Speaking Truth to Power... about drink sizes?

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

And here's Sarah Palin at CPAC, demonstrating the childish reactionism that we've come to expect.

Bonus facts:
1) The NYC drink ban didn't include Big Gulps
2) It was struck down by a judge anyway
3) The lovely people of facebook have christened Sarah Palin as "Bible Spice"

It's no sillier than any other silly protests about Palin.

She's a demagogue in the most classic sense and an embarrassment to the GOP. If anything, her performances since 2008 have reinforced that the American public chose correctly. I remain puzzled at your fondness for such low-hanging fruit to represent your interests.

I haven't been fond of her for some time, but it doesn't make many of the attacks on her more reasonable. There's plenty of room for disagreement with Palin, I don't see why it requires nonsense to get there. That goes for most political figures, but Palin gets a lot more of the unhinged crazy toward her than most.

It's a simple principle called reciprocity.

You actually think Palin struck first?

The 'palling around with terrorists' comments mark that point.

True, false, or otherwise, that comment came pretty far after the unhinged attacks started on her.

Unhinged or otherwise, those attacks weren't coming from the Obama campaign. Palin's poor grasp of almost every topic save energy gave the press a field day.

She courted this one.

Doesn't sound like the best excuse.
