"I had a hand in creating Sarah, but in the end she blew me out of the water," Stein said, sounding more wearily ironic than bitter. "Sarah's on a mission, she's an opportunist."
You mean kinda like how Obama pushed his mentor Alice Palmer aside by getting her nominating signatures disqualified so he could take her State Senate seat?
Politicians are ambitious. I don't like Sarah Palin's behavior as described here, and I didn't like hearing about how Obama won his first elected office either, but you know what? They're both politicians, and this kind of thing is par for the course. Obama is, in my opinion, considerably less odious than Palin, but I'm not at all sure that Salon's new mission of publishing ridiculously one-sided and borderline sexist articles about Palin helps Obama's cause.
