Is it because she's "stupid"? Hardly. She's obviously not stupid at all. You cannot be Governor of a State or be chosen as a VP running mate and be "stupid".So let's have a funeral for that right now. And not reading Alinsky doesn't make you a lesser being, au contraire.
Is it because she's "pretty", as some have suggested? Nope. There are plenty of pretty politicians who are not roundly despised although they are entirely on the left. But, not even Michelle Bachmann has not received the scorn Palin has.
Here's my take. Sarah Palin makes all the women who went to public colleges and feel sorry for themselves because of their "lack of a priveleged pedigree" feel bad about themselves. If Sarah Palin could graduate from University of Idaho and could jump around from several other schools before graduating and then accomplish quite a bit while juggling a family of 4-5, then where is our excuse? We can't say our lack of Ivy League credentials is a barrier anymore, can we? We can't say that our kids prevent our achievement, hmm? We have to try to knock her down and belittle her to save our self-esteem?
Yepper. If Sarah Palin can work that hard while taking care of all those kids and staying married, why haven't we done more with our lives? She sorta, kinda makes people feel like slackers. And that includes the "priveleged" women who have the letters after their names but not the letters Gov. or Mrs.
So here is Palin standing up for the principles of hard work and accomplishment in a field of females who are screaming about "glass ceilings" and equal pay for "pink collar" jobs. And women choose to smash down someone who has lived their dream as much because she has an average pedigree as because she is conservative.
Makes the Maximalist want to puke.
Ronald Reagan went to Eureka College.
He was "stupid" too.
Bush and Obama both went to Ivy League schools, maybe it's not such an absolute qualification?
