I don't care about Romney but I'm sure it brought some ridicule to that young girl

I'd say Palin is more the penultimate conservative crybaby. Her entire political career has been about playing the victim. Her critics, the "lamestream media", her former advisors, everyone's out to get her because she's a po' widdle hockey mom and a "true patriot". She's the ultimate case study in fundamentalist persecution complex; the kind of person who gets off on the feeling of martyrdom because it serves to convince them that they are in league with Jesus Christ. Another group that follows this template to the letter is the Westboro Baptist Church (aka the Church of "God Hates Fags&quot . They antagonize everyone, so that whenever anyone retaliates, they can clutch their chests and wail and moan about how they are being persecuted for their unwavering devotion to the Scripture. It is a sick compulsion, and one that is equally on display in these two merging factions.

Speaking of unflattering.Some of her ridiculous get-ups and behavior needed some rethinking.

Sarah Palin needs to get a life. Why was she even asked about it? Who gives a ding dong what she thinks? She is in no position to make a judgment about what is fair, not fair, or newsworthy.

been the political figure in this picture. Instead of being affronted, I think both of them would have had the sense to laugh it off, "Yeah, when cameras are following you around everywhere, sooner or later, someone's gonna catch you looking goofy. It's a good thing I wasn't hired for my looks."

At least we can rest assured that the girl will not receive threats on her self or her business...or comments on her sexuality after this "unpresidential" photo of a presidential candidate.
