Something that I have been thinking about the past few days after witnessing the fury of the attack on Sarah Palin. As usual, Peggy Noonan does a wonderful job of capturing the problem in words.

An excerpt from OpinionJournal.com

Because she jumbles up so many cultural categories, because she is a feminist not in the Yale Gender Studies sense but the How Do I Reload This Thang way, because she is a woman who in style, history, moxie and femininity is exactly like a normal American feminist and not an Abstract Theory feminist; because she wears makeup and heels and eats mooseburgers and is Alaska Tough, as Time magazine put it; because she is conservative, and pro-2nd Amendment and pro-life; and because conservatives can smell this sort of thing -- who is really one of them and who is not -- and will fight to the death for one of their beleaguered own; because of all of this she is a real and present danger to the American left, and to the Obama candidacy.

She could become a transformative political presence.

So they are going to have to kill her, and kill her quick.

And it's going to be brutal. It's already getting there.

I'll have more on this later, but in the meantime, you might not really want to love on Peggy Noonan too much.
 
With the exception being their respective daughters, I agree with g_c.

Look out for flying pigs and snowballs piling up in Hell.

You are right. Chelsea suffered through the brunt of right wing attacks. Two nuggets that you may enjoy:

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father". (McCain)

"Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat. Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is a White House dog?" And he puts up a picture of Chelsea Clinton." (Limbaugh)
 
Eva, have you seen her speak yet? I saw a CNBC interview last week and she was quite impressive. I think she is going to open some eyes tonight.
