Gravitas vs. Palin

Frank Rich is in a panic - can anything stop Sarah Palin?
What might bring down other politicians only seems to make her stronger: the malapropisms and gaffes, the cut-and-run half-term governorship, family scandals, shameless lying and rapacious self-merchandising. In an angry time when America’s experts and elites all seem to have failed, her amateurism and liabilities are badges of honor. She has turned fallibility into a formula for success.
Professor Jacobson has the answer - gravitas ain't what it's cracked up to be.
And a commenter adds New Coke as a blunder brought to the public by experienced people with gravitas.
So all of you with gravitas and education - it's your fault Sarah Palin is doing so well. Your failure breeds her success.
We're speaking to you, President Obama. And your TSA friends, too.
