Heres a newsflash. Sarah Palin is not perfect. she will never be a perfect candidate. and you will never find a perfect candidate..
I think it took guts to give that speech.
Nobody’s perfect. It’s nice to see you say that, and I think it is important for everybody to remember. Sometimes I find supporters of a candidate too quick to defend things that look so clearly to be mistakes, thinking that acknowledging a mistake is a bad thing.
I think this was a mistake, and I don’t fault Palin for it beyond the specific fault of making the mistake. If every politician was disqualfied for using the wrong words once, we wouldn’t have any politicians.
It’s better I think to attack the unfairness of over-punishment for a trivial mistake of language, than to try to defend the mistake of language.
