Noooooooo. I said she HAS a killer paragraph in her writing.
She is quoting incredible statistics, the STATISTICS ARE THE INCREDIBLE PART and Rb, I CERTAINLY HOPE she did not MAKE THEM UP. Geeeez. I am pretty sure you don't want her making statistics up either.
Don't worry too much about the folks like me who really admire Sarah, because there are lots of folks who do not, as well. And that is ok. We are all in this together.
You said "she has a killer paragraph in her writing." So, yeah, I can be excused for thinking you meant that she wrote it.
She is quoting incredible statistics, the STATISTICS ARE THE INCREDIBLE PART and Rb, I CERTAINLY HOPE she did not MAKE THEM UP. Geeeez. I am pretty sure you don't want her making statistics up either.
The thing is, I've been reading statistics like that for the past 20+ years. They're not new and surprising facts.
What they are, is precisely the type of information that has been animating the tort reform movement for the past two decades (at least).
They're quite useful in the context of Palin's article. But they're not ground-breaking, and neither is her article.
