Sympathy For She-Devil
Methinks #3 has a little crush.
Come on! Can't have a little fun at the Wasillabilly's expense? Where's your humanity, man? She has so earned this. Dems spend so much time on the receiving end of GOP-fueled media mockery that I can't imagine why anyone would begrudge us a little titter at the GOP it-grrrl getting roasted by GOP-fueled media mockery. Every revolution devours its own children.

While it's obvious that McCain should have never picked Palin and now she is being thrown under the bus by one wing of the Republican party for McCain's failures, she went along with the game, stared the cameras straight in the eye, and continued to speak lie after lie. Play with matches, and you get burned.
Besides, if she doesn't like going back to her old job, she has a solid future as a born-again Hooters waitress.
I'm not denying anyone their fun. And if that revolution wants to devour its children, then I'm not eating any.
Palin isn't my type, btw.
I'm with TMcD & Paul. I don't know whether the rumors are true, and I agree with Number3 that the perpetrators of them are not people who have earned any trust. But it is clear from the things that this woman actually did say in public that she is pretty darn ignorant.
But as a Democratic partisan I have to say that this GOP infighting is a pretty entertaining.
Any party that tried to foist this incurious, uneducated, parochial woman off as a potential president of the United States in case of a national crisis deserves whatever it gets.
You'd think they'd have learned something from how George W. Bush worked out. This woman was WORSE than Bush on all the personality traits that made Bush such a bad president.
It would also be sexist to let her off the hook. She gets no faux chivalric double standard. She went out there and chose to use some of the most demagogic language we've seen from someone on a presidential ticket. She challenged Obama's fitness despite being blatantly unfit herself. After she spoke, secret service threat levels always went up, way up. And now she thinks she can give us that cutesy wink and tell us it was all good, clean political fun, and we're supposed to say bygones? No thank you.
I'm also not ready to believe the fight is over just because we won an election. So, to lift from Tom Paine, while #3 mourns the plumage, I'll roast the dying bird.
