Career Assassination Primer

Check out this quick piece about Sarah Palin in New York Magazine, written by Chris Rovzar. I find his tentative conclusions disquieting:

If those ethics charges were really a key element to her stepping down, what's the takeaway? That the very politics of personal destruction she has so often railed against are, in fact, a very effective way of toppling your enemies? That making up unprovable accusations is a quick, inexpensive, and easy way to push aside a politician you don't like?

I fear an ugly business just got uglier.
