Neophyte's Neocortex No-Brainer for Neocons

Another juicy quote from that Telegraph piece about Sarah Palin's education that I mentioned yesterday:

A former Republican White House official, who now works at the American Enterprise Institute, a bastion of Washington neoconservatism, admitted: "She's bright and she's a blank page. She's going places and it's worth going there with her."

Asked if he sees her as a "project", the former official said: "Your word, not mine, but I wouldn't disagree with the sentiment."

How come this isn't in the American press? Didn't these dudes give us the Iraq war?
