The side effects they have to deal with are their own... ummmmmmmm... "reward." ;)

It’s a classic movie plot. Think “Woman of the Year,” with Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. At first the man and the woman hate each other, then they fall into each other’s arms? Well, feature the fight that has erupted between the president of the AFL-CIO, Richard Trumka, and Governor Palin of Alaska.
The leader of Big Labor went to Anchorage to give a speech and attacked Mrs. Palin, accusing her of doing everything from writing notes on her hands to coming out with conspiracy theories about President Obama and his “death panels” to getting close to calling for violence. “Sometimes — about Sarah Palin — you’ve just got to laugh,” Mr. Trumka said. “ . . . But it’s not really funny.”
Mrs. Palin turned around and gave as good as she got, or better, in one of her patented Facebook postings, a demarche headlined “Union Brothers and Sisters, Join Our Commonsense Cause!” She wrote as a one-time card-carrying sister of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and United Steelworkers, cards she held by virtue of her husband’s membership in the two unions.
She asserted that it was “kind of ironic that a union boss has the gall to accuse anyone of threatening violence,” particularly in light of what she called the “violent attempts” by the Service Employees “to intimidate those who wanted to make their voices heard in last year’s town halls.”
She argued the real jobs problem was being caused by the policies of President Obama. Suddenly the Internet came alive like the silver screen, so much so that a columnist of the Washington Post, E.J. Dionne, issued a long complaint.
Seems that Mr. Trumka can’t get anyone to listen to, let alone write about, his usual speeches about what Mr. Dionne characterizes as “social CONTINUE

Agreed. They both do a great job.
I could care less what he thinks but I do have to work with him so I will not discuss any further....He told me that his father was an Egyptian Interpreter to Bush Sr with the UN....He said his father used to say that Regan was the most powerful president....
PALIN/BACHMANN 2012 !!
You forgot to show the windshield wipers on the monitor.........
I'm sorry, Sarah who? I'm not sure as to whom we are referring.
In order to better prepare myself for the November elections, I have decided to swear off TV and Talk Radio, and my limit my newspaper reading strictly to the classifieds and the comic section until then. See how the other 99% lives, as it were.
(Note: since it is published fortnightly, the hard copy of National Review stays. Every two weeks is plenty of time to catch up with politics. I swear, I will do my very best not to read my NRO emails)
How's it all working out you ask? Well, let's see, it's been 3 days now (with only minor lapses over to the online WSJ) Friends tell me that I'm a changed woman, with varying degrees of approval.
A typical comment is, "Hey, thank goodness you are finished with that silly primary nonsense. Now, you can get back to normal. There's nothing to fear from John McCain going back to the Senate. You'll see."
I'm miserable.
PS: I am delighted to "see" you pissant! You make me smile. I renew my offer: I will gladly cede my 19th Amendment rights, provided that both the 16th and 17th Amendments are repealed as well. Think about it.
The malignant tick will bore its way into every Sarah thread from now on, unless Jim exterminates him.
Go to that link next time and scroll a few posts
Reverse it, then we can talk!
Yes! She's everything you said, plus she knows how to fight for our ideals and values, but she does it with class. Sarah has a servant's heart. She's genuine.
Congratulations. You have made my point even better than I did.
I guess I can’t be a “real” Palin supporter if I don’t agree with you.
It's her message and her understanding for and love of the Constitution. Period.
You betcha!
Good, then the comment was not intended for you.
But thanks for the reply.
Oh, yes, You’re right about that. Sarah is a lot much smarter than her detractors credit her.
You read her FaceBook entry addressed to the union membership, right? The link is embedded in this editorial.
I almost know of one..........
Um...what?
And no, I never commented on how people slobbered over Bush. From what I remember, Bush didn't have an easy go of it here.
No thanks.
He needs a shrink big time.
