Yikes. That vein on her forehead is scary, too.

In 2008, after Sarah Palin was selected as the U.S. Republican party’s Vice-Presidential candidate, Mallick, among other things, labelled Palin as “white trash” and an “Alaskan hillbilly” and likened her to a “toned-down ... porn actress” in a column for the CBC.
An investigation by the CBC ombudsman found that “many of her most savage assertions lack a basis in fact”, and that her aspersions on the sexual inadequacy of Republican men “would easily be seen as, at best, puerile” if “applied to any other group”. The publisher of CBC news, John Cruickshank, apologized for publishing Mallick’s column, which he called “viciously personal, grossly hyperbolic and intensely partisan”
