Besides, Palin relishes the media’s attention when it suits her purpose. And when it doesn’t? Ciao!"

Do SP a favor; stop defending her. The lame stream media, otherwise known as the habitual haters of Palin, can't fathom why she would not give them her schedule. She doesn't care if they follow her or not, but they can't resist flocking to the women they despise. The liberal media even dropped the live coverage of Gov. Romney's declaration as a POTUS candidate to go live to Palin.

Still waiting for any evidence of Rehm defending Juan Williams and criticizing NPR for his firing. Is this just another instance where you can't be bothered to support your wild claims with facts?

Our consumers judged to host their wedding rehearsal in the gathering apartment of their lofty heave. The celebration room in this particular lofty ascend was very fine being namely it overlooks the pond. The view from the party room is stunning…. The entire Chicago skyline & museum university.
