The first day Anne Kilkenny's e-mail started to worm its way around the Internet, Zimbio (where my blog is fed to) posted it right away for web surfers to take a gander at.
When I first perused the little missive (!), I thought it was a hoax.
Because word about Sarah Palin's past indiscretions were leaking out each new day the sun rose on the horizon, I figured the unexpected reveal was a public relations ploy to release a bit of the dirty laundry to lessen the impact when the media got wind of it.
Actually, I don't know what the fuss is all about, either.
Once I figured the e-mail was legit, I was a little put off by the fact that it was so passive, in its approach.
I mean, voters appear to either love Sarah or hate her.
In Kilkenny's expose (if you will), I found her discussion about the various issues raised, to be balanced.
The Alaskan resident - now being referred to as a gadfly - criticized where she felt it was due and gave credit where it appeared there should be some.
When I read in the morning paper that Ms. Kilkenny received a lot of vitriolic hate mail on the heels of its release on the Internet, I was surprised.
The e-mail communication amounted to milquetoast to me.
Apparently, some "attackers" have hurled insults her way, too.
One Palin supporter was inclined to accuse the middle-aged mother of being jealous of the former beauty Queen, for instance, for not having been the most popular school girl in class herself.
Oh, pooh!
Why do people always have to resort to kitchen-table psycho-analysis?
Voters should accept the fact Kilkenny tried - as best she knew how - to shed some light on Sarah.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Good on her!
