According to O'Brien, because she and other women had kids and decided to work, they have the right to question the judgement of Palin to have kids and work.

Ouch! Logic like that can rob brain cells from people in the next room.

O'BRIEN: OK, so I have four [kids]. It's really hard, and any mother would say it is really hard to do it all. So I think sometimes, don't dismiss it, because a lot of times the women who were raising that question were women with children who actually were on both sides of the political aisle.

Get real, Soledad.  Yes, it is a tough balancing act.  But if Palin were a Democrat and Megyn and her female colleagues at Fox had raised these questions, you'd be ripping them into tiny little pieces.

Welcome to the era of unity, you racist!

Effectively, Gov. Palin and her husband have three kids at home.  The eldest son is an adult in the Army; the eldest daughter is a soon-to-be mom and an adult, too.  That leaves a 16 year old daughter, a young daughter, and a baby boy.  Asking if Gov. Palin can do her job and take care of two young children with the help of her husband and teenage daughter is ridiculous.  I had three children under age five and no one asked me if I could hold down my high-pressure job and take care of the kids at the same time.) What was more - I was a single mom for a good portion of the time.  

They were just trying to get the "moms" to question Ms. Palin's loyalties.  It was an effective tactic - a lot of women who have high pressure jobs use the job as an excuse not to have children; a lot of women who have families use that as an excuse not to have a career.  The truth is - they don't need excuses - they are allowed to chose which lifestyle they prefer. Palin became a bit of a flashpoint in this equation as she was doing both. It was easier to drag her down than to explain their own choices.

So - in four years - Gov. Palin will have two kids at home - what will be the battle cry of liberals at that point? 

BTW, if not knowing someone means you can start at the bottom - what was the deal with Obama?  No one knows much about him but MSM tells us he walks on water.  Oh, wait, he's not a conservative woman, so the rules are different for him.

Tim.. and Couric spoon feeding Obama? Remember this clip as posted by Mark Finkelstein on Nov, 3rd? Seemed pretty obvious to me that Couric had already cleared the question with Obama.

Couric has no follow up in this staged question to Obama

Note Couric's big ear to ear grin at the conclusion of his spin; no interest in grilling him, or in pushing for why he hadn't been able to find his aunt, on the government take, when the media could find her. In fact, she is so not wanting to see him challenged on the issue, that she almost seems impatient waiting for him to get done with his answer so that she can jump into her speciality - making the Republicans look negative. gary

Obrien:  "....So I think sometimes, don't dismiss it..."

I think I understand the Soledad logic --- Democrat women can have careers outside of marriage and family but Republican women are prohibitied. Very poor, juvenile attack on Palin. Soledad's failing miserably to mount a meagre defense of the legions of hypocrites in the news media who forever champion the cause of the working professional mom --- and then do a glaring, hypocritical  about face when a Republican woman and mother succeeds beyond their wildest expectations. Soledad is the poster child for liberal media hypocrisy.

What kind of name is Soledad?

Soledad is one of the shallowest gals I have ever watched on the air since I saw her start on msnbc...

She was rude, crude, vicious and empty, doing here leftist work back then, just toned it down some now for CNN....

I could give a flying fig what she thinks about anything, anytime, anywhere.

I am new here, have posted a few comments, anyway, be gentle!LOL.  Just a few thoughts, I know how hard it is to work and raise kids, as a few people have stated. It does depend on how much help you have and how demanding the job. I had just gotten through w/ posting that my daughter got pregnant at 17. She did get married right away, but I don't understand why everyone keeps saying that Sarah needs to be home taking care of her pregnant teen daughter. I don't mean to say that she won't need some support, but, I'm sorry, if she is old enough to decide to have a baby at 17-18, she is old enough to take the responsibility to care for it herself. It hasn't been that long ago in time when girls married at 14, and some had 3 babies by 18. No one had their mommies raising their children, their mommies sometimes were still having them, also.  I think it is ridiculous how people coddle their kids at this age. How do you expect them to parent, if they are treated like 10 yr. olds? 

I was wondering if anyone had sent the petition to shut Sarah up to any of the radio guys? I am so slow as a poster, but if someone is industrious, I think they should send it to Rush, Sean, Mark, Laura, etc. with a short note explaining this guy is a Republican, that he worked for McCain, and make sure the surly comments are added. I think one of them might just read it on air, then it might get a lot of attention.What a sleezeball! I really believe there were lots of insiders who set out to damage Sarah, hard to believe the Republicans think they need any help, the Libs were working over time!
