That lame Vanity Fair hit piece on Palin was lamer than you think

The problem: Trig wasn’t at the event, according to its organizer, Karladine Graves, a 61-year old Kansas City physician and who, in 2009, founded one of the wave of new local conservative groups, this one called Preserving American Liberty. The “woman, perhaps a nanny,” was the boy’s mother, St. Louis talk radio host Gina Loudon, according to the event’s organizer, Graves.

Graves said she was “disappointed” by the piece, which also paints her organization as a dodgy financial pass-through, rather than what seems to be the reality: It was a small group putting on a big conference with speakers like Palin, J.C. Watts, and Fred Thompson, and one that continues to put on its regular slate of smaller local events.
