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.

The Palins' Phony "Pro-Abstinence" Message: Be a Baby Mama, Get on the Cover of People (& a Tacky 8-Page Spread)

She is a member of that pundit class that will be crapping bricks after July 26th.
Fact is, Sarah Palin initiated a brilliant flanking manuever against the left, the DNC, and the MSM (and throw the RINOs in there for good measure) that has them all in a frenzy wondering what her next move will be and how it will be perceived...and has them frothing at the mouth in their efforts to discredit her.
Sarah will now get her book out, go on tour, give speeches and promote conservatie principles all over this country in the midst of the Obama administration disaster and gain great political capital in the process. Then she will support conservative candidates in 2010 and help them win, amassing much more political capital. She will then take all of that and make an awesome, stunning run for the Presidency in 2012.
Why bother reading this crap?
If the Palins took $$$ for the cover spread then shame on them. It’s bad enough that Bristol gets to be one of America’s most famous baby mommies. Are people soooooooo desperate for a leader that they will keep looking the other way on these people? So what if Sarah and the Palins are pro-life? Plenty of other people in America are too. Does that qualify them to be POTUS?
Anyone want to accuse Debbie Schlussel of being a RINO? Or does not drinking the Palin Kool-aid automatically make you one?
She really is low class. Even when she is right she is over the top. She is an Ann Coulter wanna-be, but misses by a mile.
You’re not allowed to publicly criticize a conservative hero. Our heroes are perfect. They do nothing wrong - it’s all the fault of the MSM and the RINOs.
[Fact is, Sarah Palin initiated a brilliant flanking manuever ]
Flanking maneuvers always carry risks, but also the possibility of huge rewards. I think Sarah pulled a Sun Tzu and most people haven’t figured out what hit them.
We only know her short term plans. We don’t know her long term plans. For all we know, she might prefer to simply make a whole bunch of money and live a happy life.
Debbie Schlussel tried to run for several elective offices, and failed every single time. She’s in her 40’s unmarried, childless. Does that give you a hint as to why she is so bitter about Palin? Debbie’s a worthless piece of trash, and is one of the biggest PDS sufferers out there.
Anyone who objects to neglectful Feminist mothers is going to be chagrined.
On the other hand, Islam will be ecstatic.
[Youre not allowed to publicly criticize a conservative hero. Our heroes are perfect.]
Okay, why don’t you come clean and tell us who your hero is, the one that is so much better than Palin. Let me guess, Mitt “A+ Romneycare” Romney, the man with the perfect hair. Or perhaps Huckleberry.
How do you account for Schlussel’s early support of Palin?
No. Not those two.
Jealousy. You nailed the real reason, IMO.
From the looks of the current POTUS you don't have to do much (if anything) to qualify.
Palin had a lot of early support, Debbie was just going along for the ride. She fell for all the MSM BS, drank it all in, and never looked back, or engaged her brain. Whenever she wants to increase the traffic on her site, she lets loose with another blast at Palin, and her family.
So your way of defusing Schlussel’s criticisms of the Palin crew is to tear her apart? She’s a columnist commentator, not a person angling for the job of President and trying to collect votes from socially conservative people. If Palin wants to be the conservative standard bearer in America think she should walk what she talks?
Romneyite siting...clean-up requested.
There’s that....
