If Palin had been a Democrat, would this story have more media attention? Well, let's see . . . Which newspaper broke the story about Edwards' affair . . . Oh, that's right . . . The National Inquirier . . . The National Inquirer because the American media is so wrought with liberal bias that Edwards having an affair on his dying wife was broke by a TABLOID Magazine! The MSNBC commentators are so sick of their own Obama media bias that the network is imploding!
Kudos to Palin for being tough. She never followed through with censorship, never stated what she thought was offensive. The libarian quit on her own.
