Following from Sapwolf’s post:
Sarah Palin doesn’t look miserable. She looks like she’s having the time of her life, despite financial and media difficulties.
The thing that she does for herself is running. She runs at least six miles per day. (I think that was the author’s point).
Toronto Girl (#17): I’m with you there. I’m sick of women complaining. Single women complain that they can’t find a man (because their expectations are too high). Married women complain about their husbands, children, and chores (because they live for everyone but themselves). The working moms I know seem to complain a lot less–probably because they are too busy to complain–they bitch more about job stuff, salaries, etc.
Keep in mind that we are talking about Maureen Dowd here. Furthermore, we are talking about a certain east-coast mentality that is beholden to a certain set of values.
