What MBC said.
Also - Of course "she would be ridiculed", doesn't mean that I'd do the ridiculing. There have been lots of these gaffes from both sides and focusing on them shows just how much we love petty drama. I can practically hear the Married With Children audience laugh track. "Ooooooooooohhh!"
Disclaimer - I'm sure I focused on gaffes in the past, but I've totally changed my stance on them. I'm done fcuking around with slip-ups and mistakes, pointing them out only when certain people do them, and pretending they don't matter when other people do them. I could list a few moments of McCain and Palin caught in mis-speech that don't bother me to prove my point but that would mean mentioning them, and I won't do it. None of them really bother me any more.
Further disclaimer - "gaffe" means whatever we want it to mean, doesn't it? I'm sure I'll point at something and someone else will say it was just a gaffe, while I disagree. Such is life.
