Medved despises Palin, and conservatives.
Medved is one of those guys that you do not want to hear him describe Palin, he will start with sounding pleasant, as though he is trying to defend her efforts in spite of how she does everything wrong and being misguided, and then he will spend 80% of the description telling you how he thinks her critics are too harsh on her when they accuse her of..., or attack her for...., or think she is...., and he will go on and on lovingly telling you what her “critics” say, but of course he himself isn’t saying it.
Medved is very effeminate in his personality, and he has that snotty backbiting high school girl way of attacking things that he doesn’t approve of, and that includes the right.
