Right, and I'm just looking at the ideas.  An unfair attack on ideas is 
still an unfair attack.

Oh why *not* go after her looks.  Remember how people said Al Gore was too 
fat, too bearded, too dressed-in-brown, etc.?  Palin may not like it when 
people call her a MILF, but if she's going to say that Obama's speech was 
full of WTF? moments, then she can't claim the high ground here.

As for her family, I'd feel a lot more sympathy if they weren't 
voluntarily taking part in "reality TV" shows and the like, at least one 
of which actually starred Palin herself.
