And the winner is Sarah Palin. As Democratic Congressional leaders continued to call for Anthony Weiner's resignation and Newt Gingrich struggled to jump start his failing campaign in Los Angeles the usually hostile main stream media turned patronizingly kind to Sarah Palin.
"The Palin that emerges from the first cut at nearly 25,000 emails released by the state of Alaska Friday is touchingly authentic, responding to the news she’s been tapped for the national ticket with the words, “Can you flippinbelieveit ?!”
She comes across as practical and not doctrinaire, as when she explains at length to an aide, early in her term, why she opposes a bear hunt in a wildlife preserve: “I am a hunter. I grew up hunting — some of my best memories growing up are of hunting with my dad to help feel (sic) our freezer… I want Alaskans to have access to wildlife… BUT — he’s asking if I support hunting the bears in the sanctuary? No, I don’ t … Many Alaskan and Outside visitors view these animals on the McNeil river, within the sanctuary, and, as my parents have reported back after their viewing trip, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see such beauty on that river.” Reports The Economist, which actually has a few kind comments about Michele Bachmann too.
The Washington Post is pleased to confirm that she is Trig's mother after all. It does note that she doesn't like bad press and once was advised to play Tina Fey in a SNL skit that never materialized.
