The 'Right' To Govern

There I was, minding my own business, reading a Washington Post column about people's obsession with Sarah Palin, when it leaped out at me:

"...the right to govern."

Wow. Just....wow.

Sounds like the excuses made for slavery; it was argued that it was the "right" of the white people to tell non-white people what to do.

Richard Cohen's nonsensical scribblings have always been an entertainment for me.
