Palin Manages To Make Santorum’s NYT Cursing Incident About Her
1:15 pm, March 27th | by Laura Donovan
What’s worse: Taking flak for a spur of the moment outburst or having an outside party try to make that incident all about him/her?
The latter definitely happened to presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who swore at a New York Times journalist this week for inquiring about his previous statement that rival Mitt Romney is the “worst Republican in the country.” During a Monday evening appearance on Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren’s show, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin related this experience to everything the media has put her through: “Welcome to my world, Rick, and good on ya.” On Santorum’s irate reaction to reporter Jeff Zeleny’s question, Palin told Van Susteren:
“It was good, and it was strong, and it was about time because he’s saying enough is enough of the liberal media twisting the conservative words, putting words in his mouth, taking things out of context and even just making things up…So when I heard Rick Santorum’s response, I was like well, welcome to my world, Rick, and good on ya. Don’t retreat.”
It goes without saying that Palin is well-versed in taking shots from commentators and news people alike, so she could be perceived as a bully victim standing up for the latest kid to be picked on. She was just trying to sympathize, and it’s always helpful to receive advice from veteran politicians…except when you’ve been involved in politics longer than the person spouting words of wisdom. Santorum faced nationwide criticism for his handling of the exchange, and while he may appreciate Palin taking the eyes and weight off him for a millisecond, he’s the focus of the scandal right now, not the former vice presidential candidate, and now is as good a time as ever for her to quit injecting herself into debates unrelated to her.
