Henneberger's comment about Palin's troopergate is unbelievable. Does she really think women want people in power to threaten jobs for personal advantage merely because the particular issue is a custody dispute? That's as patronizing (or scary, if true) as it comes.

The real answer is that Palin cut off the trooper scandal by suspending the relevant staffer. It's a non-issue, but not because women are unprincipled.
