Cintra Wilson's piece in Salon on Sarah Palin contains more hyperbole than I would have liked to have seen from Wilson, but it does contain the best one-line summary I have seen of Palin anywhere:

"We must regard Sarah Palin as the Carmella Soprano of the GOP -- an enabling wife of organized crime, who sees, hears and speaks no evil of the boys in her old-boy network for whom she does this ideological lap dance."

Camille Paglia's treatment of her in her Salon column is pretty even-handed and is a worthwhile read.  Respectful without losing any critical perspective.  I don't always agree with Camille Paglia, but she always makes me think, and that's a good thing.
