    You lost me at Palin.

    I used to read Camille's column with great eagerness because I think she writes with intelligence and honesty.

    But she's lost me in the last few columns with her platitudes about Palin. It's like that part of her brain got hijacked by a right-wing terrorist group.

    Palin cannot put two sentences together that make sense. I am not an elitist snob, but someone who prefers to hear people -- especially one with a journalism degree -- be able to speak with syntax.

    Enough of your defense of this woman!
