Ezra on Palin and the coffee cup and the MSM

Ezra Klein notices her pattern:

I'm struck, rather, by her closing line. At the end, where, after reading the incendiary quote [the Madeleine Albright line about women not helping women], she says, "and now, California, let's see what a comment like I just made, how that is turned into whatever it's turned into tomorrow in the newspaper." Presumably, what the newspapers will report is that she...uttered this comment. But you're seeing this in a lot of Palin comments: She's using the media's treatment of her as a way to evade responsibility for her own statements. When she says something crazy and the media reports that she said something crazy, well wouldn't you just know they'd do that? Just shows how much they hate us, and in turn, how much you should hate them. Wink.
