"2. Who the ****?!!! is Rove to talk about having a thicker skin, when he is the one taking a cheese grater to 40% of the Republicans out there??"


In general, I agree with you on Rove, but not in this particular case. The question is whether simple speculation over whether she is going to run should be dealt with as if it was an attack designed to sabotage her. I find it a bit odd that someone would engage in behavior that invites such speculation and the complain when that speculation comes.

Palin was not objecting to the mere speculation. Here is the post from her PAC, not her words:

‘Setting The Record Straight: Wrong & Misleading
Posted on August 23, 2011
Three years ago DC pundits predicted with glee the demise of Sarah Palin’s political career. This past weekend their tune changed, citing false information that she has made a decision and set a date regarding a future campaign. Any professional pundit claiming to have “inside information” regarding Governor Palin’s personal decision is not only wrong but their comments are specifically intended to mislead the American public. These are the same tired establishment political games that fuel the 24 hour news cycle and that all Americans will hopefully reject in 2012, and this is more of the “politics-as-usual” that Sarah Palin has fought against throughout her career.

PS - Kudos to CNN for setting the record straight and including Governor Palin’s own words.’
