What made her pull a 180?
Fear. Fear of being transparently illogical, ridiculous, and a cranky feminazi in the face of the Conservative Vice Presidential Candidate.
That, or this lady does not want to be left off (possibly) the White House Guest lists for a long, long time.
Sally Quinn is a true believer. She didn't think Palin was incapable in the first place -- just unacceptable -- and she hasn't changed her mind.
BILL O'REILLY: So not only did Miss Palin do a good job as you just said but your column and other columns like yours rallied the folks to her side and actually helped the McCain-Palin ticket dramatically.
QUINN: Oh, I think you're absolutely right. I think that there's been a huge backlash against the media...
Like a lot of worthless RATs, she's probably jumping off the sinking SS Obama to the solid terra firma of the Palin continent.
when it is a choice between her infant son and the responsibility of her potential elected office, it is pretty obvious she is going to put work first. Anything else would be betrayal of the trust of taxpayers (and voters).
Flame away - this woman knew very well the deal before accepting the VP offer with a newborn in arms, and has planned accordingly. There is no such thing as a full-time mom and full-time vice-president in the same person.
who is Sally Quinn, never heard of her before.
She must have gotten at least one or two emails complaining about her little meltdown, like maybe 10,000 or so. Supposedly Us magazine lost at least that many subscribers over their cover picture.
You can p*ss off all of the people some of the time, or some of the people all of the time, but you can’t p*ss off half of the nation all of the time, because you sell a newspaper and your sales are already dropping like a stone.
I saw the interview with O’Reilly and it didn’t sound like much of a “turnaround” to me.
What DID NOT HAPPEN: She is truly sorry and wrong.
What DID HAPPEN: She and her evil cabal realized their attacks were generating huge blowback and were a huge mistake.
ANY interviewer with a grain of integrity would immediately throw the comparison of "qualifications" between Palin and Obama right back in the face of the talking-point rat they are interviewing. Not surprisingly, I didn't hear O'Reilly do that (although I could have missed it).
Further down on the page, there’s a link to an article on “Us” Magazine (cover story “Babies, Lies and Scandal”).
Thousands of people canceling their subscription to the magazine.
I’m glad Quinn reconsidered. I hope others in the media have a similar positive revelation.
Sally is as stupid and biased today as she was yesterday. But she does not want to be the “we hate Sarah” spokesperson.
Now, why didn’t BOR ask her if Edwards could have been POTUS while having to care for his dying wife?
Perhaps some in the media are beginning to realize that the Democrats have nominated a big bag of wind for president.
If her turnaround is real, then I assume she saw her own bloody head in a mirror (along with that of most other women) after her knee-jerk learned-in-the-cradle partisan attempt to sink the Republicans cause her to blundgeon all women with a slegehammer.
It just shows what utter crocks most of these liberal “journalists” really are. Occasionally their manical assults on all things conservative come back to haunt themselves.
Let’s not get too excited about this folks...60 days is a loooooooooooong ways to go. Anything can happen.
The MSM will do everything possible to ruin the Palin family in the next few weeks. Count on it.
And the RATS are capable of ANYTHING! We all know this so stand firm.
They keep talking about McCain’s age and health. Come on, Reagan was elected for his second term and he was older than McCain. McCain’s 96 year old mom looks and acts much younger than her years. I mean they’re propping Robert Byrd up, and he’s 3rd in the line of succession to the Presidency...but I don’t see anybody mentioning his age or health.
Remember people, she was a third rate reporterette on an obscure section of the Washington Post until she started tuning Ben Bradlee's carburetor.
She is as meaningful as old socks to the political process.
Ms. Quinn was one of the first responders. Her job, along with a few other media elite, was to ignite the fires of bias and wait for the tag along media to pick up the cause - piling on until the blaze became a firestorm, driving Palin off the ticket.
Unfortunately for Quinn, things did not go according to plan. Palins speech, along with Fred's and Rudy's was a thunderstorm drowning out the message and the messenger. The flood of backlash left Quinn and others like her drowning in a sea of criticism about media bias.
This "apology" is nothing more than Quinn crawling into the lifeboat. Quinn, finally, got the new talking points memo. She will be quiet for a couple weeks until she reaches dry ground. Then, more cautiously, she will try to destroy Palin - first will faint praise and then with "serious questions."
Maybe her husband lit her up for making all fathers out to be dirt bags. Given her job, he probably does more child care than she does.
