It really irks me when people conflate non-prestige dialects with ignorance, stupidity, or other negative characteristics. There are multiple dialects in our country. When you mock a person because of their dialect, you are displaying your own bigotry.
And from a political stand point, you open you and your party to charges of elitism and cultural snobbery. Attack Palin’s politics and lack of substance, but not her dialect.
The Vice President cannot be fired, only impeached.
