There’s only two things I don’t like about liberal pundits…

…their face.

(For those of you that are liberals, that’s a reference to being two-faced.) You see, for as long as I can remember, Liberals have owned the franchise on demographic groups like “feminists,” “soccer moms,” “working moms,” and “women who want to break through glass ceilings.” Then came Sarah Palin.

Pwned.

Even though I expected Liberals go go appoplectic over Palin, I figured they’d be smart enough to stop short of hypocrisy when they turned the attack dogs of war her direction. I was wrong. We’re seeing little bon mots like this:

  • Palin: Bad Parent or Conservative Feminist? (ABC News)
  • Babies, Lies & Scandal (Us Magazine cover story)
  • A woman – buy why this woman? (Baltimore Sun)
  • Disclosures on Palin raise questions on vetting process (New York Times)

So let’s see if I can quantify and qualify the Lib’s talking points here:

  • Even though Sarah Palin is a woman (which is good), she’s a conservative (bad)
  • She was a mayor of a small town (small towns = bad) so she’s unqualified to be VP
  • She may be a governor, but Alaska doesn’t count – too many white people
  • Her executive experience (good) doesn’t count, because…because…um…because it took place in Alaska, and she wasn’t inside the Beltway
  • She’s compassionate regarding special needs kids (good) but anti-abortion (bad)
  • She’s a working mom (good) but since she’s a conservative, that makes her a bad mother
  • We didn’t see this coming, so the vetting process must have been flawed
  • Her 17 daughter’s pregnant (good) but she’s not counseling the kid to have an abortion (bad)
  • She fights corruption (uh-oh) so we’ll trot out those that oppose her to discredit her
  • She’s got feet of clay, so let’s mock her for not being perfect
  • She’s governed large number of minorities (good) but we can claim they don’t count, since they’re not black or Latino

Get the drift? If you don’t believe this is incredibly biased coverage, try taking ANY one of these headlines or strategies, and apply it to one of the Democrats who ran for President. Let’s see…

  • How does Edwards (a former VP candidate, who ran for President twice) stack up in the vetting process?
  • How does Edwards do on the “truthiness” quotient?
  • How does Obama’s experience in the Senate (less than one term) and the Illinois legislature (ditto) stack up to Mayoral and Gubernatorial experience?
  • Doesn’t Obama have young kids?
  • Didn’t JFK have young kids in the White House?
  • Didn’t Obama’s mama have him when she was still in her teens?
  • Obama (helped) sponor an ethics bill, but did he actually expose, fight, or fire anyone for corruption?
  • Didn’t Biden get exposed for plagiarism – more than once?
  • Hasn’t Biden made a number of inappropriate comments about minorities?

Okay – that last one’s a bonus, since they’ve not (yet) claimed Palin is a bigot. (Probably only a matter of time.)

The simple fact of the matter is that Palin is every bit as qualified to be President (much less VP) as Obama is to be President. As the CEO of Alaska, she’s overseen a budget that’s something like 47 times bigger than Obama’s ever done. And had 30x the employees under her charge than Obama’s had. Oh, and she understands the oil bidness, gets the need to drill, supports wildlife conservation, is sensitive to the environment, has a husband in a union, and understands what it’s like to be a working mom.

In short, Palin is every liberal’s nightmare.

They can’t attack Palin on the facts. So they resort to the lowest kinds of arguments. Sadly, for them, in order to make those arguments, they have to become hypocrites. (Not that this is a surprise…or a particluarly difficult thing for them.) The sound and fury of their hypocrisy, however, is indicative of but one thing (and it’s not Palin’s suitability for office) – it’s the fact that they are scared to death that Palin is a living embodiment of everything they rail against, and that her very existence (as well as her success) is living proof that their ideas have no merit.

Palin is the best thing that has happened to McCain, the GOP, and America.

Like I said before, this is gonna get gooood…
