I can't believe I haven't posted anything about Sarah Palin, since I think about her approximately 22 hours a day. Of course, I can't remember most of those ingeniously clever and biting insights right this second, so I will just share with you the few that are floating about at the top of my brain right now:
1. According to the NYT, the woman did not tell her own children or parents that she was pregnant with Trig until her third trimester, and even then she told her aides a week before she told her own kids, and then she didn't tell them he had Down Syndrome ever--Willow, the 14-year-old, noticed for herself after he was born. Who hides information like this from their own children? A crazy person, is who.
2. So far she is playing both sides of the woman angle to great effect--talking about her kids/PTA/hockey-mom self as though that qualifies her to be VP, and then also accusing anyone who criticizes her (and the media in general, because they might criticize her) of being sexist and/or mean for picking on her poor girlish self. This is a sticky minefield of quicksand for a man to wade into, so WHERE IS HILLARY to call her out on this crap? WHERE OH WHERE?
3. I had better donate some money to Obama now.
