I agree - Palin just lowers herself closer to their level by commenting.

Are you people freaking kidding me? This isn't just some punk off the street - this is the kid who was supposedly going to marry Palin's daughter and is the father of her child. He went on national television and made a bunch of accusations. It would have been beyond ignorant NOT to respond, not to mention sacrificing family honor for political expediency. Now, if Palin had issued some Jerry Springer-type of response, I'd agree that she shot herself in the foot, but the statement was classy and to the point, without being petty or argumentative. It basically said that they were disappointed in Levi's behavior.

Worrying about what the media will do with the story is pointless. The media will lie, distort, and accuse regardless of Palin's response. At least this way, some dignity and pride is defended. You can't just ignore the kid - he was an insider. His accusations must be addressed or the media would use that to attack Palin.

Have you people been beaten down so long that you've lost even the will to defend yourselves?

I think she's just fed up with all the false allegations and back stabbings. OTOH, she can't just sit back and let this attack on her daughter be overlooked. She welcomed that young man on the stage with her, and this is the reward her family receives?

I think Gov Sarah is just stuck in the middle.
