George Will, Matt Labash, Joe Scarborough — they're all piling on Palin like there's nothing else they'd rather do, says Colbert King in the Washington Post. He tells us why:

I wouldn't want to see Sarah Palin anywhere near the White House, let alone in the Oval Office with a nuclear arsenal at her disposal. That's not a likely scenario anyway, given her low standing among independents and Democrats.

But the notion of a phalanx of conservative elites - Palin called them "blue bloods" - standing between her and the GOP nomination because they perceive her as inferior in intellect and social and political standing is pure snobbery.
