Stones and Glass Houses
Washington Post reporter Dana Milbank noted a recent interview Governor Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) did with conservative New York Times columnist, William Kristol:
McCain had said that racially explosive attacks related to Obama’s former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, are off limits. But Palin told New York Times columnist Bill Kristol in an interview published Monday: “I don’t know why that association isn’t discussed more.”
Did she miss all of March and April?
Besides, perhaps someone in a glass house shouldn’t throw stones about pastors? Nor should someone who, politically, panders to, and personally, “pals around” with, secessionists. Why aren’t those questions being asked?
And, as noted earlier, the kinds of reactions Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) and running mate Sarah Palin are truly appalling, and disgusting.
Worse, Palin’s routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric’s questions for her “less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media.” At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, “Sit down, boy.”
