"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
What a hoot!
Some Romneyphants have no shame.
One of my favorite college football coaches is a strong Catholic and believer in family values. He's very conservative and reportedly a republican although I don't know that. When my team went through some tough spells last year and some players had bad games, he refused to bash them and name names to the press. He had a quote that stayed with me.
"We build people up. We don't tear down people here."
That's the attitude the Palin family has taken, and is the correct course to take. That's not to say that this should be condoned, but the most important thing now is how the situation is handled. It is handled the right way. Build people up and not tear them down. It is how I'd handle this as a grandfather if that happens before I expect it to.
