             I think that's what's really at the root of what irks me about it all, pdq. Politically, I don't agree with very much of Sarah Palin's agenda, but what the left wing media has done to her is far worse than anything Fox, Limbaugh or any of the screaming righties have ever done to a left wing candidate, at least since McCarthy. They've shown themselves to be real sleaze-bags.
