I'm not a regular reader of Debbie Schlussel nor am I a fan (she seems a bit low class at times), so I just became aware of her criticism of Governor Palin.
If you scan the archives of her site debbieschlussel.com you will see that she was an early supporter of Sarah Palin. That makes her criticism all the more interesting.
Here are ten articles from Debbie's site. In the first one, she is still a Palin supporter, but also criticizes her for her choice of baby names. Beginning with the second article, she really begins to tear into her.

Sarah poses for a cover shot with two of her kids while she's running for VP and you have a problem with that?
What is your problem?
This stuff about palin’s family and what she does and doesn’t do is so wrong. Who are you to judge anyone, mister?
What about everyone else’s families. Obama’s got one, so does Mitt, so does McCain.
You are just pushing the fact that since the MSM are attacking Palin, it is okay to attack her too, or alternatively she she should behave herself and hide her children.
Who do you support again? Perhaps we can have a discussion about their family.
You can believe nothing is true if that is your wish. That’s what followers do.
No matter what Sarah claims, Todd isn’t taking care of the kids:
In 2007, in order to avoid a conflict of interest relating to his wife’s position as governor, he took a leave from his job as production supervisor when his employer became involved in natural gas pipeline negotiations with his wife’s administration. Seven months later, because the family needed more income, Todd returned to BP. In order to avoid potential conflict of interest, this time he accepted a non-management position as a production operator. He is also a commercial salmon fisherman at Bristol Bay on the Nushugak River. Financial statements filed in 2007 show that Palin earned $92,790 from BP and fishing.
“It is social conservatives that bother him.
Read his posting history and you will see him even trying to have entire threads pulled because he didn’t like the conservatives here at a social conservative site, posting on topics like the gay power agenda.”
Makes sense.
I’m not the one running for office as a social con.....
You nailed it.
In fact Palin has a large extended family. You do not know what you are talkng about. You are just projecting your ideas about how families should work and children are raised, nothing more.
Palin should be a stay at home mum?
Sorry, she has a nation to lead.
The woman stands on a campaign stage with a NOW nag and declares herself to be a Progressive...
Well, you won't be able to claim you weren't warned.
For the life of me, I can’t remember where Palin said part of her belief system is that children should be not seen nor heard.
You’re still using that one? LOL!
Like I said, a neglectful Feminist mother.
That “NOW nag” was supporting Palin, in defiance of NOW, and we were in an election, including the need to win women votes. Sure you support that?
Has Palin ever said she supports regressive ideals for women? She is just a different type of feminist, and I would say, yes, she is right, its a progression to what the current model is, and quite different.
Donna,
Normal people determine truth based on identifiable sources and the full context of any evidence presented from those sources.
That's what I do -- that's what you aren't doing.
You have yet to reasonably show evidence that contradicts the evidence that I supplied.
BTW, I don't "follow" any politican and I've yet to endorce anybody for 2012, so your above "that's what followers do" comment is -- stupid.
You like labels that mean nothing - feminists, progressives - as you purposefully misuse and/or manipulate the definition to argue. Just to argue. Labels are not belief systems, you need to grow up.
Debbie Schlussel is a wanna be oprah without the charisma.
If I wanna know what the morons are thinking I’ll give her a look.
Good insight, I agree
Schlussel doesn’t appear to be sane for that matter.
Me:Sarah poses for a cover shot with two of her kids while she's running for VP and you have a problem with that? What is your problem?
It appears that Rob has gone dormant.
The question remains for Rob: What exactly is your problem with Sarah and her pose for the People cover?
I'll even give you a pic...
So, are you a conservative?
You are quoting Debbie Schlussel, so are you a moron?
