Original article: Mean girl

A Female Robert Kennedy? Excellent!!!

Assuming your character assassination of Sarah Palin has any shred of truth to it whatsoever, then what you're basically saying is that Governor Palin is a female version of your all-time hero, the infamously ruthless Robert Kennedy. In other words, Palin is (in this sense) the spitting image of another of your heros, Hillary Clinton, who you would never dare refer to as a "mean girl", you sexist hypocrite. Thus the only real problem you have with Palin, which by the way you'll never admit to, is that she's not a Democrat. That's basically what all this comes down to. Because if she were a lefty like you, you'd be defending her up and down like nobody's business. As it happens, you libs don't deserve to have someone of her quality on your side of the political spectrum. I can only wish that Governor Palin proves to be half as tough and "mean" as you make her out to be. I hope this lovely baracuda ruthlessly kicks hell out of every stupid Democrat butt she encounters between now and 2016, starting with that clown Biden. I say long live America's Margaret Thatcher, God bless her. . . the real honest to goodness change that we've been waiting for . . . Sar-ah! Sar-ah! Sar-ah! Go get 'em, baby! We love you!
