If it were your daughter, I would understand that you can't be everywhere. What's wrong with a little understanding?
This is me in the pissed off slash wtf-did-you-do-that-for mode (especially after reading Freepers going gaga over Palin and her family for the past few days as if they were perfect).
After a while, this issue will sink, and I will move on and accept it. There are egregious flaws (McCain has many), and there are minor flaws (this is one of them, and it will remain so, unless Palin's family is riddled with willful "mistakes" and that interferes with her ability to carry out her job).
Am I making any sense here?
