I like Sarah. I'm just a bit worried that she's ‘prickly’ about the insults she gets. Much like Obama. I KNOW she's been targeted much more than Dems but she needs to acknowledge that she's a politician on the national stage. I WISH the Media would go after ANY Dem the way they've gone after Palin but I also need her to get a thicker skin.

She has put up with more personal attacks than any politician in the history of this country, including those that actually did something wrong and deserved microscopic scrutiny. Comparing her treatment by the MSM to the treatment Obama gets from the MSM is beyond absurd. He's the most adored politician of all time by MSM standards. He hasn't seen anything compared to what Palin has had to put up with. And you think she's "prickly"? Doesn't Bush get bashed for not answering critics and standing up for himself? Now you are having a problem with Palin because she fires back once in a while? Are you kidding? The only time she demanded an apology was when Letterman joked that her junior high school daughter got "knocked up" by a baseball player when she was in New York with her mother. Letterman finally apologized, but kept his high-paying job. If Dave had told the same exact joke about either of Obama's daughters, he would have been immediately fired and would be lucky to do weekend weather on a TV station in outer Mongolia.

Palin needs a thicker skin? She just needs to let loose with BOTH barrels more often.

Glad you "like" Sarah, though.

Those of us who know she will be the next President already love her.

My reference to her growing a thicker skin was to the ridicule that Tina Fey aimed at Palin. When Greta asked Palin if she was going out on Halloween, Palin said she was going out as Tina Fey. Granted Fey was waaaay over the top. Many friends quoted Palin but used Fey's bogus lines. I used to say ‘no, that was Tina Fey, not Sarah Palin’. I know GWB didn't fight back hard enough but I don't want Palin to be petty. Tough line to straddle.

False. Lauer asked her if she wanted an apology from him. She declined and said that he didn’t have to apologize to her, but if he wanted to apologize, he should apologize to all the young women of America.
