In March of 2008, at a during a Women and Leadership event, Sarah Palin had these words directed at then presidential candidate and U.S. Senator, Hillary Clinton (who now is Secretary of State), who had talked about some of the media scrutiny she had been enduring during her historic run toward the White House:
This is pointed out by Crooks and Liars:
PALIN: Fair or unfair, I think she does herself a disservice to even mention it… When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism or, you know, maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, man, that doesn’t do us any good. Women in politics, women in general wanting to progress this country. I don’t think it’s, it bodes well for her – a statement like that. … It bothers me a little bit hearing her bring that attention to herself on that level.
I wonder if Sarah Palin now bothers herself. Now, it seems Palin is the woman out front complaining about the media, complaining about her treatment, complaining about the treatment of her kids and her family at every turn. This is after she took a shot (probably politically motivated) at Hillary Clinton.
Great point made by Crooks and Liars (there is video there, too):
