Give the lady a break, will ya?

So now it’s wrong to be a strong, independent-minded woman? Stories about how Sarah Palin is “going rogue” because she said a few (relatively minor) things that weren’t vetted by McCain’s aides are being played as though she had warned that America would be faced with a difficult crisis should McCain be elected president… And so what if she’s positioning herself for 2012? Who could blame her? (And, huh, aren’t we supposed to admire ambitious women?) Watch the first minute and a half or so of this video and tell me: Am I being too soft on Palin or are reporters desperately picking nits?
