I am afraid you are quite correct.
My thoughts on Gov. Palin are a matter of record. She really needs to pick her battles more wisely. She is a sitting Governor. Have a little class about yourself (as my students would say)
Like Letterman, the blogger who posted this photo (which I haven't seen) would not have the attention of a wider audience had Gov. Palin not become so personally involved. You cannot purge the Internet from every idiot who posts online (Lucky for me! :)
Here's the response I would like hear: "I haven't seen the photo (heard that joke) I am far too busy working on (insert latest project of substance)to look at (listen to) that sort of thing. I'm happy to grant interviews discussing (project of substance)"

Are you aware that this is the same woman whose filing all those ethics compaints that are costing Sarah $500,000 +.
This woman needs to be brought down.
So you think jokes of rape and pedophilia of 14 year old girls, and lampooning of Downs Syndrome babies is okay, their mothers shouldn’t object to this at all.
Good grief!
I’m a Palin supporter, but I’ve got to agree with you both. It’s a crudely made political-cartoon-like statement, not a commentary or attack on Trig.
Palin comes off as thin-skinned and as if she’s hiding behind her kids. I understand the Palins’ pent-up desire to fight back, but this sort of focus gives them the wrong kind of publicity—on several levels.
Something like this, and the Letterman “joke”, needed exactly the responses that have been given. She didn’t appear flustered or angry she simply pointed out what was wrong with both. You can’t simply let things go without a response. It’s far too passive behavior for someone in an executive position.
