1. If a prominent liberal had called Palin "Dan Quayle with
mammaries" conservatives would pounce like hawks. Kuo's status as a
conservative somehow exempts him from this?
2. Perhaps I'm a bit touchy over this particular matter because
my expressions of concern over the McCain campaign's mishandling of
the situation subjected me to vilification.
3. The strain of the past few days -- the uproar over Palin's
selection, Obama holding
a steady lead in the polls -- is probably to account for all
this snappishness.
