Sarah Palin accidentally identifies media bias.
by acro101
In a recent interview Sarah Palin says the following:

"I've been interested to see how Caroline Kennedy will be handled and if she will be handled with kid gloves or if she will be under such a microscope. ... It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out and I think that as we watch that we will perhaps be able to prove that there is a class issue here also that was such a factor in the scrutiny of my candidacy versus, say, the scrutiny of what her candidacy may be."

I couldn't agree more. But it's human nature for journalists to treat people who have some class differently than those that don't.

For more on the class issue, see the recent Bush/Obama issue over Blair House. The media is clearly biased against people who have no class. Shame on them.

Oh right.

Sarah Palin may be on to something. I think she and Caroline Kennedy are really just interchangeable, right?

I mean, they're both women.

No difference at all in their education and career paths. Certainly not. I think an Ivy League graduate degree and two books published on the topic of the 14th amendment is simply equal to, as in easily substituted, for ... um... winning a campaign as Mayor of Wasilla.

Yeah. And the fact that they have very different views on issues such as health care, the environment, judicial reform and oh...say abortion... doesn't mean we can't simply substitute one vagina for another.

And further beingVP with the oldest candidate on the planet as President is just exactly the same thing as being junior Senator from New York. End of story.

Right. I think Sarah is just one heckuvan awesome analyst. I look for her deep, thought-provoking analysis to be guiding us all in no time. Yessirree.

(Oh, as I recall it was the McCain/PALIN campaign that refused to allow the candidate to speak to any media until they could treat her "with respect." So, what's with the kid gloves crack? )

Ya'no, Sarah is the gift that keeps on giving. Anyone who truly believes she is capable of being a leader is either on crack, valiums, a drunk or a conservative. I am not sure which one is more dense, the cranked out tweeter or the Real American Conservative. I mean, this woman is dumber than a box of friggin rocks. I mean, a fucking retard.
