====================VERY FUNNY ARTICLE


ST. PAUL, Minn. — On behalf of the media, I would like to say we are sorry.

On behalf of the elite media, I would like to say we are very sorry.

We have asked questions this week that we should never have asked.

We have asked pathetic questions like: Who is Sarah Palin? What is her record? Where does she stand on the issues? And is she is qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?

We have asked mean questions like: How well did John McCain know her before he selected her? How well did his campaign vet her? And was she his first choice?

Bad questions. Bad media

1. Just read that article on Yahoo - rate it up there!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080904/pl_politico/13143

But where did we go wrong with Sarah Palin? Let me count the ways:

First, we should have stuck to the warm, human interest stuff like how she likes mooseburgers and hit an important free throw at her high school basketball tournament even though she had a stress fracture.

Second, we should have stuck to the press release stuff like how she opposed the Bridge to Nowhere (after she supported it).

Third, we should never have strayed into the other stuff. Like when The Washington Post recently wrote: “Palin is under investigation by a bipartisan state legislative body. … Palin had promised to cooperate with the legislative inquiry, but this week she hired a lawyer to fight to move the case to the jurisdiction of the state personnel board, which Palin appoints.”

Why go there? What trees does that plant?

Fourth, we should stop making with all the questions already. She gave a really good speech. And why go beyond that? As we all know, speeches cannot be written by others and rehearsed for days. They are true windows to the soul.

Unless they are delivered by Barack Obama, that is. In which case, as Palin said Wednesday, speeches are just a “cloud of rhetoric.”

Much, much more juicy goodness!

2. Was she his first choice? Makes me think Huckabee has a story to tell!!

Palin's secessionist thread may actually be a bid for The South, which was supposed to have been Huckabee's card. Do you think Huckabee was just too much of a maverick?

P.S. It was Dobson's pick.

4. The men behind the (bush*/cheney) curtain couldn't control Huck like they can Sarah

IMO, that's the difference.

7. Perhaps he's too honest? too much personal conscience? too Free?

[me b zola]

9. And not as likely to be pressured into supporting wars for profit

I'm no fan of Huckabee, he's pretty scary with his social views. But I don't believe that his conscience would allow him to begin or support wars when he knows that they are wrong. The bush* cabal wants idiots that they can control. Sarah is their woman.

10. And Wars 'R U.S. is what is next for America, land of the Slave, home of the Fearful.

11. P.S. Where is his branch of Christianity relative to the Evangelicals?

The Re :puke: s just chose Evangelicals as THE party over everyone else?

Very interesting religious schisms going on here.

12. I'm not sure what particular flavor of nutty he is...

...but he is a nut. Against women's reproductive rights, creationism, prayer in school, I believe all describe some of his social views.

3. Remember what I said about Failin hitting it out of the park?

It's easy to hit one out of the park when the repukes move the fences in 200 feet. I'm going to make this my new sig line.

time but I'll take the truth....its a nice refresher from the morons they normally emulate..
