Gee ... liberal media bias much?


Hillary fields a question where the person is asking about how Bill would handle a situation (instead of how she would handle it), and she "loses her cool".

Sarah Palin puts out an incendiary lie, calculated to throw gasoline on a fire, and the media says she "calls for civility" after her comments ...

1. I see this as feeding the "emotional female reaction" stereotype, and it stinks.
I've seen male politicians react just as emphatically in similar situations, but such bold reactions from men don't often lead the national and international news.

2. I don't believe that it was reported that Bush had snapped at a reporter who
said "Mr. Bush" instead of "Mr. President", even though he had snapped at the reporter ...

3. She didn't throw a fit.
People can watch for themselves with this YouTube video (which unfortunately also uses the word "Snaps" in its title):

5. "What does Mr. Clinton think, through the mouth of Mrs. Clinton?"
That was a deeply insulting question. She answered with some spirit, yes, but she answered him in a direct fashion. "If you ask me what I think, I will answer you." What an ignorant person this male "student" was.
