Controversy In September 2008, two National Post writers sharply critcized Mallick for comments she made in her column “A mighty wind blows through Republican convention” about Sarah Palin, who had just been selected as the Republican party's Vice-Presidential candidate.[4] Jonathan Kay accused Mallick’s of making derogatory comments about Palin's family, specifically citing Mallick statement that "[17-year-old] Bristol has what is known in Britain as the look of the teen mum, the ‘pramface.’ Husband Todd looks like a roughneck; Track, heading off to Iraq, appears terrified. They claim to be family-obsessed while being studiously terrible at parenting. What normal father would want Levi ‘I’m a f--kin’ redneck’ Johnson prodding his daughter?” Kay also accused Mallick of writing that Palin is a tacky, badly dressed redneck who looks like a “porn actress” and that her selection as Vice-President was done to appease the Republican party’s “rural,” “unlettered.” “white trash” base.[5] Barbara Kay, another writer for the National Post, wrote that Mallick's article "Is so beyond the ethical pale that it comes close to hate speech."
