks fight with one another, but it adds absolutely nothing to anyone's life.

Which of course is why Hardball led with it today. With Nixon's Jew counter Fred Malek as the main talking head. The junior high students in the Village media think that which Republican passed which note to which other Republican in the back of the class is the most fascinating thing ever. Good thing 6 million people haven't lost their jobs in the last 18 months or anything, because surely that would give them something else to talk about!
