A fun way to read Aaron Sorkin’s HuffPo evisceration of Sarah Palin’s televised caribou evisceration is to imagine Sorkin delivering it to her across the table in a dimly lit restaurant at the end of a date gone terribly wrong. Then cut to Sarah at home, sitting at a computer, alternating furious keystrokes with angry sips from a bottle of Moosehead, building the greatest presidential campaign website the world has ever seen. And as the camera pulls out through the window, we see a grease-pencil-scrawled equation, elegant in its simplicity, that comes into focus only as we gain some distance from it: SP + AS = 4 EVER.
