I disagree with your reader who says Palin is a bullshitter.  I kind of like bullshitters.  I consider someone like Bill Clinton to be a bullshitter.  Kind of smooth, kind of  full of one's self.  In my mind, Palin is a disturbed individual who does not live in a world where truth as a concept is relevant or even extant.  She is wholly a creation of the media because she has a sexy quality to her good looks (especially in an industry - politics - that has few beauties).  Her only cleverness is that she uses her child with Down's Syndrome as the entire basis of her being as a politician. Sorry to put it so crudely, but that is the thing that the hard right loves about her. (In fact, she recounts how she considered abortion but decided against it.  As a mother, I find that little story so disgusting. Why would a mother ever openly discuss that they thought about aborting her child? Or her defender, Bernie Goldberg, implying that a liberal would abort a Down's Syndrome child. Even more disgusting.) 

Some people who are not on the hard right like her for other reasons - especially because she is a working mother of five. They relate to her, and I think that is valid. ]]>
