Sarah Palin has been in New York City over the past few weeks, where a federal court heard her libel case against the New York Times over a 2017 editorial which she claimed damaged her career as a conservative political commentator. The case was eventually dismissed, and to add insult to injury, an unfortunate photo of Palin outside the Manhattan courthouse where the trial was held has gone viral.
Now, we will concede that making fun of someone’s looks isn’t nice. But in the case of the 2008 candidate for vice president, maybe it’s okay to make an exception just this once. After all, it’s not a stretch to connect the rise of Palin and her folksy brand of defiant ignorance directly to the current state of the Republican party — and the United States, by proxy — which is currently being held hostage by a former reality TV president and congresspeople like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who make Palin look nearly hinged in comparison.
