From litbrit:

"Thing is, Palin is *not* a strong conservative woman. She’s the antithesis of a strong woman, period. Rather, she’s a pretty face who was pageant-trained early on in life and as such, she has poise, she can speak in public, she knows how to catch someone’s attention when there are other attention-getting people around, and as for the rest, she relies on others to do her work for her. A city manager to run Wasilla; her husband (and a few others) to run Alaska (see the MSNBC-published emails? Every bit of Alaska business involved Todd, and he was cc’d on every email); a woman to write her book; a different woman and a man to pen her Facebook screeds and Op-eds.

The only “authentic” bit of Palin work was her resignation speech. The one that she wrote on cue-cards in oddly childish hand, with lots of asterisks and exclamation points; the one of which she was so proud, she posted its text on her Governor’s website.

The author Stephen Crane called such people “shining puppets”. And that’s exactly what Palin is: a shining puppet. Not a strong woman, conservative or liberal or libertarian. Puppet. That is all."
