I’m all for people rallying around Sarah and defending her EVERY time someone wants to ridicule her, demean her, or subject her to depersonalization.
If we’re really serious about wanting her to become the leader of the free world, we can’t tolerate jokes like this when it come time for her to deal with public figures like Putin or Chavez or whomever.
I am glad people reacted to this on sarah’s behalf.
yes, she’s beautiful, but she isnt a contestant in a beauty pageant anymore.
We could say the same thing about 0bama. In fact, we KNOW that his being so thin-skinned and unable to take a joke is part of what makes him incapable of dealing with people like Putin or Chavez. If you ARE going to be the leader of the free world, then you have to be able to take a few verbal potshots without whining and complaining about it.
Don't forget that it was also Chris Wallace who said that the 0bama administration is the biggest bunch of crybabies that he's ever dealt with. Is that really worth emulating?
The thing is this, Gov. Palin herself has not weighed in on this matter, and for all we know, she may not even care enough about it to do so. If she doesn't care about a stupid joke, then why should we?
