    My collie says:

    Michelle Malkin is way ahead of me. I’m still trying to figure out why Amanda Marcotte told us that it was “none of our business” on the day that the Edwards story broke with the MSM — but when the Bristol Palin story broke Monday, Amanda (and her web-site) were all over it like stink on a shiite.

    Don’t interrupt her (Michelle). She’s on a roll.

    Yeah, but each leftist state has one news-rag left to spout the approved line.
    Maybe each and every MSM outlet thinks it will be the next version of Al Jazeera in the Middle East, KCNA in North Korea, or TVES in Chavez-land.

    Heh. As much as you want to believe otherwise, the Obama speech was, if not a home run, at least a triple down the line.

    The Enquirer stuff makes for an awkward situation, doesn’t it? A few weeks ago, we were all praising them for their reporting on Edwards and breaking the story. Maybe it’s a blind squirrel thing.

    Let’s see what it’s all about first. My praise for the NE was basically that they were doing the job of the MSM, who ignored the story. Right now, the MSM is doing a bang-up job on Sarah, so I’m not quite sure what else new is out there.

    When the movie “Juno” came out the Us Magazine & the liberal media gave this “heartfelt” movie about an unwed teenager shining reviews! 4 Stars from Us Magazine in fact!

    Here’s what the US review said about Juno in their review:

    Newcomer Ellen Page plants herself at center stage and never lets go as Juno, a quirky teen who beds best buddy Bleeker (Michael Cera), gets knocked up and plans to give the baby to a childless couple (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman). Charming and funny, the dramedy’s filled with offbeat situations — such as showing Juno in an abortion clinic where a classmate is protesting, or fessing up to her sympathetic father and stepmother. It’s a sleeper that could be this year’s Little Miss Sunshine.

    Yes, charming, unless you’re a Republican/Conservative who actually KEEPS your baby..

    Then it’s a “Scandal”.

    Shortly after the end of this clip, Olbermann’s head exploded. Fortunately for the cleaning crew, his head was empty, so clean-up was no biggie.

    Unfortunately, the rest of him is full of bull$h*t and endangers all who come into contact with him.
    I never liked the guy when he was on ESPN, and do not like him at all now. Normally, I am not given to thoughts of unprovoked violence. But if I were ever to meet Olberman, I think that I would like to bust his nose for him. Just to erase that smarmy little smirk off of his face. It gives me great pleasure to know that I am man enough do it and there’s not a thing that he could do to stop me. Cause he’s a sissy-boy. But, that would only make him a martyr for the loonies on the left. Let’s give him and the rest of the libbies a good whuppin’ come election day. That will leave deeper scars on their physce than a bloody nose!

    Since I’m, sadly, not pulling down a quarter of a million dollars a year, my tax bill should stay about the same.

    That’s pretty funny. It’s not lost on me that Governor Palin’s selection and possible opportunity mirrors the spirit of movies that liberals love to break out three hankies for:

    Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

    Dave

    Man of the Year

    The American President

    The only problem is that Governor Palin is not a liberal.

    Yup. But if you think PDS is bad now – watch it go into hyper drive after she’s sworn in. By comparison, Dan Quayle and Dick Chaney were treated with more dignity and respect than Sarah Palin will ever get from the MSM .

    so you agree that Obama’s wife and kids are fair game. right? RIGHT? Because just a couple months ago Obama said to lay off his wife. But he and she are in the spotlight, right?

    Rusty’s explanation explains nothing, in that it’s an empty syllogism:

    Palin’s in the spotlight

    Being in the spotlight means the press puts a lot of attention on you [itself a tautology]

    THEREFORE whatever topic the press decides to focus its spotlight on, it should be expected.

    that’s not remotely correct. He was going to speak at Barack’s coronation
    nomination.

    He was being talked about (by Barack’s people) as a candidate for AG in Barack’s administration.

    Pelosi was pushing Edwards as VP.

    the LA Times ALONE has more than 20 articles involving Edwards in June 2008.

    That’s hardly being “out of the news”.

    John Edwards ended up OUT of the news because the liberal media wanted him out, ONCE they knew they could no longer suppress his story..

    Another difference is that he lied & cheated regarding his mistakes..

    At no time has Bristol or her Mother Sarah tried to hide the truth about the pregnancy.

    If the media were at all trying to be objective, they would have used a backhoe in the Edwards story, instead of a dump truck full of smelly “back fill”.

    Really? Even here? Or just when they bash republicans?

    If they are such great capitalists, why don’t we issue out a windfall profits tax on them and give the money to the poor. Isn’t that the liberal way, or is this blog slowly but surely converting you to conservatism?

    What a lame excuse. So magazines want to make money so they slam Palin, yet the Enquirer must not want to make money so they print old news?

    We see how bad it has been just in the past few days. Imagine how bad this would be with the unFairness Doctrine in place to protect the left.

SEVEN MONTHS LATER THEY STILL WEREN’T INVESTIGATING, BUT WITHIN SEVEN DAYS MRS PALIN AND HER CHILDREN AND HER HUSBAND AND HER NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR HAVE ALL HAD MEDIA PROCTOLOGICAL EXAMS. TODAY MRS PALIN HAS A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO ISN’T MARRIED AND IS PREGNANT. OBAMA’S OWN MOTHER WAS SEVENTEEN, PREGNANT, AND UNMARRIED UNLESS OBAMA WAS BORN 3 – 4 MONTHS EARLY. HIS MOTHER WAS DIVORCED AND REMARRIED TO SOMEONE ELSE WHEN HE WAS 6. SO MRS PALIN, YOUR DAUGHTER’S CHILD COULD GROW UP TO BECOME A PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE, AS I’M SURE HIS/HER GRANDMOTHER WILL BE.

    This magazine showed up at my house weeks ago (uninvited). I plan to take out the nifty little sign me up card and send it in with the Obama Campaign address.

    These silly little cards fall out of the magazine, so you can simply go to the library, pick up a magazine, shake it, and mail in the cards. No problem.

    If we all do this, then the magazine will get to pay all of the postage and the Obama campaign gets the magazine sent to them. Win Win situation.
