The Most Embarrassing Thing I've Ever Read

There's water-carrying and then there's water-carrying. Here's Rich Lowry of the National Review slobbering over Sarah Palin:

Projecting through the Screen
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.

Say what you want about Rush Limbaugh, but I've never heard Limbaugh sink nearly this low.
