Today's Lady News: Sarah Palin Says There's A Double Standard For Crying

Sarah Palin says there's a double standard for crying

Sometimes there's just so much lady news that I have to do a weekend post in addition to my regular daily post. So for your enjoyment, here is "Today's Lady News: The Weekend Edition." Damn, I feel all fancy, like NPR!

  • Former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin addressed soon-to-be Speaker of the House John Boehner's habit for tearing up and rightly pointed out that there is a double standard when it comes to men and women politicians crying. "I don't know if a woman would be given a pass necessarily," she told "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts. "I respect John Boehner because he has worn his feelings on his sleeve on things that are so important to him ... and I give him that pass, too.  But that's one of those things where a double standard certainly is applied. I'm sure if I got up there and did a speech and I started breaking down and cried about how important it is to me that our children and our grandchildren are provided great opportunities, I'm sure that I would be knocked a little bit for that."
