Saint Sarah To white evangelical women, Sarah Palin is a modern-day prophet, preaching God, flag, and family—while remaking the religious right in her own image.
Another memoirist might prefer to keep such matters private, but Sarah Palin is not another memoirist. In Going Rogue: An American Life, Palin describes, perhaps for the first time in the history of political autobiography, a furtive trip to an out-of-state drugstore to obtain a do-it-yourself pregnancy test. This was in the fall of 2007, when the 43-year-old mother of four was governor of Alaska and began to notice “some peculiar yet familiar physical symptoms, like the smell of cigarettes making me feel more nauseated than usual.” So, while on business in New Orleans—at a time and in a place where her anonymity was still possible—Palin procured the kit. In the privacy of her hotel room, she “followed the instructions on the...box. Slowly a pink image materialized on the stick.

Newswhat? Is this a publication anyone buys? Or just some random leftist blogging outfit?
“To white evangelical women, Sarah Palin is a modern-day prophet, preaching God, flag, and family—while remaking the religious right in her own image.”
And NOW you know why Newsweek hates her,
hates her.
Too much good stuff .....................
And if you knew the Newsweek writers as I do then you’d understand it even better.
Isn’t this great........confirmation that Madam President is exploding libtards heads everywhere....
Every time I see an article like this I am more encouraged than ever..
Thanks for the summary.
I’d click the link, but I don’t want to give Newsweak any more views than is absolutely necessary (which is almost never).
Nobody buys it. They are pining for a Federal bailout.
Newsmax may buy it. (snicker)
And that’s what I think, too.
The bottom line is, those remaining Newsweak readers don’t like Sarah anyway, so it’s a sum zero loss/gain.
People tend to become delusional after drinking too much Kool-Aid.
We’re tens of trillions in debt, we’re in a recession, our southern border is a joke, the Middle East could blow up at any time, but Newsweek in on the job, attacking the evil Sarah Palin.
Isn’t Newsweek going broke?
Articles like this are a good reason. But the press is like Obama, they just don’t seem to learn.
I would imagine this kind of critique for Palin is quit laughable considering she has been raised in the same way.
New hitpiece PING!!!!
To white evangelical womenand could that per chance be racist? Oh, my!
I don't know how anybody can work there and not die from embarrassment at what they've done to the dying concept of objective journalism.
They make no bones about it, they are an official mouthpiece of the Democratic Party and reprint their positions as news with a completely straight face.
As pathetic as the New York Times is, at least they unsuccessfully make the effort to appear unbiased. They at least have the shame to try hide their obvious political allegiances. Newsweek doesn't even care. They are like highschool cheerleaders and Obama is the head quarterback. I don't doubt that they squeal when he shows up at press conferences.
