TIME FOR SARAH to grapple. OK, so I understand the concept:

Palin must learn how to convey to her audience that she comprehends and can grapple with the depth and nature of presidential-level problems. This is the fundamental weakness to which most ... criticisms of her are tethered.

Translated, she must become smoother, more “nuanced” to quiet the frayed nerves of the “sophisticated” coastal elites of both parties who despise her. I understand that.

But ...

Frankly, I want those very same sophisticated coastal elites of both parties to understand – and feel – the contempt I have for them.
