Sarah Palin is the luckiest woman on the planet

Are the media treating her unfairly? Are they “bashing” Palin, as her supporters describe any criticism? Was the Newsweek cover sexist?

Call me a guy but give me a break. Sarah Palin is the luckiest woman on the planet.

Hats off to the girl from Wasilla who, slightly more than a year ago, was virtually unknown and is now on the cover of Newsweek, hawking a book for which she was paid a few million dollars, drawing huge crowds and getting the kind of free publicity most celebrities have to jump on Oprah’s couch to get.

Oh, and yes, she got to sit on Oprah’s set as well. And we’re supposed to defend/feel sorry for/protect Sarah from . . . what? Wild success, popularity and riches? You must be joking.
