Spends time?? How much time to release a statement? It’s the media and all the viewers that spent the time discussing the pervert. She did what ANY parent would/should do and in NO WAY do she belittle speaking out against the pervert attacking her child.
She made several statements regarding the Letterman thing. Sure she did what a parent could do and stand up against the ignorant comments that Letterman made, but I think sometimes as a national figure, if you take the bait and react to ever attack from second rate comics, it takes you off your target, which should be what is wrong with Washington DC right now.
By folksy, I am referring to ways of speaking that we don’t mind in a governor from Alaska but may turn some people off who are looking at her to be president. Do you think Obama would have done so well if he spoke like a gangsta rapper? Remember, to win, Sarah needs more than Freepers, who are more informed that the general public. She needs to convince Democrats that she offers a viable alternative to Obama. With a national media that is in love with the O, and will be for the next election cycle. And for the record, I thought Palin was the best thing that happened to the McCain ticket. But just like I think Palin needs to lose some of the “folksy” I would also say that Bobby Jindal won’t win a national campaign if he keeps talking like he’s speaking to fourth graders. I like him too, but what works locally doesn’t always play nationally.
