I worry that the media will use this to reinforce their argument that she isn’t ready to lead. They’ll say that she can’t even recognize whether she’s talking to the President of France. Of course, I think the whole thing is ridiculous, but the media will push this if they think it will help Obama.
I definitely share your concern but hopefully it will not hurt too much. If it takes Auntigate off the radar that would suck.
MSNBC has been particularly vicious on this story tonight.
The other networks seem to be overlooking this, because they realize it creates a backlash for Palin.
MSNBC needs to be put out of business in 09 and we need to get really aggressive with their advertisers.
