    "Palin Derangement Syndrome."

    Ah yes, I have seen this brought up before. Instead of wondering WHY people are intensely looking at what the politician in question has done, both now and in the past, they immediately start attacking those who are inquiring, calling them "deranged." It couldn't be because her political history is sketchy. It couldn't be because a woman who was almost VP and is still adored by the Tea Party, has made many statements that draw her value as a representative into question.

    People want to see what she has said and done, in public office, before. But hey, she's a popular Republican politician so any inquiry or criticisms are just deragement. Time for congress to go on another $40 million dollar witch hunt again against whatever Democrat they can.

    I can't stand the woman but this whole thing is petty.

    You are being the stereotypical useful idiot, unless you're being paid, in which case you're a ham-handed shill. Every public figure's communications are sifted through any time it's possible to lay hands on the material. The only difference about this particular media event is that it has been made into a media event specifically to provoke the kind of reaction you are demonstrating here.

    I only hope you are using me and don't really believe this shit...
