Palin's Magical Mystery Tour

Somehow, I never disliked Sarah Palin the way so many people did. I liked that she was a woman. I liked that she was smart, independent, and a mom. I especially liked that her son was special needs.

Given the lambasting she has recieved in the media, since being John McCain's running mate, I have enjoyed watching the media all upset over her bus tour of America. Doug Powers over at MichelleMalkin.com has a great article on how Sarah Palin is aggravating the paparazzi reporters who are following her.

Newsbusters, sums up my feelings best though. Their article is called, "Liberal Commentator on Palin's Media Disdain."

Rush Limbaugh commented eloquently on June 3, 2011, when he said, " The media, for two years has been trying to Palinize Palin -- they've been trying to destroy her -- and what's happening here is she's turning the tables on them and she's Palinizing them, and the Republican Ruling Class is furious. The Republican Ruling Class is furious that Palin, going to all these states on her bus tour, is not coordinating with local Republican organizations, and there's saying, "This ain't cool! This is not cool, because if she turns out to be running she doesn't need to be making enemies out of all these people." But there's another way to look at that, and that is: She's not following a losing script.

It's fascinating to watch this Palin stuff. They hate her, they despise her, they are frustrated that they haven't destroyed her. They can't believe she's still smiling. They can't believe she's still drawing crowds. They can't believe that she's enjoying life. They can't believe her family is still together. They can't believe her husband hasn't walked out on her. They can't believe any of this. Folks, you know this as well as I do: When they set out to destroy you, they mean just that -- and Palin's not playing along with the script. She's not acting destroyed. She's not asking for forgiveness. She's not begging them to leave her alone. She's not changing in order to make them lighten up or anything. She's just looking at 'em and smiling."

Mark Levin also supports her against criticisms against the likes of Charles Krauthammer in this article from Hot Air.

Sometimes it seems like a pathological illness to find fault with Sarah Palin. She seems more the symbol of hope than anyone for years. Because she has been savaged by so many people and come out of it like a phoenix rising from the ashes. This Palin derangement feels like a close cousin to Bush derangement syndrome. I mean, Obama has been given so many passes when he moves us closer to another depression,, distorts his past, seems distracted by the demands of his job, or just seems overwhelmed by it. I don't know if Palin will run. I voted for her more than McCain last election. I hope she does run.
