Defend Sarah Palin: Post Katie Couric Party Pics

By
Tuesday, December 01, 2009 at 9:44 am

Todd Herman, the new media director of the Republican National Committee, avers that his Twitter comments are “not statements on behalf of my employer.” That’s helpful today, as he’s pointed followers to photos of CBS News anchor Katie Couric dancing at a party, photos that first appeared at Gawker.com.

After he was told that image didn’t work, Herman tried again.

Picture 62

The obvious difference between the Couric photos and the ones that “belittle” Palin — I’m thinking of the recent Newsweek cover — is that Palin posed for her photos, whereas these are tabloid party snaps of Couric.

How insensitive of Katie to assume rethugs can read!

Ahh, I see, so the sexism in the Palin pic (that she posed for) was so appalling that the only sensible response is to… run a belittling photo of a different woman?

Really striking a blow against sexism there. Good work, Republicans!

typical comments, libs can only dish it, they can't take it, just like the wuss they elected- always deflecting, never wrong, too childish to let alnyone think they are anything less than superhuman. it's hilarious. we all know the responses these pics would garner if it were a republican. the left is mind-numbingly boring in their predictable attacks and defense. yaaawn. but katie does look like a stupid over the hill cougar wannabe though. luckily her husband doesn't have to see her lose all dignity…..aw, are the evil bloodthirsty libs ganna get all self-righteous suddenly because someone spoke ill of a woman they admire? hahahaha, of course they are. funny

Palin can't answer a question about what she reads, so she goes all grade school, infantile, un-Christian, angry, mean-girl on Couric.

And, the children that drink the Palin koolaid do the same?

She did not pose for that Newsweek photo, let's get the facts straight. They were illegally obtained from a runners world photo shoot.
