Liz Tratta is an old lion reporter, long with NBC News. As a long time Sarah supporter (since before McCain picked her for VP), I have to say that she is getting a bad bump from posters here today.
In spite of the fact that I disagree with her on Sarah, Liz is right on most of the issues, most of the time.
You are absolutely right. Posters here have short memories. Liz Trotta was all over Clinton like white on rice, and has been on "this side of the fence," VERY vocally, many times.
It's going to be a looong two years.
