Ellen Goodman and her pieces have always been a great source of irritation as I really don't care what the view is from Boston.

To attack Sarah Palin for doing the right thing is typical liberal media. They weren't happy with her in office and they aren't happy now that she's out.

Palin was unable to do her job because of unfounded slander and personal attacks. She determined that she was a detriment to the people of Alaska by herself, by golly.

It seems to me that she chose her family and the citizens of Alaska over her own personal agenda, after her 14-year-old daughter was attacked in the public media added to the backlash from people like Goodman when she had the presumed audacity to run as a vice president on the Republican ticket.

Tell me, Ellen Goodman, is Ted Kennedy serving the people of Massachusetts? Has he resigned even though with his illness he is obviously unable to serve the people of your state?

It seems to me you would have far better targets in your own liberal Democratic backyard in lovely Boston. Palin is way out of your league.

That's just my view from Cornville.
