Really Sarah?

Now.... for as ridiculous as I think Sarah Palin is (despite the fact she was an excellent source of a Halloween costume this year), I can't help but feel a little bad for her right now. You have to admit she's having a rough time. You can tell in all of her interviews...she's tired, defensive, and now that the RNC isn't paying for her hairstylist anymore... looks a little rough. And maybe the allegations of not knowing what countries make up NAFTA (here's a hint... North...American...fill in the blank) or supposedly not knowing that Africa was a continent and not a country, are false. Or maybe they're not. Either way there are obviously some people within the Republican camp that do NOT like her. And that sucks for her, admittedly.

However... when I heard her response to these allegations, I couldn't help but think... Really Sarah? Really? YOU are going to get upset about words being taken out of context? About lies being spread? These people are..... Jerks? Here's her response, taken from huffingtonpost.com:

"If there are allegations based on questions or comments that I made in debate prep about NAFTA, and about the continent vs. the country when we talk about Africa there, then those were taken out of context," she said. "That's cruel, It's mean-spirited. It's immature. It's unprofessional and those guys are jerks if they came away with it, taking things out of context and then tried to spread something on national news. It's not fair, and it's not right."

No, it's not fair, and it's not right. But maybe she should have thought about that before she started the "palling around with terrorists" campaign against Obama, inciting crowds of people to yell "terrorist" and "kill him" when she did. Karma, anyone? Just a thought.
