Go ahead, praise Palin to high heaven. Then sit down and think about her response to the whole trans-gender thing (by the way, what happened there?) and realize that you are effectively praising a woman who will gleefully and with relish burn you at the stake.
The GOP scuttlebut is right about one thing. You Ivy League types really are elitist assholes. Those of us with our "common" state university degrees will just keep on voting our principles, while you high and mighty types enjoy playing devil's advocate and showing how "enlightened" you are. Right up there with Germaine Greer, huh? The money that bought those Ivy League degrees will make sure that you're untouched no matter what happens to the rest of us.
Our hatred and recognition of an inherent anti-intellectualism combined with the temper of a badger on speed leads us poor public school types to dislike her, your innate "superiority" and condescension elicits sympathy for the poor feminist darling. I can almost wish that you got to live under her rule for a while.
