Hell, Marion Berry was treated better than she was after he bought crack from a prostitute.

I can't recall a political candidate being so thoroughly overwhelmed so as to make the ridiculous gaffes that Palin has made. An inability to look competent in interviews, stumbling through debates with laughable attempts to dodge questions, taking calls from Canadian morning shows impersonating the French president, painting herself as a simple hockey mom and then spending $150k on her wardrobe, the list goes on. And every time something happens it's someone else's fault.
Don't you think maybe, just maybe, the scrutiny is due to her behavior? Every politician faces a ton of scrutiny, and it's not always fair, but she sets herself up to be hammered over and over again. This is simply another example of that.
