country-bumpkin chumpette
Despised by the leftwing elite.
"One gal-pal classmate of my wife ' s has even traveled from New York ' s Finger Lakes to Alaska to hunt moose with her husband. (Got one, too.) And no, Ms. Streisand, she isn ' t a redneck missing half her teeth - she ' s a lawyer.
The sneering elites and their mediacrat fellow travelers just don ' t get it: How on earth could anyone vote for someone who didn ' t attend an Ivy League school? And having more than 1.7 children marks any woman as a rube. If Palin had any taste, her teenage daughter would ' ve had a quiet abortion in a discreet facility.
And what kind of retro-Barbie would stay happily married to her high-school sweetheart? Ugh. She even kills animals and eats them.
Palin has that hick accent, too. And that busy-mom beehive ' do. Double ugh! Bet she hasn ' t even read Ian McEwan ' s latest novel and can ' t explain Frank Gehry ' s vision for a new architecture. She and her blue-collar (triple ugh!) husband don ' t even own a McMansion, let alone an inherited family compound on the Cape .
And she wants to be vice president?
The opinion-maker elites see Sarah Palin clearly every time they look up from another sneering article in The New Yorker: She ' s a country-bumpkin chumpette from a hick state with low latte availability. She ' s not one of them and never will be. That ' s the real disqualifier in this race.
Now let me tell you what those postmodern bigots with their multiple vacation homes and their disappointing trust-fund kids don ' t see:
Sarah Palin ' s one of us. She actually represents the American people.
When The New York Times, CNN, the NBC basket of basket cases and all the barking blog dogs insult Palin, they ' re insulting us. When they smear her, they ' re smearing every American who actually works for a living, who doesn ' t expect a handout, who doesn ' t have a full-time accountant to parse the family taxes, who believes in the Pledge of Allegiance and who thinks a church is more than just a tedious stop on daughter Emily ' s 100K wedding day.
Go ahead, faux feminists and Hollywood deep thinkers: Snicker at Sarah America ' s degree from the University of Idaho, but remember that most Americans didn ' t attend Harvard or Princeton as a legacy after daddy donated enough to buy his kid ' s way in.
Go ahead, campaign strategists: Mock Americans who go to church and actually pray. But you might want to run the Census numbers first.
And go right ahead: Dismiss all of us who remember how, on the first day of deer season, our high school classrooms were half empty (not a problem at Andover or Exeter ).
That rube accent of Palin ' s? It ' s a howler. But she sounds a lot more like the rest of us than a Harvard man or a Smithie ever will.
Why does Sarah Palin energize all of us who don ' t belong to the gilded leftwing circle? Because she ' s us. We sat beside her in class. We hung out after school (might ' ve even shared a backseat combat zone on prom night). And now she lives next door, raising her kids.
For the first time since Ronald Reagan, every chief executive has had the imprimatur of an Ivy League university. And we ' ve gone from bad to worse:
Our country can ' t afford another one of these clowns. Harvard isn ' t the answer - Harvard ' s the problem.
So here ' s the message Palin is sending on behalf of the rest of us (the down-market masses Dems love at election time and ignore once the voting ' s done): The rule of the snobs is over. It ' s time to give one of us a chance to lead.
Sen. John McCain 's one of us, too. He raised hell at Annapolis (quadruple ugh: military!), and he ' ll raise the right kind of hell in Washington .
McCain ' s so dumb he really loves his country.
Sarah Palin ' s dumb that way, too. How terribly unfashionable."
