Jason Owens: This media elite not apologizing to Sarah Palin

Granted I usually stick to writing sports stories. I have never written a word about Palin and generally save my myriad political opinions for discussions over pints rather than text on your computer screen.

But when I read a headline touting the Alaska Governor’s decision to bail on her constituents as “brilliant” on the pages of the very publication I work for, I couldn’t bite my tongue (ahem, my fingertips) anymore.

Palin is one of the nation’s most virulent political lightning rods for a reason. She is the line in the sand that separates America’s out-of-touch, silver-spoon ladling, chardonnay-sipping elite from the good hard-working people of the common class.

At least that’s the story from the Palin camp.

It’s a political strategy perfected and subsequently set back by the Bush Administration that’s morphed into a vocal minority voice on the heels of Obama’s victory last November.

Attack the liberally educated city dwellers and appeal to the “Real America” while actually working for the causes of the true white-collar elite. (And then complain about your $500,000 in legal fees). It’s brilliant...

1. Rec'd~ Thankfully the sports writer is sharper than

the political department of the sandiegounion.

"It’s a desperate, unfocused Republican movement that’s miles away from its conservative roots and reeling from the failures of the Bobby Jindals and Mark Sanfords of the world to pan out as viable saviors."

2. It is SDNN, not the Union

Actually it is a new San Diego online publication San Diego News Network. It beats the UT with a stick.

Dear Governor Palin, M'am:

I'm sorry you are such a fool that the media cannot avoid pointing it out.
