Critical Thinking in the Real World 
I guess by now we know that it’s Palin Derangement Syndrome at work and nothing else. All a conservative woman needs to do is become nationally prominent and she can do no right in the eyes of liberals.
Cf. Kay Bailey Hutchison and Katherine Harris. They escaped the endless rounds of ad hominem attacks by going away. So far Palin has not gone away, and so the attacks have become ever more lunatic.
She, Michelle Maklin and Ann Coulter could form a sisterhood for mutual support. But it’s interesting that unlike so many liberals facing criticism, they don’t seem to require that.
