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.

"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."
-- President Ronald Reagan
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldnt make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan
Who benefits most from Sanford meltdown? Californian (that's right) Mitt Romney
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
You asked why she changed her mind. i presented a reason, one that could be applied not only to the three I mention, but many others, eg, all the sods at National Review too.
Thay don’t all live on the east coast, they aren’t all harvard educated.
They have some things in common: RINOs and mainly Mitt supporters.
So, you asked the question and are dismissive of everyone’s response, tell me the answer please, and can I call you Debbie?
Wow. Such insight. /sarc
“Youre not allowed to publicly criticize a conservative hero. Our heroes are perfect. They do nothing wrong - its all the fault of the MSM and the RINOs.”
As Alexander Solzhenitsin said, “Evil people always support each other; that is their main strength.”
Or, to put it another way, “No enemies to the left.”
This stragedy and policy has served the leftards well. It’s a corollary of the venerable family tradition of “not airing your dirty linen in public.”
The forces of evil protect their own at any cost. We throw any transgressors to the wolves, publicly, thereby setting Satan’s minions up to claim that Pubbies are corrupt, while demonrats are pure.
We should refrain from airing our dirty linen in public. If one of ours needs to be disciplined or punished, we should take care of it in private, away from prying eyes and malicious tongues.
There is a multitude of idiots out there who really think that the right is more corrupt, vastly less honorable and honest, than the Barney Fags, Nancy Lugosis, and Dingy Harry Reids of the world.
Astounding? Of course, but that’s why we call the demonrats the evil party and the pubbies the stupid party.
That’s right, she isn’t. Schlussel’s a fringe extremist.
Alliances between people from opposite ends of the political spectrum in order to defeat a common enemy in the center are nothing new. Witness:
David Duke and Cindy Sheehan against the Iraq war
Pat Buchanan and Lenora Fulani against Bush and Gore
Christian Coalition and NOW against bikini magazines
Chuck Baldwin/Bob Barr/Ron Paul and Ralph Nader/Cynthia McKinney against McCain and Obama
Nazis and Communists against the Weimar Republic (the Nazis got rid of the Communists once they were in power and didn’t need them anymore)
And now, Debbie Schlussel (far right) and Peggy Noonan (liberal RINO) against Sarah Palin (mainstream conservative).
bttt
You’re off target. But judging by most of the replies on this thread, you’re in good company.
The awareness of the brutal backstabbing nature of
Willard “I am Myth” Romney is quite ON-target, friend.
Yeah, Debbie does seem a bit on the fringe. She’s certainly shrill at times.
Your replies are not replies. It’s hardly surprising. No answers, best stick with those that have the answer. The word is Palin.
The target I am referring to is me. I’m not a Romney supporter.
Still waiting! About the why? Who you supprted (primaries)Why join a discussion if you won’t say boo.
Mitt Romney is a flip-flopping socialist bum!

Sorry, bud. I’m not a Romney supporter.
“So you have no issue with Palins lack of substance on issues”
You’re forgetting one thing: you can’t name an issue she lacks substance on.
This is because she’s one of the few with substance on issues.
You forgot one:
Wow, and thank you too Shelly for that kind introduction, and thank you so much for your endorsement, and with your help, Shelly Shelly [Mandell, President of NOWs LA Chapter], in November, all of us, who consider ourselves progressive...

So, who do you support then, Mr. Libertarian Republican? Ron Paul?
If you treat it [naming a child] lightly or absurdly, I wonder how you make other decisions.And I conclude that you don't really think too much or too hard. It may sound trivial or old fashioned to you, but her choice of kids' names makes me wonder all of these things about the woman who may be our next Vice President.
Even though I like Sarah Palin and I'm still voting for her, I wonder."
I guess this was the most substantive criticism she could muster up?
I used to have Debbie bookmarked and I read her day after day for several months. Slowly I realized that she was filled with jealousy and hate. A Jewish girl who disapointed her parents by not giving the grand-children. Her career came first.
I understand why she would attack Sarah. Jealousy.
Not sure if WE catch your drift here. Let me make it clear... You clearly are against Palin...
