Totally backwards in blaming the politicians instead of the consumers/fans of this entertainment/sporting event. If politicians started following his logical rules, the first person who came along and started breaking them would bury everybody else, because the voters would feel alienated and betrayed by logical politicians. If, by magic, nobody in political life argued dishonestly, then the only politicians who reflected the beliefs and the emotions of the electorate would be politicians who were just as poorly informed and incompetent at logical thought as the voters. One thing hypocrisy and illogic buy us is politicians who are smarter and better-informed than the people who vote for them. Sarah Palin sticks out like a sore thumb precisely because she exemplifies the average voter instead of just pandering to them.
