If the Left were sober and inclined to take Sarah Palin seriously, they would be able to make devastating critiques of her track record. However, the leftist media has gotten so drunk on moonshine from the House of the Rising Sun that they go for knee-jerk reaction instead of cool commentary.

Sarah Palin’s “inexperience” will be perceived as a slam against rural voters, her “lack of credentials” will be perceived as a slam against public schools, and any implication that women who vote for her would have “the collective IQ of a Tampax” will be perceived as proof that feminist orthodoxy is every bit as misogynist as old-fashioned patriarchy. Attacking Sarah Palin is like stepping through a minefield; she can be defeated but it helps to know where the mines are buried before stepping in. That hasn’t kept the leftist press from stepping on one mine after another with reckless abandon.
