This column on why Sarah Palin is the "conservative of the year" is by Ann Coulter. It is an entire poem dedicated to someone regarded as the savior of conservatism in which not a single actual policy response to a single contemporary problem is discussed.

In Palin and Coulter, you have the two sides of contemporary conservatism: identity politics and malice. That's why they lost. They had nothing substantive to say.
