If she did, then she doesn’t have the class necessary to be President of the United States. Cheney respectfully referred to her as “Governor Palin.” If she is petty and classless enough to fire an ad hominem, then she isn’t who I believe her to be. Let’s hope she didn’t mean anything by it beyond a simple informality.
Cheney doesn't misfire, and yet he did. That was no error.
Did you expect it to come up roses with Gov. Palin on the receiving end?
Gov. Palin doesn't misfire either, and yet she temporarily omitted Cheney's title. That was no error either.
I would re-phrase your statement: anyone willing to be used as a punching bag does not have the strength of character to be President.
