People, for God’s sake leave the poor woman alone!  She was a VP candidate, normally worthy of about two seconds of scrutiny.  I would bet there are plenty of Americans who have no idea who Joe Biden is.  Palin was a VP candidate, and lost no less.

Look:  regardless of how you view her personally, politically, or whatever, she is a human being.  Trysaying that three times fast.  She is a human being.  I haven’t seen this big or this vicious a feeding frenzy in the media since… well, ever.  I don’t believe even the eternally despised Bush (the one responsible for every ill conceived of by the  human mind) was treated this badly.

A word to the wise to the Washington Press Corps and their Talking Head friends on the tube:  even the dullest Americans are beginning to catch on.  I am hearing from the most ordinary folks (most of whom you would not know on a bet) that “If the media hates this person, they must be pretty good.”  And, “If the media likes this person, we better watch out for them!”  I would strongly recommend backing off for a while.  Don’t think for a minute the viciousness won’t translate into votes, so for now, why don’t we all…chill.
