So Sara's at it again, bashing the godless mainstream media elites for not scrutinizing Caroline Kennedy as closely as Miss Alaska herself.

"It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out and I think that as we watch that we will perhaps be able to prove that there is a class issue here also that was such a factor in the scrutiny of my candidacy versus, say, the scrutiny of what her candidacy may be."

The implication of this rambling run-on, if I understand it correctly, is that the media ought to skewer Caroline like they did Sara, but they won't because Caroline's pedigreed.

 So, Sara, here's some scrutiny for you. Let's compare apples to apples.

Caroline Kennedy is an attorney with a law degree from Columbia.

Sara Palin is the governor of a po-dunk state with a bachelor's degree from a community college in journalism.

Caroline Kennedy, having obtained a degree in law from an ivy-league law school has demonstrated direct knowledge of the law, and is poised to enter the legislative branch of government. While still an august position, it is hardly the highest office in the land and doesn't warrant the same scrutiny as, say, President or VP. 

Sara Palin, though she aspired to the second highest office in the land, a cardiac arrhythmia away from the highest, at a time of national and international economic crisis and with two wars going, has failed to demonstrate an even cursory knowledge of basic civics, foreign affairs, geography, or even proper English sentence structure, much less law.

Now, I'm sure one could argue that education is, in fact, a class issue, but that would be getting off point. Wasilly-Sara is talking about media bias against what exactly? Is she positioning herself as lower-class? News flash, Sara: Not many lower-class people, win beauty pageants, become mayors, are appointed to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and then become governors and hire lobbyists. 

The only class issue here is that Caroline went to class, and Sara didn't.

In a recent WaPo article on the race for RNC Chairman: 

...Cathie Adams, an RNC member from Texas, said Duncan

is a "nice man," but should be replaced because "we lost, and

we lost pretty baldly."

 

Of course, the oddly chosen modifier "baldly" could be a typo and simply should have been "badly."

OR:

Perhaps she really did say "baldly." Maybe this is a sly reference to Mr. McCain who, in the presence of several shocked reporters, reportedly dropped the C-bomb on his wife after she commented on his thinning coiffure.

OR:

Perhaps she did say "badly" but Perry Bacon Jr, the author of this routine screed, inserted the offending letter "L" as a wry reference to the ever-emerging fact that the GOP is declining like so many of the pasty white, balding men who have been running it into the ground for years (like Rove).

OR:

Maybe it's just a reference to these unfortunate campaign stickers.
