Quinn, the doyenne of Washington society and one-time media feminist, is in full backtrack mode...

SALLY QUINN: You pointed out the other night that you thought I was being unfair and that I had judged her before I heard her speak and that I knew anything about her and I think you were right.  I thought that she was amazing in her speech. She was funny and smart and poised and confident and she gave a great speech, beautifully delivered,  and I think she is going to be a formidable opponent. So all of that, I think I was wrong about her. And I didn't know anything about her. 
BILL O'REILLY: So not only did Miss Palin do a good job as you just said but your column and other columns like yours rallied the folks to her side and actually helped the McCain-Palin ticket dramatically.
QUINN: Oh, I think you're absolutely right.  I think that there's been a huge backlash against the media...

I thought Biden was the left's official gaff-meister. Apparently he has an understudy. This is true lefty double-speak-- I was for it before I was against it. SOUND FAMILIAR!

The only thing Quinn regrets is the backlash created from the stupidity of their comments. Trust me that is the only thing any of the Palin bashers regret.

Quinn at first said something like "only less-intelligent middle class women will vote for McCain because of Palin. Women who are better educated won't switch from Hillary to McCain/Palin." !!! No wonder she had to back-track! The Mainstream Media has been so disgustingly condescending toward Palin that a back-lash to defend Palin has begun...

Was it Thursday or Friday you said you would not moderate your comments in order to show how "unhinged" the left is? Yeah, you are getting swamped. Am I second?
