Tunku Varadarajan, normally a perceptive writer, fumbles in a recent Daily Beast article about Sarah Palin. The piece is an attempt to explain why Palin drives the left insane.

And not least, she’s beautiful, which always irritates journalists, who tend to be losers. Thus, both Barbara Bush and Frank Rich can’t stand her.
