She said it ALL. Everything that needed to be said on the subject. The straw that broke the camel's back was the ridiculous extent to which the McCain campaign shielded Palin during her U.N. visit.

Ms. Brown was momentarily channelling Keith Olbermann! She even defined it as a "rant".

The McCain campaign will no doubt chalk this up to more "liberal media bias". But you know what? Campbell Brown isn't some biased liberal pundit. She's been very even handed. In this case, she's just an anchor calling it like it is. Keith Olbermann didn't start out as the liberal answer to Bill O'Reilly. He just started "calling it like it is", too.

The media used to do that, remember? The Fourth Estate? Truth? Thankfully, they're starting to again.

As Obama (and now Campbell Brown) said: ENOUGH!

1. It's not sexism by the McCain camp, so much as simply-not-ready-to-be-VP-ism.

But if some want to call it sexism, I'm fine with that, too!

3. I don't think it's sexism either. GWB got the same treatment. nt

5. Well, I can see that. But given they CLEARLY nominated her BECAUSE she was a woman, and that they...

... have been so quick to label as "sexist" any story investigating her RECORD in a remotely negative way, then I think yes, they are being sexist. They are playing the gender card in numerous ways, and all to say "poor wittle Sarah Palin".

2. Good. We need more truth telling about that sorry excuse for a human being.

4. I've been bitching about that for weeks. It's about fucking time.
