Palin-Bashing Press Keeps Swinging And Missing (The MSM Really Stepped In It Alert)

Funniest line in this article over the Palin MSM feeding frenzy:

One good barometer of conservative support: Rush Limbaugh, who is rumored to kick his cat across the room in rage when he hears the name “McCain,” now calls the Arizona senator “John McGenius.”

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

I say let the media keep trashing Palin. The more they do it, they worse it’s going to impact them for having done so.

The lady is essentially bulletproof at this point.

[Hattie]

I thought Rush was calling him John McBrilliant.

When I was watching Greta tonight with Newt, they were laughing at a bunch of folks who were booing at Dick Gregory from MSNBC. I love it!

The Eagleton option? Boy, are they ever underestimating Governor Palin! I saw a photo of a moose that underestimated her.

Actually having heard him talk about his cat, it might be the one formerly kicking Limbaugh across the room at the mentiono of the now McBrilliant.

“She’s more a conservative man than she is a woman on women’s issues,” quoth a spokeswoman from the predictably shrill National Organization for Women, which always defines womanhood by a woman’s commitment to left-wing feminist dogma.

Funny because Obama fits NOW's definition of womanhood to the "T".

I remember when Jonah floated the idea of McCain picking a Democrat as VP.

I'm very glad Jonah is not a McCain adviser.

[Jeff Chandler]

hiccup!

[what's up]

I like this one...

It required the Jaws of Life to pry news of John Edwards’ affair out the mainstream press. But when it came to the personal drama of Palin’s 17-year old daughter, the press clawed for morsels like they were golden tickets from Wonka Bars.

altho I don't know what a Wonka bar is.

[GLDNGUN]

I almost wish I was a girl, so I could sport one of those Palin buttons that say: READ MY LIPSTICK!

I thought Rush was calling him John McBrilliant.

You're right.

dick is an emaciated negro comic of old turned red activist/faster

[peggybac]

Gawd, I’m dumb. Where did I get Dick Gregory? I don’t even know a Dick Gregory. Thanks for the correction!

[MayflowerMadam]

The only one considering the Eagleton Option now is B. Hussein. He’s gotta be wondering how he can unload the gasbag Biden and get himself a woman.

lol, in the movie “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (and the book “The Great Glass Elevator”), the main character, Charlie, won a contest by the (Willie) Wonka Candy Co. You won by finding one of five “golden tickets” that were wrapped in with the chocolate Wonka bars. :)

For good or ill, going forward, Palin is easily the most popular Republican in the country, at least among people inclined to vote for the GOP. That may not last, of course (she has many trials ahead), but the instant decision of Beltway blowhards to push the Palin-as-liability fable says a lot about how little they understand much of the American electorate.

What interests me is how right McCain and his selection committee were in picking Sarah Palin. I am thrilled to see the MSM/blowhards and bloghards completely misread this one. Since they are the veritable one-trick pony, I expect them to continue with these lines of attack against Sarah Palin until they realize that they are actually costing Obama votes big time.

A wonka bar was from the children’s book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”

It was a great candy bar that all the kids wanted. Mr. Wonka put golden tickets in a few bars for a special tour of the factory.

Why do I suddenly feel old here?

[wardaddy]

you’re not dumb dear...far from it

it’s just one in the morning in Kansas...nashville too..lol
