Reading Maureen Dowd this morning it seemed like she was in the throes of a deep love-hate fest with Sarah Palin. Palin had Dowd so tied up in knots, she turned poor Dowd into a parody of herself.
Meanwhile everyone looks for the deeper story-- is she pregnant? When will the shoe drop? What big scandal or dark evil genius plan for 2012 lurks?
This all seems a bit overwrought. As Adam Nagourney points out, there may be no big scandal or evil genius plan. Just mounting bills and an opportunity to pay them, while perhaps protecting her family from what the French would call "le media shitstorm" that follows them.
Well played, Mr. Nagourney. Read the whole thing here: http://bit.ly/41DZJ
