In what universe is this woman qualified to be President, should something happen to the 72 year old cancer survivor whose shoes she would fill? Is you antipathy to Obama and collegiate liberals so intense that it has blinded you?

I believe, perhaps wrongly, that a President Obama would be willing to listen to Dr. Hanson’s thoughts on foreign affairs and the agricultural crisis in this country. He may not agree and take every action he would like, but I do believe he at least has the intellectual honesty and courage to hold two opposing ideas in his head before he makes a sound judgement. Palin, like Bush, seems totally incapable of anything resembling intellectual curiosity. Do we really need 4 more years of that? Can the blame for our current crises really be blamed entirely on the “liberal media,” multi-culturalism and effete elites who don’t know what have never experienced “muscular labor” or shot a moose?

There is nothing vicious or sexist in determining that Palin is a serial liar and a unqualified hypocrite when the facts clearly demonstrate that to be true. Just because some East Coast-based journalists, who went to schools you don’t like or live in cities you despise, made these discoveries doesn’t make it untrue. Media-bashing is yokelism, and it’s about time that people as smart as VDH admit it.

I live in Europe so I am not able to get a copy of the New York Times Sunday edition (a blessing, actually). But, I hear that the front page today is a full frontal assault on Palin.

I really don’t have a problem with newspapers stating their own opinions. After all, it’s their newspaper. But, I think when the Times and other publications present themselves as impartial gatherers of the news that’s when the pubic reacts so negatively.

Where are the investigative reports about Obama’s years in Chicago? How about some inquiries into Biden’s expense accounts? Better that the Times and the Washington Post drop the facade and retitle themselves the Democratic New York Times and the Washington Post Democrat.

I suspect if it wasn’t for the subscriptions of public libraries, airlines, etc. These rags would have already gone under. Oh, probably some folks still purchase these papers for the sports, theatre, and coupons.

There’s enough news available on the internet now. Perhaps we’ll decide this year that we’ve had enough and vote the Times and the Post out of business. I’d love to see ABC, NBC, and CBS become 24 hour shopping channels.

I remember Joe Biden was his favorite guest AND BIDEN WAS EQUALLY BLOOD-THIRSTY! Both these guys wanted Saddam’s head on a platter!

I wonder if MSNBC saved that tape…

I have no issue with left-leaning pundits or celebraties if they would only exhibit a little class. For some reason I am kind of missing Tim Russert right now and wondering how he would have handled this election cycle.

As for the Monterey County piece, it’s funny because the author is so self-righteous, but incapable of even basic fact-checking, analysis and argumentation… I’ve reached the conclusion that 1) stupid people generally aren’t aware that they are stupid, and 2) their ideological masters will egg them on by assuring them that they actually have something usefull to say. I believe Stalin called these types “usefull idiots”.
