Media swipes at Sarah

Of course they continue. But I expect her support among voters, particular those in the heartland, will only grow. Who, after all, put the "death plan" dagger in Barry’s socialized medicine? This sort of misogyny, reported by the WaPo’s Howard Kurtz, already is becoming irrelevant:

"At the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Managing Editor Rod Boyce writes:

‘I must apologize to Mrs. Palin personally and on behalf of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner for the choice of words used on the bottom of Wednesday’s front page regarding her speaking engagement in Hong Kong this week to a group of global investors.

‘We used offensive language — ‘A broad in Asia’ — above a small photograph of the former governor to direct readers inside the newspaper to a full story of her Hong Kong appearance.

‘There can be no argument that our use of the word ‘broad’ is anything but offensive. To use this word to describe someone of the stature of the former governor — who is also the former vice presidential nominee of the Republican Party — only adds to the anger that many people appropriately feel.’

"How on earth did that get in the paper?"

Come now, Howard. You know how it got in. When newsrooms commonly mock Mrs. Palin, day in and day out, such headlines are considered cute. Everyone grins– even the feminists who should know better–and they let it slide. It’s symptomatic of the institution’s decline.

  1. I think I have an idea Ms Palin could use. As well as the current administration supporters call their opponets “racists”, Palinists could call the other side “male chauvinist pigs” or “sexists” or whatever suits in that vein.

  2. They generally are, but she and her surrogates generally haven’t made such a charge. I don’t know why. I don’t think it matters anymore.
