Sarah Palin Fires Back – Couric and Fey Cash In – Caroline Kennedy

It seems everyone but the “real” Sarah Palin has cashed in on “Sarah Palin.” And it would appear the petite “Reaganite” might have had her fill of being picked on.  Call her what you want, but for me … She’s who I would want to be when I grow up — if I weren’t already grown up that is!

 

During an interview with conservative Filmmaker John Ziegler, (not my John Ziegler) for his upcoming documentary film “How Obama God Elected,” Palin said, “I’ve been interested to see how Caroline Kennedy will be handled and if she will be handled with kid gloves or if she will be under such a microscope.”

 

She also said, “It’s going to be interesting to see how that plays out; and I think that as we watch that we will perhaps be able to prove that there is a class issue here, also that, was such a factor in the scrutiny of my candidacy versus, say, the scrutiny of what her candidacy may be.”

 

Personally, I believe every generation of the Kennedy clan has received preferential treatment. But, this is not the time for me to venture into the topic of the Kennedys. Maybe later, on another blog; just not here – today.

 

The media likes to call Palin by names such as “mama bear” and “grizzly” among others. Giving only a mere consideration toward common courtesy, almost anyone else would have lashed back and done so long ago. But, not our Sarah Palin. She speaks with a crisp tongue that gives respect while making a clear statement in undertone – she also expects her due respect with a little common sense – and truth!

 

During her interview with John Ziegler, she also said, “I did see that Tina Fey was named entertainer of the year and Katie Couric’s ratings have risen,” she said. “And I know that a lot of people are capitalizing on, oh I don’t know, perhaps some exploiting that was done via me, my family, my administration. That’s a little bit perplexing, but it also says a great deal about our society.”

 

So much is said in that remark, without having to ‘twist’ or ‘distort’ the reality. While the media was capitalizing on Palin by exploiting her family’s life and private matters, giving to innuendos, promoting untruths by suggestion – as much as they might deny it – their actions speak volumes. What became most apparent to me was their own (the media) inner conflicts and lack of ability to control them: Love to hate her, hate to love her – it’s like pulling flower petals – they can’t make up their own minds!

 

Envy and jealousy are ugly little monsters if you ask me. Yet respectful Sarah refrained from accidentally calling Fey and Couric by Envy and Jealousy. Always the Diplomat our Ms. Palin.

 

And, while she could have gave an accurate advance ‘statement’ as to how Caroline Kennedy will be treated by the media (kid gloves filled with down), she left us with a question instead. A question that logically gives answer unto itself.

 

I wonder how Ms. Kennedy will be able to cope with the reality of the world outside of her elitist group and Washington. That should be an eye-opening experience for everyone, including herself.

What do you think?
