The mainstream media is predictably unhinged at Sarah Palin’s remarks at Saturday’s National Tea Party convention. But the current relapse of Palin Derangement Syndrome is mostly attributed to her having scribbled a few notes on her hand. Apparently this is a big deal worthy of just about every media outlet’s ire.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had described Barack Obama as “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
It’s strange how the left side of the political aisle constantly makes the racial faux pas, yet they like to play the race card against the right.
