Boris:

Are Sally Quinn and Soledad O’Brien MSM enough for you? They’re hardly obscure bloggers, you know:

From “The Anchoress”:

12:31 Sally Quinn, an expert on all things religious, as evidenced by her insistence that she was correct and respectful when she (non-Catholic) received communion at Tim Russert’s funeral, tells Soledad O’ Brien (paraphrased) “we sophisticated beltway women can have careers and children, but Palin is white trash with FIVE kids (!) and one of them is “severely disabled” (likely she knows no one with Down Syndrome) and her pregnant daughter is ‘also a child’” (direct quote! Wait! Isn’t she ‘a mature woman capable of making her own choices about abortion and sex’? suddenly she’s a 12 year old?) She and Soledad display ignorance and bigotry and they shame themselves as they coze together describing how “how we live does not work for Evangelical women” (of whom they know many, I’m sure) who are – of course – the wrong sorts of women, and really, hardly even women at all! To these elitists, the husband is irrelevant. Family support is irrelevant. Palin must be demonized, even if it demonizes millions of women. I ask it again: Where is that “advocate and champion for women and children”, Hillary Rodham Clinton? Also, Hillary Clinton had “help” raising her ONE child. Why shouldn’t Sarah have some for her “five children…one with special needs and the 17 year old is a child, too” (direct quote again.)
