Sarah Palin Watch: The Parental Police

Ah, yes. The MOMMY WARS and the PARENTAL POLICE.

Columnists in the mainstream media, who ordinarily would not dare to question the premise that mothers should be able to work and aspire to successful careers, are now the parental police, probing into how it is Palin will attend to her duties as a mother. Social conservatives meanwhile have been cast in the unusual role of defending a non-stay-at-home mom and fending off suggestions that Palin should — how did Hillary Clinton put it? — stay in the kitchen and bake cookies.

Sarah Palin, you’ve come along way, baby.
