I agree with what John says. Really, the overwhelming majority of the people who are criticizing her belong in a very narrow group. She’s incredibly normal; the average American finds absolutely no problem with her. For most Americans who don’t have an axe to grind, we look at that and go “what’s the big deal?”

It’s not that everything she does opens her to legit criticism…its that the left, who can’t conceive of any woman that doesn’t tow the party line (on abortion, just to pick one example), twists everything into a criticism, a “whatever-gate” (troopergate, turkeygate, wearingwhiteafterlabordaygate).

Just think; folks in this group criticized her for *wearing white*–it was supposedly racist. This should be a red flag to anyone that perhaps they aren’t the most neutral.

The “thing” about Sarah Palin is that just about everything she does opens her to criticism. Just being in the public eye opens one to criticism.

That’s the “thing”.

I agree that it wasn’t the smartest thing to do…it opened her to criticism that could be avoided. However, my point is that certain people get in such a tizzy over small things with her. Methinks they protest too much.

So turkeys are being killed…big deal.
