Demagaga

Worth a read (thanks to Truthurts)...

Hitchens says Palin's actions are demagogy. I looked up this term and found that a demagogue (or, demagog) is "a person who tries to stir up the people by appeals to emotion, prejudice, etc. in order to win them over quickly and so gain power"
It seems to me that Sarah Palin, more aptly, is a "demagaga"
