In the 2 years, 4½ months since Sarah Palin became target practice for the boys on the left, I believe there has been a (denigrating) story about her every day since on the quite liberal Huffington Post.
About 875 days.
For context, it beats the old Most Mentioned record at the HuffPo by about 825 days.
If Sarah makes a public statement through the traditional media, she is spanked.
If she Tweets, she is spanked.
If she remains silent, she is spanked.
If she does a television show, she is excoriated.
If she shoots a gun, she is hammered.
If Sarah’s daughter appears on “Dancing with the Stars,” Sarah is roasted.
Sarah brought her health-impaired son on stage, and she was whacked by the left-wing media.
Sarah came into the stage alone, and she was criticized by the left for ignoring her needy son.
Boys, What is the Matter?
You can’t explain the left’s minute-to-minute obsession with Sarah any more then you can comprehend Jared Loughner’s fetish about currency.
Now there is a link I could learn to like.
Sarah is beautiful, traditional, articulate, funny and smart — which means she is not a Democrat. Democratic women politicians look like sheepdogs after a tough day in the pasture. That must be why the constantly caterwauling left is so darned obsessed with her. They don’t have anyone to compete with the beautiful, fashionable Republican women politicians who recently have blossomed into full-grown stars.
The New York Times, which used to be the best newspaper in America until the Wall Street Journal whizzed by them, is obsessed with Sarah, as James Taranto of the Journal demonstrates in this extraordinary piece from this morning:

One of my major weaknesses when I get up at 4 o’clock is to search for a cheap laugh. The shortest distance is to the “Bill Press Show” on 1150AM. If you have a hungry funny bone, whether your politics are right or left, Bill with the Studied Stutter and the Half-Inch Temper Fuse is your cinch chef for yucks. If you can surmount his vulgarity.
Every time he mentions Sarah Palin, several times each of the three hours he is on live, starting at 3 a.m., I think he actually must be referring to one of the former Mrs. Noonans floating about America. She districts him every day. I believe he, too, has mentioned Sarah every day since John McCain introduced her to the world.
By the second hour of the B.P. Show, his nearly bursting blood vessels will remind you of Swishie’s incessant head-bobbing from right to left when he is trying to look articulate and grown up. Swishie looks at one teleprompter, then, like a naughty kid, glances at the other, then glances back. Left, right, right, left — and your tummy soon grows dizzy. Mischievously, you reach for a snack that Mad (Don’t You Love My Bare Arms?) Michelle is trying to outlaw.
Like many liberals who ignore or misunderstand nuance, Mr. Press was hilarious this morning. Like a little boy, he tried to bait callers and guests into criticizing Sarah. Treat yourself. Go to billpressshow.com
If anyone can produce a rational, so far unexplored, reason why the left is in hate-love with Sarah Palin, I will buy you dinner for two at the restaurant of your choice.
