When right wing news critics get ammunition of this quality, there's something very, very wrong.

Are Newsweek editors actually this unaware of their biases? Yes they are!

Maureen Dowd is one sorry ass ...........  woman.  It's been obvious since way back in the campaign that she can't handle the idea of successful women, women who do things other than make fun of other women.  She is that classic my friends will yell at me for calling.  She is a spiteful woman.  One who cannot accept intelligence or success in other women, because they might steal her man.

Maureen Dowd is insane and should not be writing for a paper like the New York Times.  But this weekend she did because her favorite target, Sarah Palin, did something without explaining why to MODO.

Now, Sarah’s Folly
By MAUREEN DOWD
Published: July 4, 2009

Sarah Palin showed on Friday that in one respect at least, she is qualified to be president.

Caribou Barbie is one nutty puppy.

Usually we don’t find that exquisite battiness in our leaders until they’ve been battered by sordid scandals like Watergate (Nixon), gnawing problems like Vietnam (L.B.J.), or scary threats like biological terrorism (Cheney).
 

That's what my wife's coworker said to me last night.  "He had me until he picked the dummy".

During the primaries we had chatted once or twice and she seemed like the only sane person my wife worked with in the OR.  She'd call about the next day's schedule and when I answered we'd have a short talk about Hillary.

Tonight she's kept me from sleeping.  It's 3:30 am here in the east and I can't get that sentence out of my head.

I answered the phone and she said, "hi".  I asked, "who is this?"  "This is the diehard Hillary supporter who works with your wife", "You didn't vote for John McCain, did you?".  "Of course I did.  I couldn't vote for the crook".

That's when she said, "He had me until he picked the dummy".  I said, "She's the Governor of a state" and she countered with, "She's a dummy".  At a loss for words I said, "hold on, here's the o'bot".

short, unsweet, and to the point: 

As we all know, Newsweek Magazine has been the channel for all the ANONYMOUS sources continuing to spread post-election smears of Governor Palin. 

Let's not forget:

  dkos founder and publisher, Markos Moulitsas, has a job at Newsweek;

  it was dkos, following John McCain's announcent of Sarah Palin as his running mate,  which  quickly started that vicious rumor/lie about Palin's baby not being her own child.

Put two and two together, folks.  What do you think?

Here's another pundit praising the One for his Transformational Unity theme.  I'm copying out a few excerpts for your amusement.

Perfecting the Union by Roger Cohen,  11/06/2008  NYT

.....beyond the economy, beyond health care, there was something even more fundamental at stake in this U.S. election won by Barack Obama: the self-respect of the American people.  .....

Obama made a simple bet and stuck to it. If you trusted in the fundamental decency, civility and good sense of the American people, even at the end of a season of fear and loss, you could forge a new politics and win the day  .......
“In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people,” he declared Tuesday night in his victory speech to a joyous crowd in Chicago.  ......

The mainstream media is still going after Sarah Palin like a pack of hyenas.  They know she could spell trouble for the powerful good ole boys, and clearly want to do her in beforehand, nip her promising political future in the bud. I'm putting 2 and 2 together, and it's sounding pretty conspiratational.  I think it's the Bush guys.  A few weeks ago Bush pundits and supporters were coming out endorsing Obama, and at the same time saying nasty things about Palin.  Well, it's a pay-back-time thing.  Remember the pipeline legislation back up in Alaska?  Palin said no to big oil.  The Bush administration bullies, specifically Cheny's office, were pressuring Governor Palin to toe the line and give the pipeline to their oil buddies.
 
news reports' quotes:
 
"Cheney's staff pressed the Palin administration to draw in the energy companies, said current and former state officials involved in those discussions."

McCain, Palin, Obama or Biden…who is the Dunderhead?

Wake up Democrats! You Have Been Oppressed and Abused

Our beloved blogmother has asked all of us Conflucians to "come out" and explain what we are doing on November 4th, and to choose a word that would summarize our NOBAMA position.

My word is "misogyny," and I'm voting for the 30% Solution in order to begin improving the lives of women throughout this great country.

Aren't the boyz over at Politico just so gosh darned cute.

Does Palin's wardrobe malfunction matter or is it a trivial distraction as the GOP says?

They ask the question as they trivialize the campaign by asking the question and keeping the dumb ass discussion going for another wasted day.  And I used to think they had brains over there.  Excuse me but they are AssHats.

Today I finally made a decision to write-in Hillary on my ballot this year.  But then I read the "news" about McCain's "Palin problem"(no link, Chuck Todd, not worth it).  I read that Palin is a "drag on the ticket"(where have we heard that before?) and polls a higher negative than positive rating among the electorate, odd for a woman who netted SNL their highest ratings in 14 years, bizarre for a lady who consistantly outdraws Obama at her rallies.  Oh, she also spent too much campaign money on her wardrobe(which I LOVE, I always thought Hillary should wear tall boots to debate).  I guess she was supposed to campaign in her Parka and snow shoes or whatever. Oh, and she also lacks the experience.  Now that pipeline she's got going and raising taxes on the oil companies may be the right experience for like a Hooters waitress, but not a Vice President. 

Here is the speech I will deliver in several places in New Mexico this weekend.

NEW MEXICO SPEECH

My name is Lynette Long. I am a feminist, a mother, a Democrat and an ardent Hillary Clinton supporter and I am voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin on November 4.
