Defending Sarah Palin

I never thought I would be writing something in defense of Sarah Palin. But here I am defending her in the light of recent criticism.

“’She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone,’” said this McCain adviser.”

Excuse me, but how much more ‘mavericky’ can you get. And I am sorry, but how much more misogynistic can you get than 'diva'.

I do not agree with Ms. Palin on most issues. But I can not condone the rhetoric. Perhaps Sarah Palin is a self-serving, horrible person who cares little about the United States and should be sent to prison for the rest of her life. But I don’t think so. She is governor of Alaska, a large state with a small population. She was elected by popular vote. She is not the devil incarnate.

Sarah may be a ‘diva’, but what is the appropriate term to describe Barack, John or Joe. You think those men aren’t diva-ish in their own right? We don’t pay the president or vice-president enough for it to be a lucrative career move. Although the retirement plan is great, none of the current candidates really need the addition cash flow.

I am sorry to defend Sarah Palin, particularly from her own party, but you have to say wrong is wrong.
