"We, as supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton, are alarmed by the vile denigration of Sarah Palin and her family by unsavory elements of the media glitterati and the fringe left. These sensationalist bigots attack Gov. Palin's motherhood, insinuating that she cannot achieve what male Vice-Presidents have done for decades in balancing family life and executive duty. We wonder why this has never been asked of John McCain, father of seven; Barack Obama, father of two; nor of Joe Biden, who began his Senate career as a widowed father of two.
Sexism from the chattering classes diminishes Gov. Palin's successful gubernatorial experience, ignoring her credentials as an executive who managed a $10 billion budget and her record as a reformer who fought the good-ole- boys in her own party and won. We wonder where the outrage was when John Edwards – a one-term Senator with no foreign policy credentials or executive experience – ran for Vice- President and President. We wonder also why the media does not question the inexperienced Obama – who has spent his single Senate term running for President.
We stop our wondering when we note that Gov. Palin is a woman while these others are men.
