No Palin Pity Party Here
I've been doing a good job avoiding the mainstream media lately, because I didn't know that "Everyone seems to be oozing sympathy for the fumbling vice-presidential nominee."
Salon's Rebecca Traister, who often gets on my last nerve, gets it totally right in her article The Sarah Palin pity party.

I agree with [the Atlantic Monthly's] Coates that the McCain camp was craven, sexist and disrespectful in its choice of Palin, but I don't agree that the Alaska governor was a passive victim of their Machiavellian plotting. A very successful woman, Palin has the wherewithal to move forward consciously. What she did was move forward thoughtlessly and overconfidently, without considering that her abilities or qualifications would ever be questioned.
