'IQ OF A CELERY STALK?' WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT ONE?
" Palin has complained vociferously about press treatment of her. I agree it has been abominable, the worst, the most biased, the meanest I’ve seen since Nixon. "
Really?
I've seen this before - this idea that Sarah Palin has gotten the worst treatment ever by the media. That nobody in American politics has ever gone through anything like what she's had to endure.
Does anyone remember a woman named Hillary Rodham Clinton? You might recall that as First Lady she was referred to Hillary "Rotten" Clinton, "Hitlery" Clinton and my personal fave, "Feminazi". This was done by the conservative media - magazines, blogs and thousands of right-wing talk shows - on a daily basis for 16 years straight. It didn't stop until they were afraid Obama would win the Democratic primary last year, at which point they pretended to respect Mrs Clinton.
Up until then it was common to suggest that Hillary was a frigid bitch who deserved to be cheated on because she was lousy in bed - and probably a lesbian. Again, this went on for 16 years.
Imagine if Laura Bush had spent her time as FLOTUS being dismissed as a Nazi lesbian bitch by virtually the entire left-wing media establishment! And what has Mrs Palin endured? One year of skeptical media coverage. And the same media that criticizes her does her the favor of pretending to believe that she's a credible presidential candidate. And they give her millions in free publicity and describe her as "formidable", and a "force of nature". Not too shabby. Better than being called a Nazi bitch. Her latest complaint? A photo that she posed for was on the cover of Newsweek. Cry me a river. She's on the cover of Newsweek. Waaah.
Just my 2 cents.
BTW - I say all of this as a person who strongly opposed Hillary and was glad that she lost last year.
