I’m a big Palin supporter, and I believe she does have Rebecca Mansour on staff for some of her writing—which is good and appropriate and the standard for pols writing such pieces and giving major speeches. Anyone who has followed Palin knows already that she has a steel-trap mind of her own, with a rare talent for getting to and grasping the core of an issue almost immediately. Further, she has a rare ability to boil it down and communicate it such that the common person can immediately grasp it as well. Those are just two bits to her extraordinary political talent IMO.
Is it sexist that the question of a writer only seems to come up with Palin? Yeah, probably.
That companies are pressured to pay protection money to both parties, weighted in difference by who’s in power, is not news—but it is an important piece in understanding our corrupt system.
My personal experience is that the Sarah detractors in the GOP tend to be overweight women.
It’s shameful that they would disparage our brightest hope for America such a lowly reason!
