I commented and then that gets out there in the blogosphere, it gets out there in the different forms of the mediums that we have today.

The Times, enterprisingly, published a <a href=\"http:\/\/palingates.blogspot.com\/2010\/02\/actress-from-family-guy-sets-record.html#dsq-comments\">stinging rebuke<\/a> to Palin from the actress, Andrea Fay Friedman.
