Every conservative talks big about political correctness in speech gone awry, and then they go ape$hit over Sarah using the word baptism in the same sentence with waterboarding. The over reaction on this issue is so ridiculous that it’s insulting.
Compare: two or three articles by conservatives about this on the Internet versus wall-to-wall coverage of the Clippers owner. The criticism of Palin isn't any kind of overreaction now, and if it becomes such it won't be because a few little known conservative hangers-on dared to object.
There will be disagreement about whether Sarah was sacrilegious and about whether water-boarding is torture or not, but what I take away from this is that Sarah's become more of an entertainer than anything else. She tells people what they want to hear and what gets a laugh. That's fine, but it's certainly a let-down from what she could have become.
