Have now read this whole thread and have decided that my own philosophy, “to thine own self, be true,” trumps the hypocrisy of praising someone who is unworthy of praise.
I will always remember that during an interview about Elian Gonzalez. ferraro’s exact words were, “Send the kid back!”
I looked at her and thought she was a cold, hard woman. Nothing she has done since has changed my mind.
So I am sorry for those who loved her. I am sure they will miss her. But that is about as far as my hypocrisy can go.
As for Sarah, she did the right thing, even the appropriate thing for a public figure, a woman, that the left hates with such passion. She has stature and grace. I don’t.
My mama always said, if you can’t say something nice about somebody, don’t say anything. All I can say is “bless her heart.”
