Everyone else had to work for a living. But then, try to get a normal Joe (or Josephine) like Sarah Palin and she gets crucified by the left and has to endure a constant barrage of character destruction by entertainers. I don't care that she's more conservative for my tastes or not, she was a regular person who had regular problems and was mercilessly maligned by the left. Her mistake is she was to be VP, not a Congressman, so the spotlight went on her when she wasn't prepared for it.
