In a post on her blog, Dr. Laura calls Palin an unsuitable role model:

I am extremely disappointed in the choice of Sarah Palin as the Vice Presidential candidate of the Republican Party...

I'm stunned - couldn't the Republican Party find one competent female with adult children to run for Vice President with McCain? I realize his advisors probably didn't want a "mature" woman, as the Democrats keep harping on his age.  But really, what kind of role model is a woman whose fifth child was recently born with a serious issue, Down Syndrome, and then goes back to the job of Governor within days of the birth?

I am haunted by the family pictures of the Palins during political photo-ops, showing the eldest daughter, now pregnant with her own child, cuddling the family's newborn.

Let the Celebrity Deathmatch begin!

Agree with Dr. Laura This might be the only time I think Dr. Laura has made sense....Sarah Palin and her family are at the bottom of the evolutionary scale....no brains, no morals....the lowest of the low. Just Karl Rovian.   » Report this comment to administrator Posted by Kelly, on 11-05-2008 16:32, 4. Mrs Dr Laura for President 2012   » Report this comment to administrator
