Insightful, but it recycles a lot of the same information about Sarah Palin, and it comes a little late in the overall coverage of her pick as John McCain's VP.

Steinem gives a strong opinion, well presented in defense of women's issues.

She may wish this is not so, but that does not make for accurate journalism.
