illogical polotics

Simon Maloy writes in his blog that Matthew Continetti’s attempt to justify Sarah Palin’s actions is a complete joke, pointing out the “illogic” of his arguments, even going so far as to use sarcasm in his final paragraph to show the complete absurdity of Palin’s whole political campaign. He does this by simply quoting Continetti, asking questions that go unanswered in his story and pointing out the catch-22 in his so called “illogic.” This blog was clearly intended for those who already believe that Palin is less than the best political figure out there as evidence by the clear mocking tone of the whole piece. But keeping that in mind, Maloy does make sense with his arguments, even if they are a bit on the cruel side. I would have to agree with the blog post because of the inconsistency of the article that he is critiquing. His main point is that Palin has been doing illogical things, quitting her job as governor, that he finds quite absurd, but he finds the explanations of those who support her, such as that quitting would allow her to settle her debts so she would seem like she could handle her job better, to be even more unbelievable. All in all Malory is clearly biased in his opinions of Palin and those who support her, he out rightly mocks her in every reference he makes to her or the article defending her. But whether his word is to be taken at face value or not is really only up to the credibility of those defending Palin.
