Snortin' Cokie

Via Digby, oh Lord:

Roberts, herself the daughter of two successful Democratic politicians, suggested, in fact, that the 44-year-old mother of five and unsuccessful Republican vice presidential candidate could be "the white Oprah" in the near future.

God forbid we go through our lives without a "White Oprah". What the fuck does that mean?

Digby, brilliantly (and from my standpoint enviously) coined the best phrase on this "The Great White (H)oprah".

As any NPR listener, or ABC News viewer knows there is no limit to Cokie's determination to poo-poo all this nonsense about Democrats winning elections and some conservatives being just too fucknuts to be responsible for their own errors...that trend is not being ended:

"The camera loves her," added Roberts. "She is very determined to get back to where she was."

A best-selling author, Emmy Award-winning journalist and regular commentator on ABC's "This Week," Roberts said Palin feels "she was vastly disserved by the McCain campaign and I agree with her."

Why thank you self-described oracle of Mt. Cokie. She wasn't disserved by her own ignorance or shop-a-holic tendencies, no it was all the fault of others. Just like the bank failures are not the fault of the bankers but of those greedy home buyers and the fault of the auto company's isn't the managers, but those greedy union workers.

God forbid those populous, ever suffering, ever at fault riff-raff ever get a chance to exercise political power over someone so born to the nobility of the establishment at Cokie Roberts.
