Here come the attacks on Palin.

"My first reaction was shock. Then anger. John McCain chose a running mate simply because she is a woman and one who appealed to the Republican's conservative evangelical base. Now, with news that Palin's 17-year-old unmarried daughter is pregnant, McCain's pick may not even find support among "family values" voters."

The above quote came from Washington Post columnist Sally Quinn. Now, the first piece of discrediting evidence is the rag she writes for. The Washington Post would not even know where to find a "family values" voter, much less know what the real concerns of that group would be. Sally Quinn has proven herself to be an elitist from her first published column on, so if she was shocked, what was the reason for that reaction? I doubt it was her overriding concern for the welfare of a group she as denegrated since the days of Ronald Reagan. No, her shock was that McCain chose a running mate capable of beating Obama. Quinn and all of her elitist breathern, including the deaths head James Carvill, are desperatly trying to find something they can latch onto to tear Sarah Palin down. Mrs. Palin's greatest sin, according to Quinn et al is that she is the picture of normality. She cooks her family's meals, she changes diapers, she knows how to budget...and horrors of horrors, she has problems with her teenage daughter. If there is a parent out there that hasn't, nominate them for godhood...now.

I would wager that Sally Quinn wouldn't know what to do if she were given the job of running a middleclass family. Her first reaction on seeing the kitchen would be to call for the cook. Her next reaction would be to dissolve into a fit of anxeity when she discovered that SHE was the cook. It is very easy to write disparagingly about someone when you live in an ivory tower. Tell you what Sally, come on down to our world and try it for a while. Sarah lives here and she has succeeded, and you just can't handle that, can you?
