Video: Sarah Palin Said Hillary Clinton Was Whining
Oliver Willis — She apparently forgot to mention this when she was fake-praising Clinton.

Palin didn’t like Hillary Clinton’s ‘perceived whine.’
Think Progress — During a Newsweek Women & Leadership Event in Los Angeles last March, Sarah Palin said this about Hillary Clinton: I say this with all due respect to Hillary Clinton…but when I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism or you know maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think you know that doesn’t do us any good – women in politics, women in general wanting to progress this country. Watch it: Newsweek writes that Palin ...

Palin on Clinton
Ben Smith's Blog — Here's that video -- a must-watch for the days ahead -- in which Palin clearly sympathizes with Clinton, but also says that she does herself and other women a disservice with the "perceived whine" about tougher media coverage. The video basically obliges her, and the McCain campaign, to brush off perceived sexism, and not to "whine" about it, which sounds like it's her instinct anyway.

Palin: Yes, there was sexism towards Hillary but she shouldn’t whine about it
Hot Air » Top Picks — Palin: Yes, there was sexism towards Hillary but she shouldn’t whine about it posted at 6:49 pm on August 29, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Someone e-mailed me about this earlier and made it sound like she was laying into Hillary, a righteous development in most cases but not on the day she made her pitch to the PUMAs . Not to worry: It’s not a slam, just a gentle nudge that the sisterhood is ill served by a posture of perpetual grievance, especially when the aggrieved is one of the most powerful women in the world. Not to go too far into the tank but I think she strikes just the right note between sympathy ...

Sarah Palin, the neo-feminist, who says "quit whining."
Althouse — American Princess loves Sarah Palin. She's looking at this video clip, where Sarah Palin deals with the question of whether Hillary Clinton was subjected to sexism and what she should have done about it: Now, I understand that some feminists will say: That's exactly what sexists want you to believe. You can't talk about sexism. How convenient for them. They'd love it if any criticism of them is heard as whining from you, making you look bad and weak. And that is terribly important. But the candidate doesn't need to be the one who complains. Others will do it for her, and ...

Did Palin Call Hillary Clinton a Whiner?
Political Radar — Bob Barr Attends Ron Paul Rally to Woo Paul Supporters | Main Did Palin Call Hillary Clinton a Whiner? September 02, 2008 2:15 PM ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, in a video interview with Newsweek posted on YouTube, discussed the coverage of Sen. Hillary Clinton. In an interview that appears to have taken place during the Democratic primary, Palin criticizes Clinton for her response to media scrutiny she received while on the campaign trail. Palin says, "When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism or you know maybe a sharper ...

"You know, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called 'change,' it’s still gonna stink."
Althouse — Said Obama, and speaking of stink, it's raised quite a stink. Now, I didn't blog this yesterday, because frankly, I considered it absolutely nothing. "Lipstick on a pig" is an extremely common expression, and it doesn't become taboo because somebody else made a wisecrack about lipstick on another animal or because that somebody else happens to wear lipstick. And I don't like seeing a lot of men jumping to Sarah's defense over some other man's possible sexist slur of her. Excessive chivalry doesn't advance feminism, and women themselves, as Palin famously said, have "got to plow through." No whining. But I'm ...

Lopez: Its Not All About Sex
Articles on National Review Online — T alking about Hillary Clinton and sexism at a women-and-leadership Newsweek forum earlier this year, Sarah Palin said it bothers me a little to see Clinton running as a victim. She does herself a disservice to even mention it. Palin added that any perceived whine. . . . doesn t do us any good . . . women in politics, or women in general. You go, girl. Who needs to play victim? Life s unfair. Politics gets ugly. So what? Fight on!

Video: John Ziegler and David Shuster yell at each other over Palin
Hot Air » Top Picks — Video: John Ziegler and David Shuster yell at each other over Palin posted at 2:45 pm on January 9, 2009 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly A screaming match for your Friday afternoon entertainment. Shuster’s numbers are off, but not by much: It was 59 percent who thought she was unqualified to be VP, not 65. Ace is right about the Palin interview, incidentally. Grievance is an unappealing quality in a politician, especially one whose media opportunities would be better spent showing off her policy chops ahead of 2012. She has endless surrogates willing to complain about the coverage on ...

The Quitter
Suburban Guerrilla — I think Gov. Palin is now beginning to get a glimmer of understanding what it’s like living under a microscope. Any by the way, I’m pretty sure she’s not going to be suing anyone. It’s something people threaten when they’re in damage control mode, but almost never follow through. Why? Because it gives the person you’re suing the right of discovery, and I don’t think she wants people combing through her personal records. Call it a hunch.

A Little Hypocrisy With Your Vintage Whine?
Brilliant at Breakfast — This is quitter/fighter Sarah Palin just ten months ago exhorting Hillary Clinton to not drop out, to "plow ahead" and stressing the importance of knowing what you're getting into. It's very good advice, actually, advice I'd even give my own kids. Alas, the lame duck Governor of Alaska, as with so many of us, does not heed her own good advice. As a result, Hillary Clinton, who stuck it out, is now Secretary of State and Sarah Palin, who did not, will be in 19 days an aging, unemployed beauty queen and an asterisk drawn in lipstick. Tip o' the tinfoil hat to Newsy.com for catching this ...
