I love how Biden is about the dumbest guy in modern political history with more mistakes in 1 interview than most politicians have in a lifetime but since he is a Liberal he gets a pass. Obama even has more slip ups than most Republicans yet he also gets a pass.
Palin on the other hand being in the GOP does nothing and gets labeled an idiot... but then again all Conservatives get either the idiot label or evil mastermind label. I can always tell who is the most Conservative in the GOP without even hearing them speak, all I got to do is see who the media attacks the worst and chances are thats the best guy. Same works in reverse for who is the weakest link they praise (McCain) that is until he actually goes up against their guy.
On the topic I felt her request was ok, she just went about it the wrong way. Working so 'hard' to become a Senator, she should have learned some tact. I think this whole thing is being way overblown.
