What do you mean "clouds judgement?"

She really should send a thank you to the left!

Actually she'd probably still be governor of Alaska.

Such mindless bumper sticker talk, and immature.
The Left does fear Palin, not as a potential candidate for president, but for what she represents. For years the Left cornered the public relations market on what an intelligent, strong, ambitious and successful woman should look and sound like. Think the cookie-cutter feminist. Then along comes Palin who is all of the above but who doesn't look and sound like the typical feminist. Palin threatens their brand and they'll have none of it. That is why the attacks on her have been so vicious and relentless. They need to destroy her. Remember: they did the same thing to Justice Clarence Thomas. It was unthinkable to them that the wrong kind of black man should ascend to the Supreme Court and they tried to destroy him, as well.

I didn't watch the Walters or Oprah interviews because I don't watch their shows, normally. Palin is doing enough appearances that she's bound to be interviewed on some show I watch. But, you know, I bought her book, so maybe I'll make up my own mind once I read it.

Purchased her book yesterday. I'll see what I think, for myself, as well.

Nice try but you're way off the mark. SP is good-looking and ambitious, and has a lot of energy, but she's not very intelligent, she's small-minded and ignorant, and her success is based on her star-power. I think the way her fans imagine her is the way they wish she were, but dont misrepresent her. Or them.

Clarence Thomas, it's not his race, it's his far-right ideology and the fact that he was nominated by GWB for the superficial reason that he happens to be black. And never mind the Anita Hill business.
