The way her staff handled this was professional and appropiate. What else is she to do? She sets the record straight and provides us a clear statement with facts and charts. You can’t always meekly take the hits. The record is set straight and those not drinking the Kool-aid now have a hard reference.
GWB: not fighting back was stupid, incompetent, damaging.
Palin: fighting back is whining, tiring, foolish.
I agree that she should not take ANY hits, and in retrospect her staff may have handled it wonderfully. My concern, and this has nothing to do with her, is that the dems are never going to stop with this incessant nickel and diming.
What we must do, is never waver in our support for her and set straight those who might not know the facts. It will be interestng to see what’s next.
