]]> Comment on There was a wink, but no debate… by Gordon http://www.mccranium.org/2008/10/03/there-was-no-debate/#comment-120505 Gordon Sat, 04 Oct 2008 08:16:41 +0000 http://www.mccranium.org/?p=877#comment-120505 Her folksy shtick is really starting to grate my nerves. I have never felt such antipathy towards someone seeking political office. For the most part I can accept political difference and respect politicians as people. But Palin is the first politician I have come to truly hate. Visceral hatred, which is an emotion I am not proud of. She is such a cynical joke it is less than funny. And if I hear "also" and "you beeetcha" come out of those <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/30/is-sarah-palins-lipliner_n_130352.html" rel="nofollow">tattooed lips of hers again</a> I think I am going to be pushed over the edge. Substance-less hack, which is the worst kind. Believe it or not I was so angry about Hillary not getting the nomination that I was seriously contemplating not voting or even voting McCain this year. But not now. Not after the Palin pick. It shows such a utter disregard for the American people. And to think that McCain was once considered a credible and potential VP pick for Kerry. But to see him pursuing the washed up beauty queen demographic is such a shame. Her folksy shtick is really starting to grate my nerves.

Like the idea of feeling the PRESSURE to die because you don't want to be a burden anymore? Modern progressives love the idea of "Freedoms" so that they can later on become slaves. Ironic, and pathetic. A choice, in this case, all too soon becomes an obligation. Like the idea of feeling the PRESSURE to die because you don’t want to be a burden anymore?

The "journalists" are supposed to be those reports and anchors on CBS, NBC, ABC, and of course, FOXNEWS as well. Journalism, by definition, is unbiased.

Right near the top there will be a clip which places a part of Saturday's SNL parody next to a question from the Couric interview. The genius is that the exchange on SNL with Fey for that question was a direct reenactment from the Couric interview, really without any exaggeration.

Yeah... those network were all in his pocket when he was suffering withering criticism about Rev. Wright or when they were all suckling on the teat of the Celebrity theme. The Rethuglicans believe that anything not explicitly for the GOP is completely against them. That's why they throw themselves on the alter of FauxNews. FNC is the GOP version of Pravda. At least the Obama Channel is paid advertising and not a blatant partisan endorsement wrapped in the guise of 'mainstream' thinking.
