Sarah Palin, one tough mama

She may not be humble or politically savvy. But the governor is a rare political species: A strong maternal woman

    What did you expect Palin to do, devour her offspring?

    I'm sorry, but this article was almost as incoherent as Palin's resignation speech.

    What Palin did with her children is unremarkable: as a politician, she gathered them around her in public appearances; as a mother, she defended them against sleights both perceived and real. Neither action deviated from the norm in politics or motherhood.

    As for being tough, I'd say that Palin is more deranged and sociopathic and devoid of empathy for anyone or anything weaker than herself.
