Sarah needs to rise above this. She’s only calling more attention to lowlifes like McFarland (sp?), who stoop to the lowest forms of humor and cater to the lowest common denominator. At least South Park and SNL are funny, on occasion. I just don’t get the appeal of Family Guy.
But anyway, she knows as well as anyone else that people with no other talent to speak of will stoop to base humor for a cheap laugh. They’ve been with us since the birth of theater and they’re not going away.
If Sarah’s going to be the next Reagan, she needs to carry herself as such. Ron’s family took some lumps in the media too, but he always carried himself with dignity. Trig’s going to discover soon enough that there are mean people out there who will make fun of his condition, and they’re not all on the schoolyard. It’s what you do about them that counts.
Very good point. Though Reagan and his family were often attacked viciously, I can' think of a single example when he complained about it or called attention to it.
