Palin (I suppose) has never heard of Muskie. She must be too young.
"WASHINGTON (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.”
