The characterization of Palin as redneck was not mine, originally; I borrowed it from a native who was quoted extensively near the beginning of this thread.

However I agree it was a bit over the line to re-use it.

Almost as over the top as the assertions that she has a "green record" and an "ethics record" when she promotes drilling in wild-life reserves, hunting from helicopters, and keeping polar bears off the endangered species list despite the statistics of their shrinking habitats.

But you're right--I should not engage in the same mind-twisting alterations as those whom I criticize do. So I withdraw the redneck descriptor; and the pixie descriptor, too. So my sentence now becomes, "You know what's really wonderful? That a redneck pixie *&^*&% xxx&*&^$%# from an outback watering hole small town can someday think of going all the way to Washington."
