The story, from the UK Daily Mail:
"A teenager who sent threatening letters to...US politician Sarah Palin has been arrested in her home state of Alaska.
"Shawn Christy, 19, from Pennsylvania, had been issued a court order in October warning him to keep away from the Republican former-vice presidential candidate.
"But Mrs Palin's family have revealed that Mr Christy was held by the FBI in Anchorage, 50 miles from her home town of Wasilla. Authorities have ordered him to return to Pennsylvania.
...
"He even sent receipts from a gun purchase to Mrs Palin and her longtime friend, Kristan Cole."

And if Kathy Griffin can attack Palin's kids, then everyone on the Right Blogosphere can attack Malia and Sasha Obama.
And should Andrew Sullivan be singled out?
"We'll keep chronicling the odd lies of the whackjob from Wasilla, but there is another category that she has been peddling in that requires real scrutiny. The odd lies are demonstrable denials of empirical reality. Her novella, Going Rogue, was riddled with them. But she is also adept at putting lies out there that are much more familiar - classic political lies, either to defend allies or attack opponents."
and this:
"This counterfactual really does help reveal that for much of the Republican right, Israel simply isn't a foreign country at all. For many Christianists, it is part of a civilizational war of Judeo-Christianity (an obvious oxymoron) against Islam. Not Islamism, Islam. Ever wonder why Sarah Palin, the next GOP nominee, wore a twinned Israeli-American flag lapel for an address to the Tea Party convention? Ever wonder why every rule we normally apply to foreign countries is automatically suspended when it comes to Israel?"
Or you can go to the Daily Dish and search for "Evil Sarah Palin,"
Someone should send Andrew Sullivan the book: All Politics is Local to show him how partisans do their work in America.
UPDATE 8:53 PM PST: Welcome Instapundit readers! Subscribe or hit the Tip jar! I will be both New Media and a delegate at the California Republican party's Spring Convention in Two weeks. Also, keep an eye on the American Spectator Print Edition in April about "How to win CA back by re-taking Los Angeles," (a theme here in the Valley)
"Christianists"... you can just feel the hatred oozing out of that one.
