Stop comparing Sarah Palin to Tonya Harding.

[ColbertWatcher]

It's an insult to Harding.

She was is an accomplished athlete.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonya_Harding#Skating_career">Wikip*dia:

She landed her first triple axel in competition at the U.S. Championships, winning the title with the event's first 6.0 ever given to a female single skater for technical merit.

(...)

In her career, Harding landed four triple axels in competition, all of them in 1991 where she completed every one she tried: one at the U.S. Championships, one at the World Championships, and two at the fall 1991 Skate America competition. At the latter competition she recorded three more firsts:

1. the first woman ever to do a triple axel in the short program,
2. the first woman to do two triple axels in a single competition, and
3. the first ever to do a triple axel combination (with double toe loop).

Tonya Harding may have been linked to some seedy characters, but she never pretended to be something she wasn't and became a world-class athlete based on her abilities and not on unethical, backstabbing, favors or connections.

1. But Tonya was only a mediocre porn star

I'm sure "Nalin Palin" has much higher production values.
