I'll I've got to say about Mrs. Palin


I'd totally hit that. Don't act like I was the only one thinking it. I can safely say I never had such "feelings" for Hillary. I mean, c'mon: black leather boots and a skirt above the knees? Did you see those calves in her interview w/ Charlie G? Look at her kids, they're all like JC Penny back to school models. I would've knocked up her daughter too, if I had the chance.

(Thanks to Media Matters for the two quotes below. They--mediamatters.org--may be a bit touchy about the conservative bias now prevalent in the news media, but someone's got to be.)

"There is a tendency in the media to kick ourselves, cringe and withdraw, when we are criticized. But I hope my colleagues stand strong in this case: it is important for the public to know that Palin raised taxes as governor, supported the Bridge to Nowhere before she opposed it [but still took the money from Congress and spent it on other things], pursued pork-barrel projects as mayor, tried to ban books at the local library [apparently only inquired about wanting to ban books] and thinks [hopes] the war in Iraq is "a task from God." The attempts by the McCain campaign to bully us into not reporting such things are not only stupidly aggressive, but unprofessional in the extreme." - Joel Klein

"The conservative movement has been very effective attacking the media (broadcast and print) for its liberal biases. The refusal of the media to disclose and discuss the ideological leanings of reporters and editors, and the broader claim of objectivity, has made the press overly anxious, and inclined to lean over backwards not to offend critics from the right. In many respects, the campaign against the media has been more than a victory: it has turned the press into an unwilling, and often unknowing, ally of the right." - Tom Edsall
