I've had doubts that the reason the liberal elites attack Sarah Palin so viciously is because she scares them. I don't doubt it any longer.

Yesterday, Sen. Kerry, when talking about Gov. Sanford's disappearance, told a room full of liberals that he wished it were Sarah Palin that would disappear.

Kerry's botched jokes have had a way of revealing his true feelings in the past like when he said to a group of students that if they did not study hard and do their homework they would likely "get stuck in Iraq." That's what Kerry thought of people in the military.

But after they attacked her a funny thing happened. After the general election, everyone expected Sarah Palin to go back to Alaska to lick her wounds. Run silent, run deep for a few years. But she didn't go away.
