Team McCain utterly failed to "vet" Sarah Palin, so the blogosphere did the job instead. And we obviously drew blood because Team McCain cannot rebut any of the facts, so they are crying "sexism" instead. 

Give me a break.

It was John McCain - not progressive bloggers - who laughed and said "that's an excellent question" when asked "how do we beat the bitch," referring to Hillary Clinton. It was John McCain - not progressive bloggers - who called Cindy McCain a c**t. It was John McCain - not progressive bloggers - who famously joked "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."

Before John McCain or anyone around him accuses anyone else of sexism, McCain needs to apologize publicly and sincerely to Hillary Clinton, Cindy McCain, Chelsea Clinton, and Janet Reno.

And Sarah Palin owes some apologies too. First she needs to apologize to Hillary Clinton for calling her a "whiner":

“She does herself a disservice to even mention it, really,” Palin said. “When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism, or maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, ‘Man, that doesn’t do us any good, women in politics, or women in general, trying to progress this country,’” Palin said.

Then she needs to apologize to the Republican leader of the Alaska State Senate for laughing at a rightwing talkshow host who called her a "cancer."

Finally, all the Republicans who are calling Democrats, bloggers, and the media "sexist" need to apologize for their total silence while Hillary Clinton was the victim of real sexist attacks.
