"Rushoscopy" would be the more fitting term to use, though, since wingers tend to use Rush Limbaugh, not palin, as a reliable barometer by which to separate the "rino traitors" from the "real conservatives."

You're missing the whole point! The article was meant to be ridiculous... it's more satiracal than literally worryful -- as I see it. It's ingenious too! Just look at your reaction (not that it's outrageous, or anything... but it's not "the same ol' tactics" -- I mean, it's an old tactic, but more effective than what you were insinuating!)
You can't actually think that him writing:

was a literal attack? It's all in good fun... with some hilarious truth rubbed in between the cracks a little.

Of course I didn't take him literally and recognized the obvious satire. They're antagonistic stupid questions designed to tickle the liberal bias, further divide, and insult. It's old hat and far from genius. It's a nonsensical article from an angry liberal lashing out over their losses in NJ and VA.

Ha! He's not lashing out... really! And he may be angry, but not in this article -- not like you think.
The right made a big deal out of an election -- that, sure... had a somewhat-kinda'-sorta' insight into how the country is viewing the president's role, thus far. But the point -- again, in my opinion (though, I do view it as pretty-obviously communicated) -- is that that doesn't make him uneasy. The satire was in his "anger", because he isn't angry... or worried.
And they're not "questions", they're stupid sure... but they're not literally questions. And YES, I sorta' agree... they are certainly of bias (not to engage, per se), and meant to insult! It's a part of politics, and I love it. It's on both sides, though, don't forget that emphatically-needed-for-justification, addition.
But hey? The both of our arguments? Let's not lead this too far, I take your point... and may disagree on some things, but I think you're sensible and should be able to judge this as you wish.

I've no plans of taking it any further. We'll simply disagree on the authors motivation and intent here. No big deal. Welcome to P.com

Actually Palin's policies as governor were hardly republican orthodoxy. She supported signficant federal transfer of wealth into her state, including campaigning for the bridge to nowhere in her election campaign. She signficantly increased the fees energy companies paid and transfered that income to Alaskans generally (that is you had to do nothing other than live in the state to get the money). Closer to socialism than conservatism. In general she seems to have taken no signficant policy position that supports private markets, as compared to her rhetoric once nominated for VP.
The right appears to have ignored her actual economic record in adapting her as a "true republican." Economically she has not been.

No, it's humor. Something conservatives seem to lack a sense of.

She was put on the ticket solely to pander to the religious right (sic).
While her economics are far from conservative, her social agenda can be said to be pegged hard right, right in among the religious right (sic).
