This is probably a bit silly and unnecessary to point out, and it may be a waste of a diary entry, but this made me a tad angry and I thought I'd share it.
This is Palin's reaction to the shooting:
My sincere condolences are offered to the family of Rep. Grabrielle Giffords and the other victims of today's tragic shooting in Arizona[source]
This is Palin's staff's reactions to associations between the shooting and Palin:
"We are all looking at our Twitter feeds and I am seeing people and it's really sad," Mansour said in the interview that is posted on Bruce's web site. "People actually accuse Gov. Palin of this. It's appalling. Appalling. I cannot even express how disgusting that is."[source]
There's just something weird about how much more upset they are about the latter.
