Let us take it in order. That Sarah Palin is beautiful is a fact. That she looks younger than her age, ditto (and is at the root of much of the patronization she has received). That she is a successful woman in her field is beyond argument - she rose from town councillor to state governor in eighteen years, which qualifies as success by anyone's standards. That beauty is unfairly distributed is a fact - think of all the wonderful ugly people out there. As for the statement that pro-aborts hate SArah Palin because of her testimony to their lies, that does not even bear on her at all, any more than the invention of a fabulous FPB who has nothing whatever to do with the person writing this has to do with me. If I am idealizing anyone, I am reverse-idealizing - demonizing, that is - the abortionist forces. None of this idealizes Palin. Success does not imply moral virtue; in fact, it has been said that "God's opinion of money can be seen by the kind of people He gives it to". Beauty, likewise, is wholly unrelated to any personal merit. I have said elsewhere that I do regard her as honest - perhaps too honest for her own good (someone less honest would not have entered the lair of a rattlesnake like Couric). I did not say it here, and you are simply putting words in my mouth. Or else so completely and utterly in thrall to the media that you are incapable to see what is obvious. It comes to the same thing anyway.
