For Shame, Keith. Where is your tingly leg now?

The media has been frothing with excitement recently over McCain's VP Sarah Palin. Some publicity has been good and some has been bad.

ST. PAUL (Reuters) - Sarah Palin broke a five-day silence and talked her way into Republican hearts and minds. The Alaska governor plucked from relative obscurity by John McCain to be his vice presidential running mate for the Nov. 4 election pressed all the right buttons in a much anticipated speech on Wednesday at the party's national convention.
"She looked into the liberal heart and made it bleed," said Tobias Buck, a delegate from Indiana.
The partisan crowd was electrified by her repeated pointed attacks on Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, which capped a night of invective aimed at him by party heavyweights such as former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Palin, 44, had been in seclusion since her nomination last week as disclosures about her family swirled around the McCain campaign.
In her speech, she reminded the crowd of Obama's comments at a San Francisco fundraiser in April about bitter small-town residents.
"We don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening," Palin said.
Republicans were thrilled.
"I thought her speech was excellent. She looks like a beauty queen but she's no cupcake," said Anne Conrad, a delegate from Tennessee

If there's one thing I don't get about the media's coverage of Sarah Palin, it's the constant reiteration of the point that she will somehow be unfit to take the job of the VP because of her five children.

Seriously? I already talked about this in one of my last blogs (http://unlibertaire.blogspot.com/2008/09/sarah-palins-experience.html), but for some reason the media still keeps hammering the point (maybe it's because there aren't any top media execs in the group of roughly 2.5 people who look at this blog).

It seems like those who make those personal attacks are afraid of something. It's painfully obvious that those who attack her without shame have a vested interest in the downfall of the Republican ticket.

Sarah Palin is not a cupcake.
