Dare to criticize Sarah Palin and you'll find yourself back in high school, with all the petty taunts.
"You're just jealous!" is the refrain filling my e-mail and voice mail in-boxes, and no doubt other female skeptics face a similar barrage. As if the presidency is about who has the hottest wardrobe, the best-coiffed hair and the attention of the hunky quarterback.
For men who question Palin's credentials, it's different.
They're just sexists.
Sorry, but neither jealousy nor sexism has anything to do with the well-founded doubts about the Republican Party's choice for vice president. Anybody who cares about the future of this country had better take a long, hard look at her qualifications.
A lot of us anticipate what's around the bend for Palin, our own Eliza Doolittle awaiting her grand remaking. Many of us have already observed this diversity game in the workplace.
Here's how it's played. A person is picked to fill a job they have not been groomed for, a position outside of their usual domain of expertise. They are heralded as the perfect person for the job, but in fact everyone knows the real reason their resume was lifted to the top of the stack is a qualification conferred upon them at birth.
Sometimes it's race; in Palin's case it's gender.
There is nothing wrong with combing the ranks more thoroughly to bring a greater diversity of gender, age and experience to the workplace. My career has benefited from such thinking.
But . . .

Sounds like 0be and his lack of ANY experience in implementing successful change.
Conspicuously missing is any explanation of exactly how Obama is qualified if Palin is not.
Undeniable Truths of Life #24: Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.
Or, as Lindsay Lohan (PhD??) would say, ‘Suck it!’
Mary Sanchez, fabulously unfit to get up in the morning and show her poisonous face.
The more they keep this up the more votes she gets.
Nasty Sanchez
Mary Sanchez, are you here legally or illegally?
I will say this about Obama - he's already shown he has the bona fides to be an Democratic ex-president - he's already shown a knack for undermining US foreign policy, just like Jimmah.
McClatchy newspaper publishing, Sac Bee, etc.
Left wing fishwrap and rags.
Nuff said.
“You’re just jealous!” ????
Howabout: “You’re just wrong!”
Obama did a tour of Germany and that gives him Foreign policy experience. What a joke!
Keep going, MSM. She’s only running for VP, shouldnt you be worrying about the top of the ticket? Oh.. Youre only doing your job, “vetting” the cnadidate? Way to go..Less than 50 days left, keep it up.
It appears this writer thinks she’s more qualified to be Vice President (and prospectively President) than Sarah Palin is, since she confidently solved all the complex and pressing problems she presented in just a few sentences.
Obviously a memo has gone out to the media’s Maidens of Molech, telling them to tone down their primal screams because they’re hurting the One’s poll numbers.
The radical leftist MSM will never admit to the greatness and strength of the McCain/Palin ticket. They cannot. Because their candidate represents a total socialist, anti-American disaster awaiting the opportunity to happen upon us. But that is the agenda of the socialist left.
Not only did the left pick the WRONG candidate, they did not have any respectable ones to pick from...even worse for them. The good news is that America is on to Obama, and how can they not see the rabid smear attacks on McCain and Palin?
Keep it up DemoRATS. America is watching and the polls say so.
It would be funny, if it wasn't so pitiful.
