From the Washington Post, “Palin’s Pregnancy Problem” by Sally Quinn Behold the logical train wrecks and serial cheap-shots that ensue when big media types pretend to try to understand the Evangelical community:
I wouldn’t expect Quinn to know about the Biblical concept of “servant leadership” and how it means a lot more than the quote that she so jarringly wrenches out of context. (I didn’t understand it when I first reported on it in regards to Mike Huckabee. )Then again, perhaps Quinn is more astute than I was and does know about the concept and was just taking a disingenuous potshot. A further thought – is Quinn not a reporter? Al Mohler isn’t a particularly hard guy to get a hold of. I even had dinner with him once. A supremely decent individual, he didn’t strike me as the type who wants to keep women in perpetual servitude. If Quinn really wanted Mohler’s thoughts on the matter, she could have gotten him on the phone and asked him. But I would wager Quinn knew as well as I know that Mohler’s response wouldn’t have squared with her predetermined narrative. In other words, any such conversation would have inconveniently interfered with one of the most distasteful opinion columns to run in the Post in recent memory.
