OSC makes at least one very good point about Sarah Palin’s book – most notably: if you haven’t read it you can’t review it.
OSC has read it but doesn’t review it (at least very much). Instead he refers to a NYT review of GOING ROGUE, which is interesting, but also very troubling – it intellectualizes the idea of lying in an autobiography – arguing that it is standard and therefore of no great importance.
OSC is also upset that the “liberal media” savaged Sarah Palin. And that is true. Jon Stewart made tons of fun out of her.
OSC says: “She has done nothing to warrant this treatment.”
All I can conclude from this OSC has never heard Palin speak.
