Poor little "hockey mom"

---


Scenario: Poor everyday hockey mom abused and "grilled" by the big bad elite "librul" media.

They (AM talk radio, RW pundits, etc...) are hyping this ABC interview as a "grilling". It's part of trying to get sympathy votes by framing Palin as the victim.

Never mind they billed her as an executive commander.
Never mind they billed her as a pit bull, and a maverick who can field dress a moose.
No, you are suppose to forget all that and now turn on Charlie Gibson for his, at best, average interview.

1. We need a vice president who is a life support system for lipstick.
No gravitas needed.

2. This is absolutely brilliant

They define her either as a tough leader (pit bull) or, when she is "picked on", she becomes the average "hockey mom" to garner sympathy.

Rove is not dumb.

3. Gibson did an excellent job.
More journalists need to do what he did.

4. Charlie Gibson is Mr. Vanilla Ice Cream.
He's a bore. He is not dumb, but they didn't give her the toughest guy on the block. He's a nice guy. If she thinks that was hard, she's not cut out for this league. Obviously.
