Hockey Mom With A Glass Jaw - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan

  • In her widely watched Oprah appearance, for example, Palin said that
    she resented people questioning her ability to serve as vice-president
    while being a mother to five children – something a man would never be
    asked. But Palin also complained that in her interview with Couric, she
    thought she would be speaking to the reporter "working mom [to] working
    mom" and that she was annoyed with "her badgering and questions". In
    other words, Palin thought that because Couric was a woman, she
    wouldn't take her job as a journalist seriously. Palin expected a puff
    piece instead of pesky questions about economics, abortion and Palin's
    policies – you know, things a "working mom" couldn't possibly be
    bothered with.
