I took a much need break from politics. Seeing Sarah Palin today inspired me again. My daughters came with me to meet her and we waited in line 5 hours to be in the 800's to have her sign our book and get a photo with her. She was gracious, well respected, inspiring and worth waiting for.
The lunatic fringe element of my mother and brother viewed the day's excursion as 'vomit' inducing and joyless as they so freely drink the koolaid.......all while believing that my liking her makes ME the lunatic fringe element of the family. When both groups are so far from center do they eventually end up at the same spot? It is all in the perspective I guess.
GO SARAH!

Palin AGAIN?
It is extremely funny to me that the people keeping Gov. Palin in the media are WOMEN who hate her. They just can't let it go. Anonymous leaks ala National Enquirer style actually make national news night after night after night?
We get it already. The messiah won the election. Now why is Gov. Palin still a thorn in the side of so many people? 1) She is a very successful woman who came 'this close' to the Presidency and the left and the crazy left leaning Republicans have to make sure she will not be a threat in 2012. 2) Pro-abortionists hate her PRO LIFE values. 3) Weak minded liberal leaning (no matter what party) women hate ALL she stands for. They just can't handle her. They knock her as 'not woman enough' and 'not a real feminist' because she doesn't support the killing of LIFE.
The BIGGEST detractors of Palin are women. I can't say that enough. Women who think they are enlightened, intellectual, intelligent, progressive....she made it and they didn't. Women are the worst at supporting women. They always have been and they always will be. We aren't any further ahead in our women's rights issues than we were 100 years ago. Sure, we have the vote, but what good is it? Women are going to bring each other down no matter what.
The left leaning women will only be happy when the women THEY approve of hits the scene. I can guarantee this. She will not represent 50% of the women in the US.
one of my “sisters” is Camille Paglia (http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2008/11/12/palin/index1.html):
“I like Sarah Palin, and I’ve heartily enjoyed her arrival on the national stage. As a career classroom teacher, I can see how smart she is — and quite frankly, I think the people who don’t see it are the stupid ones, wrapped in the fuzzy mummy-gauze of their own worn-out partisan dogma. So she doesn’t speak the King’s English — big whoop! There is a powerful clarity of consciousness in her eyes. She uses language with the jumps, breaks and rippling momentum of a be-bop saxophonist. I stand on what I said (as a staunch pro-choice advocate) in my last two columns — that Palin as a pro-life wife, mother and ambitious professional represents the next big shift in feminism. Pro-life women will save feminism by expanding it, particularly into the more traditional Third World.
“As for the Democrats who sneered and howled that Palin was unprepared to be a vice-presidential nominee — what navel-gazing hypocrisy! What protests were raised in the party or mainstream media when John Edwards, with vastly less political experience than Palin, got John Kerry’s nod for veep four years ago? And Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, for whom I lobbied to be Obama’s pick and who was on everyone’s short list for months, has a record indistinguishable from Palin’s. Whatever knowledge deficit Palin has about the federal bureaucracy or international affairs (outside the normal purview of governors) will hopefully be remedied during the next eight years of the Obama presidencies.”
As Dennis Miller says: "Women are mean to other women." and reminds us of how Katie 'softball' Couric was treated on the scene. Too bad she had to dish out to another woman what had been done to her.

Why are liberals afraid of Governor Palin?
The election is over. The angry liberal candidate won. So why does the liberal left continue to go after Governor Palin? Detractors of Palin, Rep. and Dem. alike, like to blame Palin for McCain's election loss. They forget one thing. McCain lost because he was not REPUBLICAN enough. Palin was chosen because she is PRO-LIFE, PRO-GUN, PRO-DRILL, PR0-TAX CUTS. In a word, REPUBLICAN.
Get this 'factual' (snort...said with heavy sarcasm) report from Newsweek:
"Apparently, according to Newsweek, Gov. Palin refused to appear onstage with a New Hampshire Senator and a New Hampshire Senate candidate because they are pro-choice. (H/T).
Except that the Senator in question, John Sununu, is pro-life.And except that the other candidate wasn't running for the Senate (Newsweek may have missed this, but Sununu was up for re-election, so there were not two Republicans running for the job this year).
And except that she did do public appearances with both men.
And except that she did make public appearances with other pro-choicers.
But you know, other than getting basically every possible fact wrong, Newsweek's doing OK there.(redstate.com)
Michael Eisenstadt, supposed McCain aide, who has been 'leaking' negative info about Governor Palin an supposedly confessed on his own blog is a HOAX. The man is notorious for creating drama and 'hoax' blogs to create chaotic situations. This time he decided to bring Palin down (note: the LEFT HATES HER).
The slurs against Gov. Palin are ridiculous and not even worth going into on this blog. None of them made sense from the beginning and just so the how looney the left (and left leaning 'republican's) really are.

Media determined to bury Palin and her popularity
A Few Things You'd Have to Believe to Believe What McCain Staffers Say About Sarah Palin
Let's add some context to the Carl Cameron and Newsweek airing of rumors from anonymous McCain/Palin staffers. The most controversial claims, all of which come without names attached because the purveyors are apparently determined to stick around to undermine future campaigns and candidates, are that Palin didn't know that Africa was a continent as opposed to a country, and that she didn't know who the members of NAFTA were.
Let's start with NAFTA. If folks want to believe Gov. Sarah Palin did not know even the most basic facts about NAFTA, they have to believe a couple other improbable things.
Before she became governor, Palin's husband Todd's commercial fishing business on Bristol Bay accounted a decent percentage of the family's income. The couple reported about $46,000 from the business last year on a license Todd purchased from his grandfather in the 1970s. He has been a lifelong commercial fisherman and she has often been his partner both in the business and literally on the boat.
Surely while the two were working in the commercial salmon fishing industry in post-NAFTA Alaska, they would not have missed the effect farmed-salmon imports from Canada had on the industry, causing the number of fisherman, the size of the harvest, and the value of permits to go down significantly in Alaska. According to a 2003 AP article:
"This loss of equity, which for self-employed fishermen is equivalent to retirement accounts, will continue to reverberate throughout the Alaska economy in coming years," Gilbertsen said.
The economic losses have ricocheted through coastal communities as fewer fishermen have caused a decline in both crews and shore-based services. Monthly employment in the state's seafood processing industry fell from 11,200 in 1992 to 7,400 in 2002.
Chile and Canada are the two major suppliers to the U.S. market of farm-raised salmon. The two countries accounted for 94 percent of the Atlantic pen-reared salmon, valued at $818 million.
Canada is a partner in the North American Free Trade Agreement, which removed certain trade barriers, and Chile has fewer environmental regulations and cheap labor, the analysis showed.
"The fact that Canada is a NAFTA partner, and that the U.S. has just approved a bilateral free trade agreement with Chile, would seem to indicate that these imports will continue to grow," Gilbertsen said.
So, let's say for argument's sake the couple missed that bit of information. They would also have had to miss the fact that in 2002, the federal government decided to make commercial salmon fisherman on Alaska's Bristol Bay eligible for Trade Adjustment Assistance under the North American Free Trade Agreement due to the impact Canada's farmed-salmon had on the industry. From a 2002 AP brief:
The U.S. Department of Labor has certified about 200 commercial salmon fishermen in the Bristol Bay area as eligible to apply for transitional adjustment assistance under the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The certifications cover Sept. 5, 2001, to Nov. 25, 2004. Workers laid off or reduced to part-time work during that time may be eligible for extra benefits and services.
The Labor Department found that major customers for Bristol Bay salmon increased their reliance on imports of salmon from Canada, adversely affecting fishermen.
NAFTA authorizes assistance to cover workers affected because of increased imports from Mexico or Canada or shifts in production to those countries.
After they are certified as eligible, workers may apply for benefits at a state employment service office. They may receive retraining services, career counseling, job placement assistance and income support.
On the flip side of the coin, Canada is within the top three of Alaska's trading partners, a position it moved into in the increased trade years after NAFTA was passed. It's a huge market for seafood and metals mined in Alaska.
Disgruntled McCain staffers not only require you to believe that the chief executive of the state of Alaska knew nothing about one of her state's most important trading partners, but that she was equally oblivious to the economic winds affecting the industry that provided her very own livelihood. Perhaps they should head to the NYT next, which has a history of employing anyone who has a penchant for writing slam books about Republicans.
This accusation didn't pass the smell test to begin with, but because McCain staffers are requiring us to defend our popular former vice presidential nominee against NYT-like attacks, there are some facts to consider.

Obama a genius? Where is the proof?
Misopalinism [Victor Davis Hanson]
I remain convinced that the continuing furor over (as opposed to disagreement with) Palin still originates in large part from class, cultural, and geographical disdain. So I am struck how often criticism of Palin could be more than equally applied to both Obama and Biden—but rarely is. I would be curious to collate Mrs. Palin's undergraduate transcript with that of Mr. Obama's, but learn that would be impossible since for some unknown reason the latter at Columbia is under lock and key. No comment on Mr. Biden's, since long ago we learned that the senator is not factual in his recall of matters academic.Anti-intellectual and anti-enlightenment? Anyone who collates the rantings of Rev. Wright, the 20-year erstwhile spiritual advisor to Mr. Obama (whom 'I could no more disown than ....' ) would find discourses on crackpot anti-black middle-classness, strange new bombs primed to hunt down blacks and Arabs, and something called black liberation theology that is on an intellectual par with phrenology. If one were to review the lunatic groups that received money from the Chicago Anneberg Challenge or the Woods Fund, one could infer that neither logic nor facts weighed into Obama's decision-making.
Scholarship? I know of no legal scholarly papers published by Obama, either as an editor at Harvard Law Review or a lecturer at the Chicago Law School; what little op-ed commentary he has written (cf. his post 9/11 essay) is on par with Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis. His memoirs are well crafted, but their content is ignored since it offers a logical explanation for everyone from Wright to Ayers, and everything from redistribution to racialism.
Both Obama's and Biden's historical recall is at times frightening (e.g., We liberated Auschwitz; the largely Anglo-American Berlin Airflift was a world effort; FDR went on TV as President in 1929; Hezbollah is out of Lebanon; etc.).
Their popular notion of science often turns puerile (checking for proper tire pressure substitutes for the energy captured by tapping into billions of barrels in reserves of new oil; we are not to burn coal—when it currently supplies half the power for our electrical generation and we sit atop the world's largest coal reserves, etc.). If we turn to math, we learn there are either 57 or 47 states, and J-O-B-S is a three-letter word.
And while Ms. Palin is donating her clothes to charity, I am not sure that Team Obama can do the same with the now discarded multimillion-dollar faux-Greek columns and pediments or the now obsolete vero possumus seal.
I have no problem with admitting (thankfully) that Palin is no Adlai Stevenson, but why do others apparently assume that Obama or Biden is?

Hilary praises Palin!
Sen. Clinton had this to say about Gov. Palin's debate: "It's amazing, you know, she's been thrust into the national spotlight with very little preparation and I think that, all things considered, you saw a very composed and effective debater last night."
Governor Palin proved she could handle herself in a Presidential and competent manner tonight. As Michelle Malkin notes, "She was warm, fresh, funny, confident, energetic, personable, relentless, and on message. She roasted Obama’s flip-flops on the surge and tea-with-dictators declarations, dinged Biden’s bash-Bush rhetoric, challenged the blame-America defeatism of the Left, and exuded the sunny optimism that energized the base in the first place.
"Her performance underscored the underhandedness of the hatchet job editors at ABC News and CBS News, which failed to capture her solid competence on the whole array of foreign and domestic policy issues on the debate table tonight."
The pundits, liberals, and others will go crazy tomorrow with "Palin Derangement Syndrome", but that isn't anything new......
Article from American Thinker author Dunn: "Sarah Palin is the only one with any of the requisite executive experience required for office. She is the sole candidate who has ever run anything larger than a college debating society. If she is not qualified, none of them are, and we'd better dump 'em all and start over...........Only two senators have been elected president in this century: Warren G. Harding and John F. Kennedy. (Johnson, Bush, Sr., and Truman all served as VPs before entering the Oval Office.).......Americans like governors -- somebody with hands-on experience at running a state who can demonstrate that experience. McKinley, Wilson, Coolidge, FDR, Reagan, Clinton, and George W. were all successful governors before becoming president. ........The differences between running a town, a state, and a country are matters of degree, not of essence. The same skills and abilities are required in each case........no foreign policy experience????......except for the easily demonstrated fact that Governor Palin, on August 27th of this year, completed a pipeline agreement with Canada, which is a foreign country. The agreement had been stymied for over two decades by various interests in Alaskan state government. Palin got it wrapped up in that busy eighteen months.

Liberals ignore plight of muslim women while bashing Palin
http://www.gatewaypundit.com/: "Liberal Media Rips Palin-- Defends Violence Against Iranian Women
Iran arrested up to 150,000 women last year for breaking the strict dress code.This doesn't appear to bother the staff at the St. Petersburg Times.It's a sad day in America when propaganda writing fascists will deny the reality of daily life in Iran because of their hate for Sarah Palin.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin released a speech she was planning on giving in New York last week at an anti-Ahmadinejad rally before Democrats forced Jewish groups to disinvite the Republican vice presidential candidate:
"It is said that the measure of a country is the treatment of its most vulnerable citizens. By that standard, the Iranian government is both oppressive and barbaric. Under President Ahmadinejad's rule, Iranian women are some of the most vulnerable citizens. If an Iranian woman shows too much hair in public, she risks being beaten or killed."

St. Petersburg Times dislikes Palin so much they wrote this: "Modesty has been a component of Islam since the Prophet Mohammed revealed purported advice on the subject from God in the seventh century. It has been interpreted differently among and within Muslim cultures around the world, including Iran. In 1936, Iran's largely secular ruler Reza Shah Pahlavi, intent on modernizing the country, banned the practice of wearing the veil, known in the Muslim world as hejab. That law was rescinded after Pahlavi was forced to relinquish power in 1941, but the policy of discouraging and disparaging hejab remained, said Ziba Mir-Hosseini, an Iranian anthropologist and a visiting professor at the New York University School of Law."
Liberals ONLY defend women when it is politically expedient for them to do so.

NY Times prints complete Palin LIE while Obama sues if his name is pronounced wrong
Today's NY Times Palin Smear Piece... Based On COMPLETE LIE
On its editorial page today The New York Times published a complete lie about Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska:"Wasilla Watch: Sarah Palin and the Rape Kits"
This is completely false.** There is not one single record of the Wasilla police department charging any rape victim for an examination.Not one.
The Finance Department searched all financial records on our system for fiscal year 2000, 2001 and 2002. There are no records of billings to or collections from rape victims or their insurance companies in our system. The financial computer system goes back to the beginning of fiscal year 2000, and accounts receivable backup documentation goes back six (6) years per our records retention schedule.A review of files and case reports within the Wasilla Police Department has found no record of sexual assault victims being billed for forensic exams. State law AS 18.68.040, which was effective August 12, 2000, would have prohibited any such billings after that date.
****liberals...please explain to me why YOUR campaign is based upon entire LIES and YOUR candidate sues others for anything negative? change? hope? Pathetic!

Palin/Couric
Palin is being ripped in the liberal press (what is new?) and I really am not worried and you shouldn't be either....besides we have Bill Clinton on our side with the "cracker vote" in Florida!
Hmmm, not always great responses, certainly nervous but I didn't hear her talking about the 57 states, the Beretta Rifle, FDR going on TV to calm the masses in 1929, etc. I didn't hear her lying about McCain and middle class tax cuts, didn't hear her advocating for ACORN, didn't hear her claiming to merely be a neighbor of Ayers, didn't hear 20 years with Rev. Wright and never hearing anti-white/anti-semitism, didn't hear her refuse to give college records or actual birth certificate or other documentation still being refused, didn't hear anything about life being above his paygrade, didn't hear how she was falsely shot down in Afghanistan, didn't hear paying taxes is more patriotic, etc.
Did someone hear Palin say something that's outright wrong or a lie?
Hmmm, not always great responses, certainly nervous but I didn't hear her talking about the 57 states, the Beretta Rifle, FDR going on TV to calm the masses in 1929, etc. I didn't hear her lying about McCain and middle class tax cuts, didn't hear her advocating for ACORN, didn't hear her claiming to merely be a neighbor of Ayers, didn't hear 20 years with Rev. Wright and never hearing anti-white/anti-semitism, didn't hear her refuse to give college records or actual birth certificate or other documentation still being refused, didn't hear anything about life being above his paygrade, didn't hear how she was falsely shot down in Afghanistan, didn't hear paying taxes is more patriotic, etc.

Right to Privacy NOT a Republican RIGHT
Gov. Sarah Palin's personal email was hacked. More disturbing is the AP--Associated Press--connection in the hacking. The FBI requested information from the AP and the AP REFUSED to give it.
"By refusing to cooperate with the federal investigation into the hacking crime and publicizing the Palins’ other personal Yahoo e-mail account information, the AP openly invited hackers to break into those family accounts as well and endorsed illicit activity to raid private family photos.
The issues are inextricably linked, to borrow a phrase, and raise questions about the propriety of AP’s continued flacking for Barack Obama under the guise of objective journalism." (Michelle Malkin)
It is ironic that the right to privacy is being overlooked in the instance when the LEFT is all about the right to privacy. They are against the wire tapping of terrorists and it is the cornerstone of the argument for Roe vs. Wade--the right to privacy except when it is a Republican VP candidate...and then.....their views are opened to the public. Being a Republican is WORSE than being a terrorist.

Bill Clinton Praises Palin
ABC news Jennifer Parks interview with Former Pres. Bill Clinton gets Palin's appeal and speaks highly of her. He did not give a ringing endorsement of Obama, but did think he would win. He also said his wife's economic plan was better.
On Gov. Palin he said, "she's a-- she's an instinctively effective candidate," he said, "And with a compelling story. I think it was exciting to some, that, that she was a woman. It was exciting that she was from Alaska. It was exciting that she's sort of like the person she is. And she grew up in a, came up in a political culture and a religious culture that is probably well to the right of the American center. But, she didn't basically define herself in those terms," Clinton said.
"She handled herself very well," he said, "I get why she's done so well. She, she's, it's a mistake to underestimate her. She's got good intuitive skills. They're significant."
Pres. Clinton also said this about McCain " former president called Republican presidential candidate John McCain "a great man" and praised GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin as an "instinctively effective candidate."
He said, ""I've never concealed my admiration and affection for Senator McCain. I think he's a great man"

Michelle Obama has claws---meowwww
Michelle Obama asked voters Thursday to make their choice on the issues, not because, "I like that guy" or, "she's cute."'
Might she be talking about Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin?
"I'm talking about me," she said with a smile.
Barack Obama's wife, however, is not on the ticket in the presidential election. Palin is. (Michelle Malkin)

Hackergate --Hacker said, 'nothing incriminating as I had hoped'
http://www.gatewaypundit.com/--- The AP refuses to give information on the hacking of Palin's private emails. Gawker posted all friends and family phone numbers as well as emails.
"Palin hackers traced to Obama's hometown of Chicago."
From " Michelle Malkin also has the details behind this story.It is a must read.
This was written by the hacker at the website that originally posted the information:
I read though the emails... ALL OF THEM... before I posted, and what I concluded was anticlimactic, there was nothing there, nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped, all I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor... And pictures of her family.The source said "rubico10@yahoo.com." was the hacker(?)

Truth about Censorship allegations and Palin
www.gaypatriot.net:
Books allegedly censored by Palin were not even written at the time (Harry Potter books).
No books have ever been censored by Palin.
"If this were a defining issue for her (as some on the lefty blogs seem to think), then how come she didn’t raise it again after she had established herself in local and then state politics?
The last time Sarah Palin inquired about banning books, Barack Obama had been associating with William Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist, for at least a year. Indeed, that association began before Palin’s mayoral election and continued at least through 1999 (three years after Palin’s last inquiry). Obama is the Democratic presidential nominee. Palin is the Republican vice presidential nominee.
And the MSM seems more interested a limited inquiry by Palin over a period of — at most — three months than in an ongoing relationship with Obama over a period of — at least — four years."
Thank you gay patriot for clarifying this issue.....

The women who fear Sarah Palin
Liberal feminists are screaming in the streets and pulling their hair out. How did Palin do it? Why her? Who will actually vote for HER?
The truth is they are scared. In their angry left, pseudo-intellectual diatribes we can almost hear their teeth nashing and many of them have become crazed enough to make their tantrums public...According to Obama supporter and feminist Camille Paglia: "Palin represents "an explosion of a brand new style of muscular American feminism. At her startling debut on that day [of her selection by McCain], she was combining male and female qualities in ways that I have never seen before. And she was somehow able to seem simultaneously reassuringly traditional and gung-ho futurist. In terms of redefining the persona for female authority and leadership, Palin has made the biggest step forward in feminism since Madonna channeled the dominatrix persona of high-glam Marlene Dietrich and rammed pro-sex, pro-beauty feminism down the throats of the prissy, victim-mongering, philistine feminist establishment."
What they won't admit is that they fear her. She has committed the ultimate liberal feminist sin. She believes in G-d and lives her values. She believes in G-d, she prays and she doesn't abort her children AND she will stand by her daughter---who will not abort her grand-child. The truth?
Liberalism is their religion and they worship at the altar of their ego. In one night, this one woman came along and changed the face of feminism FOREVER.
No, angry liberal women will NOT be voting for Palin. Women who don't check their facts and seek their information from sources like Charlie Gibson did will probably not vote for McCain. But there are real, intelligent, educated women who will be voting for McCain and Palin because their maverick approach is REAL and DOCUMENTED. Together they bring a wealth of experience and a value system that scares the HECK out of liberals. As Jeffrey London says, "The guy they fear isn't even on the ticket."

FEMINISTS HATE WOMEN
Here is the Feminist Lie in a nutshell. Feminists HATE REAL WOMEN. In the Feminist Creed YOU are a VICTIM and THEY will SAVE you because you are incapable of taking care of yourself, but remember.....only select women need apply.
Women hating women is hitting an all time high with the nomination of Governor Palin. You would think women would applaud another woman for being the FIRST one to hit the mark. Not so.....THAT is the lie of feminism.
I have sat in amazement in the last week or so as I read articles from woman after woman after woman in government, legislature, professors, journalists, celebrities (OY!) and so forth that are blasting Governor Palin for not being 'woman enough'. As a woman, I am livid. How dare these elitists speak for other women. How dare they speak for me.
Dem Leader Fowler- She's only qualified because she did not have an abortion.
Prof. Wendy Doniger: Palin's biggest hypocrisy is her pretense that she's a woman.
Pamela Anderson- I can't stand her. She can suck it.
Pink- Sarah Palin hates women.
Author Cintra Wilson - She's a f**kable Christian Stepford wife in a ’sexy librarian’ costume.
Wonder Woman Linda Carter- America should be very afraid
These are just some of the articles by women, not to mention all the ones by misogynistic men. The attacks are mean, spiteful, ignorant, hypocritical, distasteful, unethical, and immoral. The other problem is that women are listening.
It is like the girls in school who were always jealous of each other. "It's not fair, I am prettier, smarter, sexier, harder working, more talented, etc" and 'the other girl" comes along and takes the brass ring that the other girls were working for all of their life. They are mad, they are jealous, and they want to bring that girl down. THAT is what these women are doing to Gov. Palin.
In laying open their attacks they expose themselves for the hateful, spiteful, vicious, lying women they are. They expose the lie. Feminists HATE real women.

Gibson's Media Bias and Interview differences with Obama/Palin
First from The Anchoress:
Obama interview:How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?How does it feel to “win”?How does your family feel about your “winning” breaking a glass ceiling?Who will be your VP?Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?Will you accept public finance?What issues is your campaign about?Will you visit Iraq?Will you debate McCain at a town hall?What did you think of your competitor’s [Clinton] speech?
Palin interview:Do you have enough qualifications for the job you’re seeking? Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?Aren’t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?Questions about foreign policy-territorial integrity of Georgia-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO-NATO treaty-Iranian nuclear threat-what to do if Israel attacks Iran-Al Qaeda motivations-the Bush Doctrine-attacking terrorists harbored by PakistanIs America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]
Questions Gibson asked Edwards in 2004 (less experience than Palin): (from Newsbusters)
GIBSON: You speak with such equanimity this morning. Didn’t they make you mad last night?
Edwards: (long useless answer)
Gibson: But were you mad?
Liberal icon, and former San Francisco Mayor, Willie Brown:
Heck, even I didn’t know what the Bush Doctrine was when Charlie Gibson asked her about it the other night on her first national TV interview.
-- PoliPundit
We believe tough questions should be asked of ANY candidate, but why isn't Obama being asked about Ayers, Wright, his lack of experience, his comments about making him an instrument of G-d (that old religion question again...), etc. Fair is Fair and Gibson is not Fair or balanced.

MEDIA BIAS EVIDENT IN ALL NETWORKS
Ex Clinton Aide Mark Penn told CBS.com---"I think here the media is on very dangerous ground. I think that when you see them going through every single expense report that Governor Palin ever filed, if they don't do that for all four of the candidates, they're on very dangerous ground. I think the media so far has been the biggest loser in this race. And they continue to have growing credibility problems. And I think that that's a real problem growing out of this election. The media now, all of the media — not just Fox News, that was perceived as highly partisan — but all of the media is now being viewed as partisan in one way or another. And that is an unfortunate development.
CBSNews.com: So you think the media is being uniquely tough on Palin now?
Mark Penn: Well, I think that the media is doing the kinds of stories on Palin that they're not doing on the other candidates. And that's going to subject them to people concluding that they're giving her a tougher time. Now, the media defense would be, "Yeah, we looked at these other candidates who have been in public life at an earlier time."
Actually, there are glaring holes in the truthful coverage of Obama. Questions that need to be answered are just being ignored and he does carefully crafted interviews to give softball answers that sound pretty, but lack substance.

False Internet claims and rumors fly about McCain's running mate.

Updated: 6:55 PM ET Sep 8, 2008
Summary We've been flooded for the past few days with queries about dubious Internet postings and mass e-mail messages making claims about McCain's running mate, Gov. Palin. We find that many are completely false, or misleading.
Palin did not cut funding for special needs education in Alaska by 62 percent. She didn't cut it at all. In fact, she tripled per-pupil funding over just three years.
She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a "What if?" question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin's first term.
She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She's been registered as a Republican since May 1982.
Palin never endorsed or supported Pat Buchanan for president. She once wore a Buchanan button as a "courtesy" when he visited Wasilla, but shortly afterward she was appointed to co-chair of the campaign of Steve Forbes in the state.
Palin has not pushed for teaching creationism in Alaska's schools. She has said that students should be allowed to "debate both sides" of the evolution question, but she also said creationism "doesn't have to be part of the curriculum."
We'll be looking into other charges in an e-mail by a woman named Anne Kilkenny for a future story. For more explanation of the bullet points above, please read the Analysis
