Was I right, or what?

Back when Sarah Palin's candidacy was announced, I said:
Has anyone else noticed that while our new VP candidate has lived in Alaska since infancy, she was actually born in Sandpoint? (How long do you think it'll be before the media get hold of that fact and make racist innuendos?...)

Looks like it took 37 days. Okay, so this woman isn't mainstream media. She's a professor of history at some college back east, who thinks she knows all about us northwesterners.

Here's the climax of the stupidity:
There is no evidence that Palin was ever affiliated with white-supremacist groups during her years in Idaho or at home in Alaska. On the other hand, the beliefs of ultraconservative, evangelical churches like her family's come dangerously close to those of the Christian Identity movement of those years. Likewise, Palin's husband was a member of a political party whose members favored secession for Alaska, suggesting an affiliation with radical antistatism.

East-coast ignorami are so cute. Think I'll head over to Starbucks and see who's interested in discussing the Biblical insights in Mein Kampf over a double skinny half-caff. Unless my pastor calls to invite me to a lynchin' at the recyclin' center or to go out and drag some of them homer-sexshuals behind his Prius. This bein' the northwest and all.
