As an outsider (British), and as someone who disagrees with quite a lot of Sarah Palin’s views, I am disgusted to see the outright hatred and misogyny that has marked the liberal/democratic campaign.

As Gerard Baker, US correspondent for the London Times, puts it:

“[S]he has been the victim of one of the nastiest, most sustained and comprehensive slime-jobs ever performed by a hyper-partisan national and global media.”

Changing the subject, my smutty English mind is boggling at the idea of “riding the F train”. We don’t have trains like that in England.
