Richard Cohen, Ethicist and Philosopher

Published



Having spent ten days mostly out of news range, I missed watching as it happened the fabulous Sarah Palin takedown of the Obamacare “death panels.” But am now all caught up, thanks to Richard Cohen’s column of today attacking her.

Mrs. Palin needs no defending by me-she’s got more than smarts and guts enough to take on the 98-ounce weakling that is Mr. Cohen’s mind. And in general the piece showcases his usual sneering rediscovery of the wheel-“aha! I have thought up something almost original: I’ll compare a conservative to Joseph McCarthy!”
