Thanks for the feedback. I just wouldn't have the perspective from a US point of view...and when I read in Yahoo news that quite a few folks were upset with this - and there was no name mentioned - I thought it might be one of our TV or radio commentators.

I was a bit surprised to see it was Heather. She writes some very intelligent and great articles. Why she got her knickers in a knot over this is beyond me.

Also - it seems it was written right after the Republican convention where Sarah's VP candidacy was announced. I wonder if Heather would change her tune now.

If she writes and comment or etc in response, I'll post it.
