Liberal pundits agree: Sarah Palin is horrible. Some might even say deranged.
Newsbusters reported that on New Year's Eve, Newsweek's Julia Reed called her a "borderline lunatic" on CNN's All the Best, All the Worst of 2010.
Newsweek recently released a cover naming President Obama "God of All Things."
Tim Graham posted a transcript of the relevant portion:
TOM FOREMAN, CNN ANCHOR: Best pounding of the pundits.
SARAH PALIN: Whoo, Nevada.
FOREMAN: Sarah Palin.
JULIA REED, NEWSWEEK: A borderline lunatic.
JULIE CHEN, CBS: Love her or hate her, she's definitely entertaining.
FOREMAN: The hockey mom gone rogue proved all the predictions of her political demise dead wrong, surging in prominence in Republican and Tea Party circles, giving us a new book, a new word of the year, refudiate, and even a new reality show.
RICH EISEN, NFL NETWORK: I think Sarah Palin would say she's not doing a reality show, she's -- she's showing you the peaks and valleys in the -- the -- the indigenous life of -- of Alaska. And by that I mean her husband, I think.
KATHLEEN PARKER: I think she is a brilliant politician. I think she has an instinct for the zeitgeist and for what people need to hear. But I don't see her as a serious political figure.
Is Julia Reed an expert in mental health as well as a Newsweek reporter?
Graham concludes by writing:
The biggest cliche came as CNN's year-end analysts were asked about their wishes for the New Year. CBS's Julie Chen simply said "Stop the hate. Stop the bullying. And just give peace a chance."
How ironic.
The Blaze reported a similar exchange on MSNBC.

These people are obnoxious - and dishonest. I wish they would get another job, but they are only suited for modern “journalism”.
How about laughing at the idiots? That will really annoy them, since they think they are everyone’s betters.
It's no longer worth commenting on ~ just another piece of propaganda.
No reputable reporter or writer works for them.
I guess we’re just a few of Sara’s lunatic FRiends.
From committedtoromney:
One. Dollar.
One couldn’t even apply the qualifier “borderline” to a reporter who would work for Newsweak.
Abortion-
The source of most leftist women’s hate for Sarah.
I suppose that same “News”week reporter honored Michael Isikoff for faking that story about flushed korans at Gitmo.
You got more out of it than I did. I have no clue what he was trying to say.
They tried that one already with the Enquirer running "unnamed source" stories about Sarah having affairs with one of Todd's former associates.
No, but she does have that east-coast blue state liberal look about her
“SARAH PALIN: Whoo, Nevada.”
An obvious misattribution.
That’s why you never let her inside.
The "horrible" and "deranged" accusation coming from the neurotically obsessed is called, "projection".
"...Obama, in order to be a viable Democrat, had to tap into one of the prominent streams of anger, envy, bitterness, and divisiveness that define and animate the left. Oddly, his whole appeal was based on the misperception that he was beyond this sort of destructive divisiveness, but this is about as realistic as an Arab leader claiming to be "beyond the differences between Muslim and Jew," without which they could not be an Arab leader. For what does the Arab political world have to recommend itself except for an officially sanctioned target for their overflowing rage, envy, sexual insecurity, and low self-esteem? In other words, all the Arab leader has to offer his people is death to Israel.
"Similarly, what does the Democrat leader have to offer his various tribes except for [Sarah Palin], or Bush, or Cheney, or Rove, or Halliburton, or the Wealthy, or scary Christians, or Creationists, or White Racists, or misogynists, or "homophobes," or the End of the World? What's left of the Left if you remove these "containers" of projected rage and fear? Only the free-floating rage and fear. ..."
It really is kind of sad that the 'libs are so bankrupt ideologically (heck, on every front/issue) that they have nothing left but wild personal attacks...
They only hire certified lunatics.
Sayyyyyy...isn’t Newsweak the publication that DemocRAT Congresshole Jane Harman bought for one dollar a little while back?
