All this outrage over the Palin personal life by the right brings up another question from me. Why is that when John Edward’s life was dragged into the spotlight, no one said boo? Why is it when Spitzer’s personal life was dragged into the spotlight there was no outrage? When did politicians personal and family lives become irrelevant and off-limits? And on top of that, as far as I know the only people to really pick up on those stories were bloggers and US Weekly. I don’t think any of the major news networks or cable news were running stories regarding some of the now defunct rumors on her family. When politicians enter public office and enter the cesspool that is media attention, I’m pretty sure they should expect these things to come up every once in a while.
