Wow, he actually DOES have a functioning brain cell.

John Mellencamp, that is:

Former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has found an admirer in John Mellencamp.
...Mellencamp says people get the wrong idea about her intellect "just because she says things and winks."

Wow. It says nothing good about people like Kathleen Parker and David Brooks that they continue to deride Sarah Palin as just a "stupid inbred snowbilly" when raving lefties like John Mellencamp are willing to give her credit for what she's doing. I guess it just goes to show how stupid living in those ivory towers can make a person.
