And Yet, Instapundit . . .

Insty links Pilon at Cato on the Barbour exit, and finishes with a rumination:

. . .when you have a system of government so demanding at top levels that few normal people care to participate in it, you will get few normal people at the top levels.

Two points:

When normal people, e.g. the Tea Partiers, do participate, the ruling class reviles them, and calls them everything but honest citizens.

When a normal person, e.g. Sarah Palin, does strive for the top level, she takes a non-stop napalm shower.

Forget these ruling class creeps. If Americans back down now, we can join with the invertebrate Left in feeling that we deserve what we get.

Update: linked by Don Surber, at some expense to the byline.
