One of Professor Scharlott's theories, interestingly, is that conservatives have been extraordinarily effective at shaming anyone who has even brought up the matter, let alone investigated it.

The question Rove raised was a seemingly innocent one — does Hillary have the mental stamina to be president? Meanwhile, Sullivan's theory about Trig Palin's true parentage was more of a suggestion that Palin was willing to go to despicable lengths to maintain her public image as a wholesome folk leader.

Rove was concern trolling ; Sullivan was just plain trolling. Now, in a daring feat of Narrative Reappropriation, Palin is calling Hillary Clinton dumb while admonishing the media for doing the same thing to her in It's the type of quick-change political maneuvering that takes a healthy sense of irony to understand.
