Let me put it this way. I have a Peach of a husband. I adore him. But I find myself knocking myself to do for US, and he sort of does for.. him. I think it is part of the programming. Women and men work hard. It is just when a man is done doing for him.. he is done. When a woman is done.. oh wait.. she isn’t.. she is still running around the house doing from them, while he watches the game.
Sarah is quite capable of caring for that little boy. If she quit to do it more, MORE power to her, but she was doing just fine before this. I think it was the pressure, from men on the left and the right that is part of this whole answer. One rule for her and another rule for “the One”.

The only reason Greta even has a show is thanks to her participation in the coverage of the OJ Simpson debacle. She should move over to CourtTV and let a real news anchor/talking head take her place.

Oh yes. Voting should be restricted to Men and landowners…

Oh, that would be BRILLIANT! Then we’d never have socialists in power.

Today Greta and all of her friends in the democrat party and msm are toasting each other and trading high-fives.
The extreme naivety on the part of Republicans and Movement Conservatives is astounding! Darvin Dowdy

So Greta was advocating that political correctness be the guidepost for journalism?

Precisely. Should we refrain from criticizing the One because of how it will be perceived by some? Pass.
The truth is the truth. She cited family reasons in her resignation; it’s not sexist to reference them later. Greta was probably (justifiably) upset about this announcement and took it out on the anchor.

Neither of these defenses address Greta’s point about how it would be perceived.

Greta was dead right.

And what should her obligations be? Political or family?

Ugly on July 4, 2009 at 5:27 AM

And that is the point. If her family is more important and you can’t do both, why suggest she should run for president in 2012?

All Greta was talking about was how his statement would be perceived by a large number of women.

He tried to defend it by saying 1) he didn’t it that way, and 2) that he would say the same thing to a man.

Neither of these defenses address Greta’s point about how it would be perceived.

Greta was dead right.

FIFY

Conservatives shouldn’t indulge in identity politics.

We can only dream.

Look, there’s no doubt that Palin and her family have been viciously attacked and persecuted, and many of the attacks (like Letterman’s) were “sexist”, but I don’t think we do women (or Palin) any favors when we play the tedious gender game and flip out at someone like Gregg Jarrett because he surmises that her children might have something to do with her decision to call it quits for now. Indeed, Palin herself cited her children as a reason.

Fuck the media, the Republican Parties only hope is to start totally bypassing the major media and speak directly to the people.

AnninCA Why former HR professional? What was/is your area of HR expertise? In what industry?

Friday will be forever remembered by me as the day that Sarah Palin threw down the gauntlet and began her national career of returning America to its roots.

Across the country were cheers as people came to realize that the last remaining conservative leader cast off her shackles so she could continue her fight against political corruption, insider politics, and media bias.

The sound we all heard also resonated from the White House as they came to realize a real American just became free to fight against their America destroying politics, and cowardly socialist revolution.

Amongst those making that revolting noise were the beltway insiders on both sides of the isle, Congress, the faux independants, the weak kneed moderates, and the socialist media.

As they were gearing up to celebrade their day of Obama Dependance they heard the lone voice of conservative ideology tell the World that she was now free to take the fight to the next level …

and the sound of a collective crapping of the pants was heard.

Sarah 2012!

Your voice was in the proverbial closet before Palin came along?

You poor thing.

I think every conservative woman who heard that exchange had the same reaction as Greta. We have all been taking unbelievable hits in our own lives since Palin emerged.
BrideOfRove on July 4, 2009 at 8:08 AM

Uh, no, every conservative woman did not have the same reaction as Greta. And to suggest that our own lives have been negatively affected since Palin emerged is a loony assertion.
