so the left blogosphere and even mainstream dems, and even the daily show, are truly in a froth of hostility about palin. and i think they'd better ask themselves why. it's not, i think, that she's a conservative republican. what the hell did you expect? it's every detail of her life, and it's quickly getting into obsessive mode. and here it is: every detail of her life reveals her class, reveals that *she's not the right kind of person.* i know this sounds nasty, but bristol is in there big time. our daughters always have abortions. we pressure them to have abortions. again: how are they going to have the full college experience? the baby at home cuts into your beer pong. the fear and loathing is almost preternatural. let me say: this is suicidal. every word confirms that "elitist" charge, which is, obviously, extremely well-founded. and every word is another bullet in your own foot. the only politically expedient choice is to say nice things quietly, let things go on, and take it from there. the backlash is going to be vicious, massive. and for the first time in american history (i think), the vice presidential candauidate will determine the outcome of a presidential election, and mccain will win. really, if y'all have any sense of self-preservation...

It didn't help that when she and Giuliani et al were mocking Obama, they sounded like snotty 5th graders. It was just juvenile. I don't like the Republicrats much to begin with, and her little speech/tirade made me like them even less.
