The GOP's cheerful viciousness

Yet again, the GOP launches brutal personality and cultural attacks on the Democratic candidate. Yet again, Democrats seem determined to allow it to do so.

    The mean, smart girl in high school

    Glenn is right in every point he made about Palin's snarky speech. By the way, she is still wearing the unflattering prom hairdo from the '70's. Around here they call it "church lady" hair - church ladies are not so vicious though.

    The Democrats need to remind the voters of the snotty, selfish smart girl in school who wouldn't ever help anyone else with their homework. ( You know... you had one in your class too!) The folks who vote Republicans now were the same ones that resented the uppity, know it all, Miss Perfect in high school. I know it's a stupid way to win an election - but we NEED to win this one!

    Obama shouldn't be the one to do it, though. He is the nice, popular guy from High School who always had time to talk to everyone. Biden and Clinton have to do it!
