It's not just any state governer, it's Sarah Palin.

You have to understand that many of us ditched sites like Reddit and Digg because for weeks on end hit pieces on her were the front page. On Digg it was a farce because you could limit the topics down to any one of the narrow choices and still get two or three Palin stories on the front page.

My first instinct seeing that title was "Oh on, not here. Aren't we done whipping her around yet?". Then realizing the source was HN, I had to click the link... I'll concede that it was interesting to see the edited copy.

A smarmy leftist crossed out "because I know being right is better than being popular" and replaces it with "but I'm convinced that being right is better than being popular", with similar pointless non-corrections, in an obvious hit piece and you think this is news?

Hmm? Do you think this is news? It's a "dumb blonde joke" writ large. These people are cockroaches, period.
