Former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino is toying with writing a post-White House book on Republican women and how they are misunderstood and maligned by the media and critics. Vowing never to write a tell-all or other book critical of her colleagues, Perino says that if she did put pen to paper, she instead wants to describe how she views Republican women: warm, smart, and nurturing. "Republican women are misunderstood, miscast, and ridiculed," she says.

Uh,who exactly is the target market for this book?
Real men don’t need a book to know this already.
I don’t think GOP women need a book to know this.
And there is no Demonrat that will buy it.
That said,Dana is certainly a lovely lady,and I hate to see her go.

She also says that it was unfair for the elites to attack former GOP vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin, citing in particular the attacks from Hollywood women. "I don't know why women treat each other like that."

She may look good, but with that remark
she appears to be dumber than a box of rocks.

Agreed, Heaton or Dana Perino herself.

The MSM now feels completely free to opening and frequently characterize all conservatives as ignorant rubes. This is even worse for conservative women.

Yet, conservatives in general are PROVEN to be more self-reliant, happy and psychologically balanced.

It was just a comment on how obvious it should be why women treat each other poorly (sometimes).

As for your comment, low in so many ways. Perhaps he was moral and only has ever “had” 1 woman, the moral way.

I hope she writes this book. It is a subject that needs urgent attention.

It is appropriate that Noonan’s picture is black and white, because she jumped ship long ago.

Huh? Huh? I’ll let myself out...

Hey! I thought it was funny!

...and good for the very lovely and erudite Dana Perino. I'll look forward to reading her book.
