There is a video of Newt Gingrich talking to MSNBC at newt.org. The interesting part of the interview is the fact that as soon as Newt asks the reporter to list Barack Obams's accomplishments (after Newt has listed Sarah Palin's), the reporter ends the interview. Amazing. I still find it very interesting that the focus is on Sarah Palin's experience--not on anything about John McCain. I also think her Alaskan background is interesting. Do these people realize that they are messing with a lady who shoots moose?
I am also concerned about the way the media has decided to target Sarah Palin. After years of 'women can do anything men can do--even go into combat', we are hearing criticism of the fact that she has chosen to run for public office in the middle of raising a (horrors!!!) less than perfect family. Those of us who live in the real world (with less than perfect families) are cheering. Evidently, she has the support of her husband and children who all work together to make this possible. I'm sure all of us know people from large families or with large families and have seen the lessons the children learn growing up about sharing and helping.
At any rate, I question the wisdom of attacking anyone who shoots moose!
