Dr. Laura Schlessinger WUVS her some Sarah Palin now! You know, now that she has come out to defend her and all.

From Dr. Laura's blog:

I want to make a public statement about Sarah Palin; former Governor of Alaska and candidate for Vice President of the United States.

As you know, Tuesday night I announced that I will leave radio at the end of my contract in December so I can speak freely and openly about issues that concern me without fear of retribution against my advertisers and radio stations.

On Wednesday, in her Tweet and Facebook, Sarah Palin made strong statements in my support. You may remember that, two years ago, I was less than enthusiastic when she was selected by John McCain to be his running mate, as my concerns were that having responsibilities for small children should preclude such a decision.

I spoke with her yesterday and told her how impressed I was with her character. You don’t see such character much these days. I believe most folks would have had a more negative approach considering I had not been supportive at that time. But, nope, not Sarah. She is gracious and a woman of principles – no petty reaction.

Okay I feel that this needs to be addressed because I also heard a Republican commentator talking about how forgiving Sarah Palin is and how great it is that she can let things go and move on to forgive Dr. Laura for being so negative about her during the campaign.

Have these people NOT been paying attention?

Sarah Palin does NOT "let things go", or "move on", or "forgive" ANYONE!  And if you don't believe me go out and pick up a copy of "Going Rogue" and read page, after page, after page of score settling and nasty vindictive payback.  The woman leaves no back un-stabbed and changed every story to make herself seem like the rational and heroic one.

Look here is the way I imagine this whole thing went down.

Sarah Palin was sitting at Senator Stevens funeral being completely ignored by all of the dignitaries, and feeling irritable and defensive.  She picks up her Blackberry and starts to check her messages or surf the internet (There have been at least two confirmations of this, so we KNOW this part is factual), and somehow comes upon the story of Dr. Laura quitting her show after saying something really, really stupid.  Palin IMMEDIATELY feels a sense of kinship with Schlessinger and transfers HER feelings of defensiveness to Dr. Laura which compels her to impulsively send off an angry tweet (By the way I am pretty sure this happened just AFTER Uncle Ted's funeral, not during.)

In other words I believe that Sister Sarah tweeted without stopping to give much thought to what she was doing, and either did not realize that Dr. Laura had been less than supportive during her 2008 campaign, or simply forgot.

After the tweet went out, and her handlers got wind of it, they started running around trying to do damage control. It was probably right around then that her people told Palin that she had just defended a woman who had revealed herself to be a racist, and worse yet, was NOT one of her supporters.

What could they really do but completely alter Palin's character and claim that "Abracadabra" she was now a forgiving person who was ready to let bygones be bygones?  Yeah fat chance!

Don't forget this is the woman who used her office to try and destroy the career of her sister's ex-husband! 

And this is the woman who used her Facebook page to imply that Joe McGinnis was a pedophile for daring to move into the house next to hers!

And this is the woman who endorsed Lisa Murkowski's opponent for the Republican nomination because she is still pissed at her father!

And finally this is the woman who just used her daughter and grandson to manipulate Levi Johnston into retracting the things he revealed about her and to essentially destroy his credibility in the eyes of the world!

Does THAT sound like a woman who would defend somebody who had said the things about her that Dr. Laura had?

I think not.
