It’s almost as if being a condescending douchebag is a prerequisite for employment over there.
This afternoon, Sarah Palin tweeted about an upcoming appearance on “Hannity”:
Looking forward to being on @seanhannity tonight at 10pm EST to talk about Russia and Ukraine.

Palin, if you’ll recall, predicted back in 2008 that Putin might target Ukraine. Since then, she’s been proven right, of course. But that seems to be more than Salon writer Brian Beutler can handle. So, he’s opted for the totally original strategy of knee-jerk dismissal:
Sounds informative. RT @SarahPalinUSA Looking forward to being on @seanhannity tonight at 10pm EST to talk about Russia and Ukraine.

At least The New Republic admitted it had been wrong about Mitt Romney’s 2012 Russia remarks. Beutler likely wouldn’t be caught dead doing the same for Palin.
Oh well. In trying to make her look dumb, he’s only affirmed his own idiocy and lack of professionalism:

@seanhannity Yeah, @SarahPalinUSA could see Russia invading Ukraine from 2008. @brianbeutler's ilk couldn't conceive it in 2/2014.
