Sally Quinn and other elite hypocrites join the smear campaign against Palin

Well, well, well.

Sally Quinn's snobbery is beyond insulting.

Here we are at the place where I have to again paraphrase Orwell: "Everyone's created equal. It's just that some people are more equal than others."

Sally Quinn, the granddaughter of a signer on the Declaration of Independence, graduate of Smith College, married to Ben Bradlee, ex publisher of the Washington Post, reminds all the already guilt ridden women in America that Palin just doesn't pass Sally's muster. Who does Palin think she is working with all those children, especially the special needs one?

Sally's mad, she says, and insulted--mad that McCain would make such a calculating choice, cynical I think she called it, as choosing a woman to become Vice President. So, Obama's selecting Biden wasn't calculated, just a cover up for the foreign policy inadequacies of the Boy Wonder (who really doesn't have executive experience)?

While Sally, this married-to-get-where-she-is has been, rotates in and out of four or five mansions, I wonder if she for a second worries about the next payday. Probably not. She's more concerned about what the other elites are thinking and saying...not to mention getting that dinner party together for next weekend to they can all tsk tsk about how they're losing their country to the people.

More to the point, perhaps Sally should get a reality check and read up on the ascension of the newly widowed Katherine Graham, the woman with NO experience who took over the Washington Post when her husband died...before Bradlee got to it.

She might also want to research before she pronounces to the rest of us what is appropriate for young mothers. She after all, didn't have her only child until she was 41, a fact which could be construed by some as irresponsible, considering the high incidents of birth defects. I won't go any farther, but let's get real while we're throwing around the judgment.

Sally Quinn is enamored with her own east coast family and elitism, an unbecoming and transparent display of snobbery, to be of any help to the rest of America. On the contrary, Governor Palin has more demonstrated ability and results than Quinn could ever dream of producing. Palin was elected by the people, not self appointed. Elites like Quinn insist on forgetting that tackier, more pedestrian aspect of our democracy.

Sally Quinn, after all, is only a writer and not a very good one at that, who's shown herself to be an out of touch, miserable old hypocrite.

Thanks for the read.
