OK – not in a creepy way, just in a “read all I can about her way.” Because I really, really want to like her. Maureen Dowd - usually one of my favorite columnists – really hacked me off this morning too. Because while I appreciate her humor in the face of truth, I also believe that picking on what a woman names her children is just getting snippy. I have a feeling that while Sarah Palin was always the most popular girl in school – Maureen Dowd might have been the girl in the corner, scribbling her thoughts in her slambook. At least – that’s what it felt like this morning.
This is one of the main reasons I feel we may never have a female president. Because women are too hell-bent on tearing each other down – no matter what their views. Wouldn’t it have been great if Dowd could have at least given Palin a pat on the back for getting this far, before ripping her to shreds?
Anyway, in my own search for truth in politics (no, really, I’m trying not to laugh while I type), I have been enjoying the multitude of stories on the Internet about Palin. I have always wanted to live in Alaska and this just gives me a little more fodder.
Here are a few news stories I found interesting:

Mary Griffin says:
I idolize Sarah Palin because she is a woman with very strong character. She has also lots of accomplishments in the area of public service..
