Palin scolded Hillary for whining about tough media coverage

Whenever you see Sarah Palin complain about the “gotcha media”, just remember this video of her telling Hillary Clinton that she shouldn’t whine about her rough handling by the media: Fair or unfair—and I do think that it’s a more concentrated criticism that Hillary gets on so many fronts; I think that’s unfortunate. But fair […]

Palin Surprises Everyone

Just about everyone was caught by Sarah Palin’s surprise announcement that she is resigning as governor of Alaska. So far, nobody has any idea why she is stepping down. She was expected to announce that she would not run for reelection — possibly to free her up for a presidential bid in 2012 — but […]

Late Night Letterman Humor

Now, when I call your name, please come forward and pick up your apology.” – David Letterman “Hi, everyone. I’m Jimmy, I’m the host of the show. Before we […]

Conservatives in Glass Houses Shouldn’t Throw Stones

Conservative ire is still being thrown at David Letterman for an off-color joke he made earlier this month about Sarah Palin and her daughter. Watch the video here. Without defending Letterman, who has apologized for the joke, Media Matters points out that protesting sexist jokes from a comedian is hypocritical when right-wing spokespeople and pundits […]

Letterman — master of irony — responds to Palin

Sarah and Todd Palin wrote a nastygram to David Letterman about some jokes he made about their trip to New York. Letterman responds: UPDATE: The Empire Strikes Back! MSNBC has the details — scroll down to “Palin keeps up her crusade against Letterman“. Palin also denounced the media’s “political double standard” by leaving Obama’s children […]

Do Republicans even know what Socialism is?

A while ago, the Republicans noticed that calling an opponent a “liberal” didn’t quite have the sting it once did, so they decided to simply replace the word “liberal” with the word “socialist”. Seriously. Unfortunately, I don’t think any of them bothered to look up what socialism means. This led to ironic situations where people […]

Yeah, Let’s Waterboard Terrorists

In the wake of the murder of a Kansas doctor who performed abortions by a pro-life zealot, isn’t it hypocritical that the same people who screamed about William Ayers being a domestic terrorist and attacked Obama for “palling around” with him don’t think of people who kill doctors or bomb medical facilities as domestic terrorists?

Nothing is ever Sarah Palin’s Fault

Last week, Sarah Palin’s nominee to be the Alaska Attorney General, Wayne Ross, was denied by the Legislature. It was the first time in Alaska’s (short) history that a nominee was not confirmed for any state agency. A new Attorney General was needed because her last one resigned because of the Troopergate scandal. But in […]

Small Town Values?

Yesterday, was a rather bad day for Levi Johnston (supposedly Sarah Palin’s future son-in-law). Not only did he have to quit his north slope oil job because he does not have a high school diploma, but his mother Sherry went to court on drug charges. What’s sad about the latter is that she appeared alone to […]

Grandma Palin Swings Back and Strikes Out

Those of us who hoped that we had heard the last from Gov. Palin (at least until the next presidential election) were disappointed when she went on the warpath this week against the media for what she called inaccurate reports about her daughter Bristol. As you know, Bristol recently gave birth to a son, Tripp […]

Joe the plumber is a tool

In an interview with conservative talk-radio host Glenn Beck, Joe “the plumber” Wurzelbacher admits that he was used by the McCain campaign: When I was on the bus with him, I asked him a lot of questions about the bailout because most Americans did not want that to happen. I asked him some pretty direct […]

Given the way the campaign was run, this is not a surprise

A Fox News reporter goes to the McCain-Palin headquarters in Arlington VA where they are selling off the old office equipment, and buys a used Blackberry phone that has a dead battery. When she charges the phone, she discovers that it has over 50 private phone numbers and two months of internal campaign emails. Curious, […]
