As I've said before, Palin and the liberal media need -- and deserve -- 
each other.  They enable each other.  And they detract from everyone else.

Uh, how *could* they report on her statement without making it all about 
her?

Yeah, because that would have been *such* an appropriate statement to 
issue on the day when the actual fricken *victims* are being commemorated.

Remember how Palin stole Obama's thunder back in '08?  Now Obama's stolen 
hers.  If only she'd shut up, he could have given his speech and told 
everyone else to shut up too.  But instead, she made certain that people 
would ignore Obama's advice -- thus making Obama look better, more 
above-it-all, than everyone else, including Palin.  Bravo!
