2. Well, if that's the case, I hope they pace themselves...
Building all the way up to the election and then a real barnburner (igloo-burner?) for the denouement.

I hope some of it involves the KKK possibility I was reading about here.
Because that'd be damn sweet. I want this woman to go DOWN. No vice presidency for you, thank you very much.

20. Me too

When I got up this morning, what bothers me the most about Palin has crystalized.

She is not what she says she is, and she lies pathologically. The oil pipeline that will end america's energy independence, sold to and built by Canada. The special needs advocate who cut the special ed budget by 62%. The family values candidate who seeks to impose her will and religious moral beliefs on me, is out having affairs, gives birth and figures that is what parenting is about such that she already has a vandal, at least one unwed teen, and gave that teen HER CHOICE about what to do with her pregnancy (a choice she wishes to deny everyone else's daughter). A supporter of AK's succession from the nation, who is willing to call herself a country first person so long as she can be my VP to run a nation she no longer wants to be a citizen of. On and on in this vein.

And now the McCain camp threw out the gauntlet this am with their spokesperson on Morning Joe, that this liar will not be taking questions from "the media", because "you aren't important". Only what Palin wishes to spoon feed, without questioning, to the american public. More smart-ass, condescending one liners from someone who just doesn't get it, who figures doing an end run around the dumber part of the american public will be a cakewalk.

A candidate with questionable views, a bad record that ultimately won't survive scrutiny, and a campaign that plans to refuse any questions about these matters. I don't care how she is removed, but I look forward to the process.

26. Yep. I was yelling at the screen every time she lied, and that was a lot.
I could even recite the actual facts off the cuff while she spoke. It was just ridiculous how the lies flowed from her.

3. I'm really happy with the NE.
It's sad when they do more vetting than McCain.

10. Not to mention the MSM
Fortunately, the Right were peeing themselves silly over what the NE did to Edwards, so they'll just have to eat it this time.

31. Isn't that the truth???!!!
I used to shudder when I walked past the thing on the racks at the checkout!!!

But the way things are going, The Enquirer may be our only hope at getting the truth out.

Bring it on!!!!

9. It's not surprising. She rose to power in the era of Rove.
People who came into politics at that time came in because they were attracted by the filth and nastiness Rove injected into American politics. People who love nastiness in politics, usually have filth in other areas of their lives.

12. You know the best part?
All the effort that the RW bloviators put in during the Edwards scandal to convince us that the NE was a really reliable journalistic source and not just the paper of Bigfoot and Batboy. Now it's coming back to bite them in the ass bigtime. I love it.

I've never paid much attention to the NE, but I'm pretty sure Bat Boy belongs to World Weekly News.
I never thought I'd say this about a tabloid, but World Weekly News isn't in the same league as the NE.

19. BRING IT ON!
I must admit I was one of those begging other posters
to soften up their attacks on the poor thing.

But now, after last night,
I want blood!

BRING HER DOWN!
BRING DOWN THE WHOLE DAMN PARTY!!

28. I only hope it's stuff Repubs will find deal-breaking.
Cause the left is already against her, you know?

Enough has to come out to create an image with the casual Indy voter that she just isn't good.

What do you say to change the mind of people whose minds are made up? How do you break through to people who aren't interested in facts, only feel-good imagery?

34. Not sure I trust the National Enqurier
I wonder about the owner(s) of the National Enquirer. If they really have dirt on Palin, then I bet powerful Republican backers will put pressure on the owner of the National Enquirer to suppress the story. In that case, we have to hope the stories get leaked, and are run on some other site.

35. A few guesses
They go by circulation possibilities. They have been disciplined by lawsuits. They have an open field left to them by the submissive MSM. They therefore have little to fear from Dem celebs. That leaves the call in the night from GOP black baggers. They have been very daring, with impunity going after Bush in direct correlation to his poll numbers. Their original propensity to make up stuff because the real news they couldn't compete with has been turned around to out sensationalize the truth the new "tabloid" media won't go near.

I can imagine seeing the Onion, the NE and the Daily Show being part of a new media corporation monopolizing the truth in revenge against the MSM for stealing the territory of the imaginary. And still fulfill their mission of satire, comedy or sensationalism
