The Spy's David Bloviator speaks from the heart:

'SHE'S SOOO GOOD!'

Editors' Note: Long-time readers know that when it comes to astute political commentary, the cognoscenti turn from [Surely, to? – Ed.] The Greatest One-Man Political Team in American Journalism®, the Spy's very long time Washington pundit, David Bloviator.  Notwithstanding the snow that has brought Our Nation's Capital to a whining [Surely, screeching? – Ed.] halt, the indefatigable Mr. Bloviator managed to make his way to his favorite listening post: the National Press Club bar.

TMS: Mr. Bloviator, how good to see you again. What are those things on your feet?

You can't get more populist than the former Governor. 

DB:  Snowshoes, man. Do you know what it's like out there?  

TMS:  The sidewalks looked pretty clear to me. 

DB:  You can't be too careful. I had to walk all the way down Foxhall on these things, and when I got to Georgetown, I had to jump into a snowbank to avoid being hit by the 32 bus. Good thing I kept these trusty catgut snowshoes that Ted Stevens once gave me.  

TMS:  You know you don't have to wear them in here.  

DB:  I tell you what. How about you worry about getting me a double Chivas-rocks and I'll worry about my footwear?  

TMS:  Certainly.    

DB:  That's more like it. Good thing I laid in a case of this stuff before the storm hit.  

TMS:  I was wondering if we could talk about Sarah Palin. 

DB:  Nothing would please me more. I tell you I've seen a lot of politicians over the years and none of them has what she has.  

TMS:  C cups?  

DB:  Dammit man, you're missing the point. I'm talking about everything she's got and she's got 'em.  [Surely, it? – Ed.]  

TMS:  So you don't agree with those who find her lamentably unprepared and uninformed about important issues?  

DB:  She's got an undeniable populist appeal. And she speaks to the issues. Speaking of issues, how about you get me another double?

It's hard to impress the Spy's David Bloviator, but something or someone seems to have caught his eye. 

TMS:  Consider it done. But seriously what about Sarah Palin do you find so striking? Please keep in mind that we are a family newspaper.  

DB:  She really knows how to sell herself.  

TMS:  So do Kim Kardashian and Snooki. Do you think they have a future in politics?  

DB:  Who?       

TMS:  For that matter, every hooker knows how to sell herself.  What makes Sarah Palin so admirable?  

DB:  She offers common sense solutions to vexing public policy questions.  

TMS:  She does?  What are they? 

DB:  First, she stresses the importance of being a good mom.  

TMS:  You mean the kind of mom who fails to supervise her daughter's social life or to give her the information she needs so she doesn't end up a single mother at 18?  

DB:  She also touches on national security issues.  

TMS:  Like urging Israel to invade Iran?  

DB:  And she stresses the importance of popular conservative solutions to our nation's ills, like divine intervention.

TMS:  That's her solution to health care, global warming, and two wars – pray for help? 

DB:  The Tea Party crowd ate it up.  

TMS:  All 600 of them? The ones who think the President was born in Kenya?  

DB:  The Democrats need to take her appeal seriously.  

TMS:  How should they do that? By abandoning death panels? 

DB:  They need to stop acting like elitists.  

TMS:  You mean they need to stop pushing elitist policies such as health care for all, extended unemployment benefits, and tax cuts directed at the working class? 

DB:  The American people are not looking for class and brains.  

TMS:  Really? Then why do most Americans believe Sarah Palin is not qualified to be President? 

DB:  And you're not qualified to be a waiter. Get me another Chivas-rocks, and make it snappy. 

TMS:  Seriously, why is it that the people who are most victimized by large corporations and Republican economic policies are the most receptive to her message of enriching the rich and impoverishing the poor?  

DB:  She knows that liberal elites don't understand the concerns of average Americans. 

TMS:  Which are what exactly?  

DB:  They want a President who's like them.  

TMS:  I suppose she qualifies, except for the millions she's raking in from her attacks on liberal elites.  

DB:  I've heard these carping criticisms of Sarah Palin long enough, and you know what I have to say in response? Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa!  [That's enough Chivas. And enough Bloviator – Ed.]

Further Editors' Note:  After this interview went to press, the editors became aware that David Bloviator, possibly driven temporarily insane by either the snow or his passion for the vixen from Wasilla, cribbed most of his apercus from a recent Washington Post column by superannuated hack David Broder.
