GAME CHANGE -
The Weekly Standard goes negative on Palin -- "R U Lovin' Sarah's Alaska?
From governor to TV star," by Matt Labash: "On [TLC's] 'Sarah Palin's Alaska,' shortly after she does a shot with Bill O'Reilly from the television studio that she's had built into her house, Palin confides to the reality-show camera, in a rare moment of genuine self-reflection, 'You know, having every word, every action scrutinized and in some cases mocked, I can handle it, you know. I kind of have asked for it, right?' ...
In fact, when surveying the two-year output of her books and tweetings and Facebook updates and speeches and television spots and reality-show utterances, where every minute issue of the day is remarked upon, every slight noticed, every petty retribution repaid, it's hard to imagine she still has any thoughts that remain unexpressed.
But that's what going rogue is all about. Letting it fly. Following your gut. Which has made Sarah Palin wealthy, and intensely discussed, and now has secured her a spot in the Reality TV Star pantheon. And good for Palin if she's happy following her gut.
Though there's no compelling reason to suggest the rest of us should tag along behind."
