Is this something we need to be concerned with? This kind of petty sniping is her job, not ours.

This hat is SYMBOLIC of what the COMMUNISTS wear in Cambodia and other DESPOTIC places! Comrade Sarah is an agent of Russia (she can see it from her porch can't she?) sent to undermine our democracy! Sister Comrade Sarah Wolfkiller...the EX HALF TERM QUITTER from Wasilla - who was GUILTY of ABUSE of POWER, planned to BAN BOOKS from the PUBLIC library - likely took special favors from the contractors of the wasilla sports complex(PLEASE look at the ppictures of the interior of her lake house vs. the sports arean building - they are identical!) This is a ruthlessly ambitious pageant queen wannabe who speaks before she thinks! She QUIT her position of sworn RESPONSIBILITY to the voters to grab big bucks. She is now simply a well paid media W H O R E!!! What do we do with communist sympathizers like Comrade Palin???

It makes her look childish.

This is a light-hearted post with amusing comments, but Her extreme politics aside (global warming denier, "polar bears aren't endangered," abortion under no circumstances, etc., etc...), you gotta give credit where credit is due. Of course to some people it's genuinely not in their taste, but the disproportionate slant of the poll result of a seemingly innocuous hat (not outrageously bad), calls the results into question. I don't think I'd be able to pull it off, but the hat looks good on her, especially in this shot: http://www.imagebam.com/image/5dced359048767

When you pounce on EVERYTHING Sarah Palin, it just comes off as petty and reactionary, and justified criticisms get lost in it all, and pretty soon, people stop listening to even deserved criticisms, blowing it off as partisan politics, in the style of right-wing nutter Michelle Malkin. In an ad-hominem, childish approach, Michelle Malkin often uses unflattering pictures of her targets, taken in the exact wrong second to accompany her posts. Visit her site on any given day, and you will see what I mean. The only people who take Malkin seriously are her equally extreme followers.

Looking at the first photo I think the appropriate word coming out of her mouth is "duh".

I don't know why the media is making such a big deal about this silly hat. This style has been popular for years.
