A party of cads

The trashing of Sarah Palin continues. Embittered McCain operatives tell any preposterous lie about her, and the media happily report it as "news." Mr. McCain remains silent while his thugs mug her in an alley. What a noble fellow! Not only are reason and principle extinct among Republicans, but so are gallantry, courtesy, and chivalry. How long will this vile spectacle continue? To her credit, Governor Palin is fighting back (but alone since no Republican "leader" will stand with her). I thought she was ill-qualified for the federal executive, but she didn't doom the Republicans; John McCain, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, et. al. doomed their party by their wicked wars, their lying, their reckless disregard of the Constitution, and their fiscal madness. Sarah Palin is showing that she's more of a man than all these wimps strung together. She's tough and resilient. I like that, and I'm starting to like her.
