For starters, Palin didn’t kill anybody.

Shields is just continuing the new journolista meme of the week that she's "unelectable".

There are at least a dozen articles posted with this new line in the last couple of days.

Mark “Maxi” Shields, you slobgobler... now you invoke the drunken, lascivious, murderous Ted Kennedy, whom you have at all times in the past revered, and try to smear Palin with his likeness... you're as foul as the air between filthy chair cushion and your ass. When in the past have you ever spoke of Chappaquiddick in any way that might be hurtful to the late Teddy's political aspirations... and now, NOW, you use it to try to smear Palin? Slobgobler!!

“For starters, Palin didn’t kill anybody.”

OTOH, I guess that means (1) Palin will run for the Senate and spend 30 years dominating it as the “lion of the Senate”; (2) that the old media will ignore everything she messes up or does wrong and will not show her in any of her more unflattering moments; (3) It’s a free pass to be a drunkard and serial adulterer should she ever choose to go that direction; and (4) As you point out, its a get-out-of-jail-free card for her.

What a deal!
