Feel her pain? No. They’re just trying to regain credibility. Too late.

So some vitriolic PDS libs recognize that this behavior toward Palin and her children may be a bit over the top... and they deserve praise for that? HUH????

They're just pointing out that their perfection comes from such deep self-realization at times like this.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

This is further confirmation of an old saying:

"Give idiots enough rope and they will hang themselves."

[Big Giant Head]

Comments? Yes.

Thank you lame-brained media for completely, thoroughly, totally vetting Sarah Palin for her Presidential run!

[ballplayer]

Sure a few Leftys are sorry, SORRY they didnt find anything to Continue to clobber her over the Head with!!!!!
Give me a Freakin Break

Put enough force against something, it will bend around and hit you on the back.

The words of General Stonewall Jackson come to mind: "Give them the bayonet..."

He hosts the debate show “Beer Summit” for PBS Guam.

Don’t fall for it. If they were sincere they would be pointing out emails that showed Palin’s dedication to her constituents and her unwavering ethics.

This is all about discouraging the talk of having other politicians undergo the same colonostromy because they fear what would surface with Obama’s emails.

Of course, traditional journalists are not supposed to treat political figures as political opponents.

Since when? I mean, on the whole, this was a well-written article, but it falls short on two key points:

1. It assumes that there is such a thing as an "objective journalist". There isn't, and never has been. Journalists (and even their supposedly more objective cousins, reporters) are and always have been agenda-driven, often to the point of advocating for or against specific politicians or parties. Most cities used to have a "democrat" and "republican" newspaper, often with the party name in the paper's title.

   The difference is that modern journalism has somehow managed to convince the general public that it is objective, attempting to hide or ignore their own biases, rather than trumpet them loudly for all to see. The fact that the author buys into that at all is a grave error.

2. It gives too much credit to the liberals criticizing the NYT, WP, LAT, etc. If these people had been criticizing the media orgy before they cam up with nothing, it may have been laudable. Waiting until after the effort came up empty is merely trying to distance themselves from the embarrassment.

Perhaps the author was only considering Leninists snd Stalinists as “liberals,” the rest being “conservative.”

[arthurus]

Correct math, as anything else, is a function of the Party Line.

[arthurus]

Stewart is exasperated that they came up empty. He is obliquely excoriating the Leftpress for not vetting this for usefulness before making a big noise about it.

[arthurus]

libs recognize that this behavior toward Palin and her children may be a bit over the top.

They don't recognize it as "over the top" because it was excessive but because it publicly came up empty and made them look ineffective.

Some liberals finally start to feel her pain

They don't feel her pain, only their own frustration.

[Brett66]

Haha! She could be in the sequel of Falling Down.

[thackney]

How could they call it 3 years of legal haggling? She left the governorship in the summer of ‘09.

There was requests for release of emails before she left office.
