Sarah Palin is no Ronald Reagan
Most of all, Palin could have spoken to us as the devoted mother of five who felt the pain of the parents who lost their child, and of the children who lost their parents in that savage attack. In fact, the words of comfort she did offer felt almost like an afterthought: Oh, yeah, sorry about all those people who were shot … but did you hear the nasty things the liberals are saying about me? She desperately needed someone to tell her, “Sarah, I know the attacks on you sting, but don’t you really want to focus on the attacks that killed six Americans and wounded 13 more?”
