Why the Liberal Obsession with Sarah Palin ?

She is usually the most prominent butt of jokes at the typical liberal, creative-class (TM), house party.

I think it's a class thing. She's a redneck, country, and therefore 'stupid' - an easy target.

Meanwhile, people like Hank Paulson are 'smart', even if Big Finance is what drove the economy into the gutter. But he got good grades in high school, and therefore was able to go to a nice college with nice people.
