I meant exactly what I said. From the beginning, this woman showed that she was not out to reason but to rant. Anyone who denies that Sarah Palin is beautiful has a serious perception problem. And I absolutely refuse to be sidetracked trying to correct her on facts when the problem is not with the facts but with her attitude. My diagnosis is that she would never in a million years be convinced that there is anything to be said for Sarah Palin, not if every last citizen of Alaska came and testified on her behalf upon oath. She more than wants, she needs, to believe that the governor of Alaska is a monster, and that for reasons that have nothing to do with Palin's performance in office. I went for the core, and as it happens I was immediately confirmed in my diagnosis.

Incidentally, I am not your or anyone's "sweetie", and I will thank you to avoid that term in the future. Unless, of course, your name happens to be Debbie Wallace.
