I would probably be cognizant of the fact that my mother is a national figure and would 1) not get drunk before attending the party and 2) calmly gather up my family and leave the site.
Aaaaaand we have the correct answer, folks.
Don’t shame your family. Just say no to intoxication. Sheesh. Their mom already has a target on her back. Have some dignity.
Seems to me the Palins must know they’re going to run into loud mouth Leftists here and there. Let them say anything they like. Walk away or leave. Don’t get into a vulgar shouting match with them. You can’t win that sort of encounter.
This isn’t about wimping out. It’s about being the class act or not.
Does it prove the Palins right if they win a big brawl? No. It just makes them look extremely common.
I’m sorry, but getting too drunk and brawling at a social function like this is a looser thing to do.
