“Has anyone in the world been more scrutinized, investigated, watched through a microscope, analyzed, trashed and belittled?”

The scrutiny to which Governor Palin is subjected reminds me of Joan of Arc. The agnostic Mark Twain’s superb biography of the French Saint makes the cogent point that Joan’s life was documented,in not one but two, very thorough and extended public trials. The astounding miracles and details of her life are analyzed, checked, rechecked, verified and confirmed like literally no one else in history.
The utter miracle that was Joan of Arc left Twain astounded and a bit taken aback in his unbelief.
Well, that’s a BIT off track, but the electron microscope of very bad intentions, under which Sarah Palin functions, no FLOURISHES, represents a double standard that is applied to no other political candidate on the scene today.
Very interesting about Twain and Joan of Arc ... may have to get that biography.
Okay, it’s time for some talented Freeper to create us a Joan of Arc graphic with Sarah’s face.
