It is nice to see the Bulldog w/ Lipstick start to hit back against how she was treated by the media.
“It’s going to be interesting to see how that plays out and I think that as we watch that we will perhaps be able to prove that there is a class issue here also that was such a factor in the scrutiny of my candidacy versus, say, the scrutiny of what her candidacy may be.”
So far the media has been pretty low key about Caroline Kennedy only saying she is unqualified to be a Senator. One thing you do know is that there aren't teams of reporters sneaking around Boston or New York trying to drum up dirt on her or her family. Also there haven't been any false rumors circulated about the legitimacy of her daughters or any of that crap they smeared Palin with. This is an interesting strikeback against Couric too:
Palin criticized Couric for the way CBS “spliced it together,” saying that “so many of the topics brought up were not portrayed as accurately as they could have, should have, been.”
She also expressed frustration with Couric’s characterization of her since the interviews. After being shown a clip of Couric complaining to David Letterman that no post-election interviewer has asked Palin why she would not tell the CBS anchor what newspapers she reads, the Alaska governor responded: “Because, Katie, you’re not the center of everybody’s universe.”
Also what does it matter what newspapers she reads? Is that some kind of bar that a VP candidate needs to hurdle? If you posed this question to a candidate in 8 years there is a good chance that they will say none. I mean sitting down to read a physical paper is going to be seen in 10 years in about the same way as cranking your Model T to get it started is seen today. It will just be a quaint pastime of another era.
