theatlantic:

The Tea Party Is Not Happy With Chicago’s Sarah Palin Sculpture

You’d think that folks who love both red meat and Sarah Palin would rally behind a sculpture devoted to both. But for some reason, the Tea Party is not happy with this BBQ smoker in the shape of the conservative firebrand’s freedom-filled noggin.

News organizations have been rooting and snuffling around the immense Palin head, titled “We’re Having a Tea Parody” (not “Pear-ody,” as reported elsewhere), ever since mixed-media artist J. Taylor Wallace debuted it in 2011 at a Memphis public-art show. The anthropomorphic cooker hit the news again last week, when Wallace fashioned a meal with it to celebrate the opening of a new sculpture garden in Chicago.

Andrew Sullivan, Sarah Palin

“I was at the gym when the news broke [that Sarah Palin wouldn’t be running for President]. And, of course, the news was juxtaposed by the untimely death of Steve Jobs. Leonard Cohen once said of America that it was “the cradle of the best and the worst”. Today, we lost one of the very best in American history, a reticent genius and entrepreneur, an inspiration for countless of us who has changed the very fabric of our lives. And we also saw the end of the road for one of the very worst: a nasty, callow, delusional, vicious know-nothing, brewed in resentment, and whose accomplishments could fit on a postage stamp.

It’s a fitting comparison: achievement versus resentment, creativity versus narcissism, hope versus fear. I know which one will get the bigger headlines tomorrow. And there is some comfort in knowing it will pain her.”

Rejoice! – Andrew Sullivan on Sarah Palin and Steve Jobs.

My god, I can’t believe I just typed those two names in the same sentence.
