I never heard or read Geraldine Ferraro referred to as failed VP candidate.

You never hear or read about Geraldine Ferraro at all... She vanished from the national consciousness within a week after the 1984 election. She is a timid little mouse next to the force of Nature that is Sarah Palin.

>”If Gov. Palin does run, we’d better get used to these facts, regardless of circumstance”<

What “facts” are those? Please elaborate.

>”Regardless of circumstance”<? What does that mean?

Are we supposed to get used to Liberals who bend the truth and lie outright to damage our Candidates? Do we just sit there and not respond with the truth about the circumstances in defense of our Candidates?

Please clarify your opinion. I'm sure I am not the only one here who feels a bit confused by your original statement.

Yo, she also machine-guns animals from helicopters and floods pristine wilderness areas with oil. ..................................................... Don’t forget, having coffee in the morning at her doorstep with her neighbors, a Russian Tank Division.

I remember extremely pro-American cartoons everyday on the front page of the Chicago Tribune every day in the fifties. I was just a kid, but I remember their Uncle Sam and the forces of evil communism. I wish I could see some of those again.

The last funny Doonesbury comic that I remember was when Carter was President. The White House lawn was filled with Russian soldier and tanks. Carter was saying “Tell the Soviets there will be no START III until they get the tanks off the lawn.”

and make social commentary, often with a politically liberal slant.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It isn't a “liberal” slant. It is a **communist** slant. These guys are all riding the same train. Destination: One World Communism.

I suppose Doonebury was ‘edgy’ at some point. But, it’s like Saturday Night Live, now. I don’t know why they bother.

True. And you could add failed Presidential candidates John Kerry and Al Gore.
But the MSM never refers to them as failures in any capacity.

These are just two of the endless examples of the failure of the MSM to be fair and objective.

Trudeau was funny in his much younger days, though. He wasn’t as ideological, and could see humor on both sides. Those days are long gone.

He had some decent humor before he took that year long vacation. When he came back I tried to read his stuff and it was terrible.

Did they mention the man who sealed his records in his first executive order? How about that guy who unsealed his opponent’s divorce records to smear him in IL?

No mention, eh?

I haven’t followed Trudeau closely enough to know at what point he took a year off. Breathed took a long break, and came back a liberal. It was quite a shock.

The question should be, “Does anyone read the Chi Trib?”

Maybe this is just a stunt to garner more readers

i quit reading that rag when they endorsed obummer.

About time that all news organizations pull the plug on this garbage!

Yes, Jane Pauley was hot so many years ago, and Trudeau has been an A-Hole for the past forty years, but now it’s time for him to retire his pen - forever.

Enjoy life with Jane, hang up the hateful jockstrap!

"She quit her job as governor."

Yeah, just like Rick Perry quit his job as Governor of Texas to run for President. While he's out debating and fundraising and campaigning he sure ain't Governoring. Running for Prez is a 48-hour-a-day job. What is with these Governors, fer cryin' out loud?
