No really, is he doing playgirl?

Ya run for office, ya write a book, ya wax controversial, ya takes your lumps.

She’s getting a million and a quarter plus for her book; he’s getting, well whatever -probably a lot of money for his book ummmmm layout I guess… for lack of a better term.

She bashes everyone else for $$$ and attention; he bashes her for $$$ and attention. Seems like a fair shake to me.

Indeed, he’s turned out to be a rather quick study in the world of US politics and celebrity.

He is? Really? Personally I find him soul-shudderingly repugnant, but I guess there’s no accounting for taste.

Anyway, while I take your point about Palin arguing with a child, and found her press release less “over the top” and more “stomach clenchingly nauseous”, I can completely understand why she is responding. This overgrown toddler is attacking her family, and in particular her skills as a parent in caring for her most vulnerable child.

Now, either he’s a vile piece of crap for coming up with these lies, or she’s a vile piece of crap for treating her child that way. Either way, I think you would be hard pressed to find a parent who wouldn’t respond in that situation.

Sorry, Mr Withers, but as much as I would like to join the Palin-bashing, I think her desire to respond is entirely natural, and if the gossip this 19 year old supposed adult is spreading is untrue then he’s getting off lightly if all he has to deal with is a war of words. If someone came after my family that way, I’d smash their kneecaps with a hammer – though I imagine reading Palin’s press release could be slightly more painful.
