Even Sarah Palin's kids deserve privacy
The Chicago Tribune ^ | December 2, 2014 | Heidi Stevens

The hypocrisy hunters are on high alert, calling out the media for claiming that politicians' kids are off-limits, even as we gleefully pillory the Palin children..

They're right, to a point. A Washington Examiner piece on Monday points out that CNN anchor Carol Costello recently had to issue an apology for her treatment of audio involving Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol, who was recounting an alleged assault to police in Alaska.

"I'm just going to come right out and say it," Costello said, smirking. "This is quite possibly the best minute and a half of audio we've ever come across — well, come across in a long time, anyway."

Costello's remarks were ugly and insensitive, to be sure. So is most of the mud slung at the former Alaskan governor's children.

You can argue that Bristol, Palin's oldest daughter, transcended her role as politician's daughter when she signed on for "Dancing With The Stars" in 2010 and a Lifetime series, "Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp," in 2012. But that would imply that we left Bristol (and the other Palin children) alone prior to 2010, and we all know that's baloney....

Carol not fired yet? I guess going after children is endorsed by CNN

Combing that mop and not showing half where she's shaved her hair off sure makes a world of difference.

I must be missing something. A writer complains about a double liberal standard, and the response is to complain about how she looks?

Heidi, you were decisively overruled in 2008. After everybody in the Palin family down to Trig got torched, “wives (now spouses) and kids are off limits” is dead, dead, dead. None of you guys want to say it, now that it’s your guy’s little princesses getting targeted. I just did.

A man with a nose that big would be assumed by the ladies to be packing extra large

Size queens pay attention to that stuff
