Stick a camera or microphone in my face and see what happens. You'll be crapping bits of it for a week after I feed it to you. The media/papparazi in this country need to have their wings clipped big time when it comes to getting in people's faces; whether they're in a public place or not. So if she shoved a cameraman or reporter all I can say is..... "Good for her."
Palin cause it all by pursuing politics and book signings, etc.
It has made her lots of money and fanatical followers as shown by this thread which is much ado over nothing.
I agree with you personally over the "paparatzi style press" however I do not pursue fame like Palin.
