A tough job, no doubt. And your friends often hurt you worse than your enemies.
Ran across something at the library yesterday you would find interesting. There's this book "Going Rouge" with a big picture of Sarah Palin on the cover and "Sarah Palin" in big letters under the picture and I think "Holy crap they misspelled 'Rogue'". I even went to the librarian with it thinking maybe my bad spelling was catching up with me. She was as confused as I, we went on line looking for "Going Rogue" and sure enough, different publisher etc. On further review, the book in our hands was a collection of hit pieces on Sarah Palin. But in fact a reminder that the best reason to vote for Obama was that no matter how unready he was to be President putting Palin a 72 year old heartbeat away from the Presidency would have been a bad idea.
I do think most of the attacks on her were unprincipled, partisan and would have been exactly the same if she had a PhD in international relations as long as she was pro-Life and was even known to have ever gone to church, but that doesn't mean they weren't right.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
