I’m with you. I watched this vid and Ziegler is not doing her any favors. It is disingenuous at best for her to complain about media treatment. Some of it was rough and tasteless. But she also joined in by going on SNL. And, as for her family being exposed, she brought them onstage with her on many campaign occasions, introduced them individually, etc. She sent outthe press release re Bristol’s pregnancy and unwed status, also.
She was obviously ill-prepared for her big interviews, yet is quoted saying she believes she should have done more!!
Now, Ziegler showcases her whining. I don’t think it helps anything.
She has a lot on her plate, not that women nowdays care but its reality. Im really glad shes a conservative. Shes a great asset. As far as her running again I would not support it. I think some better candidates will step forward. If she did run again I feel the result would be the same.
I am in two minds about her doing this interview, as it can so easily be contrued as whining about her own hurt feelings. But the main thrust is about the attacks on her family, including recent attacks. All candidates present their families during an election; Palin’s was the only one to be continually slimed and sneared at. She is right to hit back. Once. Let her army of supporters do it from now on. I have an open mind about her prospects in 2012 or 2016. The odds look insurmountable. But my money would be on her for precisely that reason.
