Sarah Palin Weighs in on John Boehner’s Crying: Double Standard for Men and Women
WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) — Sarah Palin says there’s a double standard when it comes to politicians who cry in public.
The former Alaska governor and possible 2012 Republican presidential candidate says she would be “knocked a little bit” if she cried while giving a speech. But Palin tells ABC’s “Good Morning America” that House speaker-in-waiting John Boehner gets a “pass” when he cries in public.
Palin says that’s OK, but that it makes women in politics work harder and “be that much tougher.“ Palin also characterized President Obama as a ”flip-flopper” for his recent tax rate compromise.

It figures! She was unknown until picked by Republicans to run. I believe she was picked simply because she was a woman, ...in an effort to get women to vote for the Republican candidate for president. Lucky for us women aren't stupid, well, excepting one past vice-presidential candidate now hoping to be president.
