I was nonetheless concerned when I read her lawyer say the Letterman incident was a factor. If she cannot stand up to him, how can she represent us as POTUS against Putin, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, etc.? To me a POTUS needs to have thicker skin, and be above those sorts of petty tricks. She fell for it.
To me the best response, if asked, would have been, “Lots of stupid people say lots of stupid things, and if I spent all my time responding to them all I’d have no time to run the state”.
She did stand up to him and he apologized, it was a weak apology but probably the best you can get from scum. She has to look out for her children first and foremost. She is not running away from her antagonists, she is about to go for the jugular now that she has dispensed with the ball and chain of being Alaska’s governor.
You seem to keep forgetting how she got to where she is today, by standing up to powerful forces and winning. Sometimes resigning your post is the best strategy to meet long term goals when that position becomes a roadblock. She is no shrinking violet, unlike most pubbies today.
Certainly she is the “ballsiest” pubbie out there, at least in the public spotlight. Mitt and Nannybee are pathetic in comparison.

Mr. Hume:
I've just read your lousy review of Margaret's concert. I've come to the conclusion that you are an "eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay."
It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you're off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.
Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!
Pegler, a gutter snipe, is a gentleman alongside you. I hope you'll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry.
H.S.T.
Of course Margret Truman giving a bad performance is a far nastier accusation than 14 year old Willow having sex with a baseball player.
