When it comes to finding excuses for criticizing Sarah Palin, the Washington Post proves that's there's no pretext too trivial for the leftist rag to bash her. At a time when the nation is saddled with an unprecedented debt burden, chronic unemployment, people walking away from their home mortgages while sales of existing homes tank, and the worst environmental disaster in the country's history, the Post's progressives are focused on... the aesthetics of the privacy fence hastily constructed by Todd Palin to protect his family from the stalker next door:
"I've seen a few fences in my time, but none quite as defiantly ugly as the one now shielding Sarah Palin and her family from what she suggests are the prying eyes of her new neighbor, an author named Joe McGinniss."Few would dispute that the Post is little more than a stenographer service for the DNC's talking points department, but really, using the gardening editor to slam the Palins is a desperate move. When it comes to railing against Sarah Palin and her family, WaPo always stoops a little lower to scrape the trite from the bottom of the barrel marked "Who cares?" in stenciled letters. You can't make this stuff up, but the Post does, and shamelessly so.

"However genuine the motives behind the fence, from a design, horticultural and sheer aesthetic standpoint, it looks like a disaster."
