I confess I don’t quite understand the depth of vitriol displayed by those suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome. The malice with which Sarah Palin is attacked is breathtaking in its scope…these C U Next Tuesday shirts are a prime example.
Does anyone remember…did Geraldine Ferraro have to put up with this bullshit? I recall she and her running mate Mondale labeled as “Fritz and Tits,” but always behind upraised palm, and never above a snickering whisper. Besides, everyone loves a rhyme.
Did anyone call Hillary a cunt while she was on the campaign trail? Unlikely, says I, lest ye be added to the body count. (Plus I think she has a <airquotes>laser</airquotes> where her left eye should be. Someone needs to check on that.)
What makes Palin more special than these two cankle-bearers, her predecessors in the jungle-carving way to the Big Chair?
I wish I knew. I go to work every day and bear witness to my employer’s increasingly vitriolic rants, all seemingly spurred on by Palin’s actual existence on this planet. Is it because she’s cute? Unapologetic about said cuteness? Young yet conservative, when today’s fashionable youth are decidedly left-leaning?
I support Palin, by the way, solely because she is NOT an old white man. Some might say the same case could be made for Obama. But that would only make me sock you in your eye.
