Well, here’s where I disagree. Here’s what Mrs. Palin put on Facebook the very next day:
“I love my Bristol! My straight-shooter is one of the strongest young women you’ll ever meet. I have to say this as a proud mama: right up there with their work ethic and heart for those less fortunate, my kids’ defense of family makes my heart soar!”
Clearly, whatever happened, Mrs. Palin wasn’t too upset with her daughter, mother of a 5 year old, being bombed and brawling in public. Quite the contrary. So the whole “good Christian family” bit really takes a hit.
BUT, your point is well taken. The goings on in Oregon are MUCH more interesting :)
People are going to view that situation differently and I don’t see any minds being changed hashing it over and again. I am willing to accept that raw humanity isn’t always pretty and I think the Palins are pretty solid in spite of this.
