Victor Davis Hanson counts the ways – this is the one I liked best:
Too Many Rug Rats
3) Smart women do not get pregnant when it is inconvenient, especially when it interferes with one’s cursus honorum. Palin foolishly had a baby as governor, and waddled around with it the entire time-with other snotty kids in tow (just like those trashy folk at the mall who pile out of the Tahoe, in the way just as you are parking your Volvo)! And worse, in the age of sonograms and abortion, she delivered a mentally-challenged child. And worse still, the mom of five encouraged her daughter to deliver an out-of-wedlock child. (Is it in Oklahoma or Arkansas where moms and daughters have children about the same time?) And which is worse, to have a kid at 17 or one after 40? And worse, worse yet, she does not support abortion! Here is Hell in Sarah Palin’s world: I am up for a promotion at CNN, foolishly become pregnant at 42, and discover “it” has chromosomal “issues”. Am I supposed to deliver this thing? I don’t think so (nor would my daughter, should she become pregnant by her boyfriend the summer before starting off at Vassar [all that SAT camp for nothing?]).
They hate her for what she is – which, by the way, is a woman. Sarah Palin is from top to bottom and all ’round the complete woman. And nothing ticks feminist “womyn” off more than a woman…especially one who actually does all the things feminists say that woman should do and does it with style. And nothing scares a metrosexual elitist more than a real woman, too. They know that Sarah Palin would be entirely unimpressed with whom they know, where they’ve been and what degrees they have…she’d want to know what they’ve done…actually done, as in make something happen or make something come in to being. Todd is more of a man than the top 100 MSM males…not because he’s smarter or better looking, but because he’s a man, plain and simple. Real women and real men get along together…and make the country work; and they are hated by the elites, because the elites are afraid of them.
Just imagine a President Palin – having a state barbecue on the 4th of July with the folks from Wasilla just crawling all over the place and not a drop of champagne or an ounce of unpronounceable food to be seen. Just imagine her being talked down to by some State Department pinhead, and then tell him, “well, that’s interesting, but we’re going to do the right thing, instead”. Just imagine her taking the budget apart right in front of the American people and like the practical wife and mother she is, showing what sorts of filth are hidden away. It’ll be wonderful – and it’ll be great if it is her, one day. But Palin or someone – as long as we can get a real man or a real woman in there.
