CanOfCorn Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 06:54 PM) I was reading a Time article where one of her aides/friends/advisors was saying she actually started digging on the Internet to read the dirt about her, reading liberal blogs etc. No politician actually does that or they'd go crazy. Could you imagine if Bush did that when he was president and then started whining about everything instead of brushing it off or ignoring it like he did (and like Obama does now)? He wouldn't have been able to function if he did that. They have "people" who do that for them...I'm not going to comment on Palin's intelligence, cuz I don't know her...BUT, she seems to me the perennial beauty queen. Always worrying about what other people think of her. You aren't going to make it in politics with that attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 "Nobody should have hurt feelings. My goodness, this is politics! Politics is rough-and-tumble, and people need to get thick skin - just like I've got," - soon-to-be-ex Gov. Sarah Palin, in a Nov. 5, 2008 interview recently uploaded to Vimeo.

Not unless she's been stealing from the legal fund or something vastly beyond what this reads as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 The last time an ethics committee found her to be acting improperly, she brushed it off (brushing it off so strongly so as to distort what the report actually said to the point of almost saying the opposite, i.e. stopping just short of flatly lying), and the status quo remained. People who hate her called BS, people who supported her took what she said at face value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
