So What If She Called Him?

So apparently there is some big hoopla regarding a simple phone call between Sarah Palin and Senator-elect Scott Brown…

Sen.-elect Scott Brown is acknowledging receiving a phone call from Sarah Palin on election night less than a week after he denied any contact with the former GOP vice presidential contender.

In a Jan. 28 interview with the Associated Press, Brown said he didn’t know Palin, had never spoken with her and that she never reached out to him.

Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton told the news Web site Politico that Palin did speak with Brown on election night and congratulated him “on his most historic victory for not only Massachusetts but the nation.”

A Brown aide said the call from the former Republican presidential candidate “had completely slipped his mind,” and added that it was very nice of her to make the call.

So what if she called him? So what if he forgot she called? So what??? Are the Democrats so desperate to paint Scott Brown with the Sarah Palin brush that whether or not she called him–to congratulate him on his victory–is a big deal?
Chris Good at The Atlantic commented on this story.

A minor discrepancy, and the Associated Press lists Brown’s quote by itself, so it’s hard to tell how the conversation went up until that point; but, given Palin’s national prominence, and the fact that Democrats had sought to tie Brown to Palin during the election–national Democrats sent out press releases highlighting Brown’s praise for Palin and Palin’s praise for Brown, seeking to paint Brown as a Palin-style conservative, and Sen. John Kerry compared Brown’s more riled-up supporters to attendees of Palin’s rallies on the presidential campaign trail in ‘08–it’s also an interesting one.

Interesting, indeed. It seems clear the Democrats are hung up on trying to paint Scott Brown as a Sarah Palin conservative in order to cast an ugly shadow on Scott Brown. If they want so badly to connect the dots between Scott Brown and Sarah Palin, why is White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs suggesting that Scott Brown’s election was an expression of support for Obama?

Let’s look at this logically:
IF Sarah Palin = Scott Brown (as the Democrats have been to trying portray);
AND Scott Brown = Barack Obama (according to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs);
THEN Barack Obama = Sarah Palin

That’s transitive properties people.
