A Professional Victim
Michelle Cottle's Oprah-Palin write-up:
This is clearly a woman who has neither forgotten nor forgiven the many
injuries she feels were unfairly visited on her last year by the media,
the Democrats, the McCain campaign, and other “haters.” It’s possible
she realizes that she made some significant mistakes, but that
realization is clearly buried under a massive glacier of resentment and
irritation at others.
Asked point blank by Oprah if, when she got the
call from the McCain campaign, she had even a moment of wondering
whether she was ready for the job of vice president, Palin stuck with
the “I didn’t blink” assertion and reminded us of all her executive
experience. The only failure or naivety Palin remains willing to
acknowledge is that she didn’t realize the perfidy or
self-interestedness of those around her. Palin is charming and
charismatic enough that this wasn’t a big problem for the length of an
unexceptional Oprah interview. But it promises to make any future
political runs verrrrry interesting.
