I think I can understand English and understand the tone of Michelle Obama's remarks without Richard Cohen's glosses. Sarah Palin unqualified? What qualifies Obama to be president? Being a community organizer in Chicago? Voting present well over a hundred times in the Illinois senate because he didn't want to be on record on any controversial issue? Writing two books before he'd ever done anything substantive? What qualifies Richard Cohen to make these judgments anyway? Being on the Washington Post since 1968? That's almost a sure sign that he's too liberal to be believed and too parochial to know how narrow he is, trapped in the Washington D.C. unreality zone too long to be objective. He needs to make an Iditarod. It'd make a man of him.
