It is amazing that tomatoes haven’t shown up at a Palin book tour venue before now. After all, in the history of politics, they are the dissenter’s weapon of choice.
Today, a 33-year-old man had nothing better to do than throw tomatoes at Sarah Palin from a balcony at the Mall of America. They missed Sarah but hit not one but two police officers. Instant justice!
Hasn’t the “perp” of this action seen the Google gallery of Sarah photos? One of her favorite colors is red. He should have done a little research; he should have considered eggplant or that wintertime favorite punishment, shredded wet lettuce. [WCCO.com]
With the tour going smoothly, this kind of incident is no big deal. The perp was not interviewed as a hero; Sarah was not interviewed for her reaction. Her poll numbers are rising; Obama’s are dropping like dung in the dark.
Time and circumstance are on Sarah’s side. And in a depression, it’s bad form to needlessly throw food around.
