All Mookie has done is side step the real reason people show up to hear Palin speak. It is not for a comedy show or a good laugh to be sure. It is people of like minds who apparently are simple minded that know no better according to you. In short, we are still in the mist as to why people show up. You say simple people. Mookie says it is a comedy of errors. Is it really?

You get judged by the company you seek. If you seek the company of wolves, that probably is because you're wolf. If you seek the company of an idiot, it helps if you are an idiot yourself. If it walks like a duck, squawks like a duck and looks like a duck - it probably is a duck.

As you say so nicely in English: birds of same feather flock together. We have an eqivalent to that in German, but yours has the advantage of ryhmes.

A week ago, there was an essay in a German paper about the way those ten Russian spies hid in America by blending into it' s background, copying it's idols, using it's habits and adorable goals of it'S way of living for mimikry. That many of the characteristics of those spies - for example that good-looking woman who even took almost nude shots and behaved like a starlet or a glamour girl in order to blend into the cultural background of contemporary America - just served like a mirror in which America was to gaze at itself, was something that american media, as far as I have moinitored their coverage of the story, just missed completely.
