Big Headlines

News flash: Megan, the other McCain, supports Mitt Romney. Who would have guessed it. Does this give anyone a clue to why catty Megan has been scratching at Palin since Sarah was selected to be the vp candidate?
News flash: Congrats to Newbusters for a great sarcastic hit on how the media and the good old boys blame Palin for everything including the Japan disaster.
News flash: That in the loop Fix guy tells us how Palin is now as unpopular as Pelosi. How could that have happened? How about daily clubbing by the media and the boring, old boys (and girls) network who are also in the loop. That loopy mob is destroying America. Handing over the reins to a fearless, independent leader like Palin will not come without a fight. Those who think they are the only ones to drink at the fountain of power, like Rove and his motley crew, have a strangle hold on the GOP and America. Stay tuned for updates..

Telling It Like It Isn't, Again

The big boys in the GOP are out there trying to stomp Sarah Palin again. You know who they are. They are the power brokers who are jumping up and down in alarm again. Their blood pressure is sky-high in fear that a truly independent Palin could get the GOP presidental nomation. Should that happen, the big boys will shrink to very little boys. There are also a couple of little women in the GOP who have also decided they need to warn us about the dangers of Palin. We should believe these warnings, why? I certainly don't want to live my voting life based on the rantings of Megan, you know the other McCain. Then there is noonan, the incredible shrinking noonan and so on. The most that can be said for these folks is that they have the ears of the hacks at politico. Indeed they seem to suck at the breast of politico and all that is produced is sour milk. Every other day politico burps forth this sour milk in the name of warning us against the only true independent in the political mix today, Sarah Palin. Can I hope these criers will just go away? Ok. I hope these criers will just go away.

Milbank lost in space

In a desperate scream for attention, the one and only Dana Milbank loudly proclaimed he was not going to write about Sarah Palin for a month. Gee whiz!
Wonder if he ever heard of censorship and who the next politican will be that he doesn't write about for a month? My guess, he reserved this blackout for Palin alone.
Then he tells us, after a month, that he has gone for a month without writing about Palin. Earth to Milbank, no one cares!
Aside from the fact you have revealed  yourself as a writer tainted by all sorts of weird phobias concerning women politicans, no one really cares! It was a cheap stunt aimed at getting attention for the one and only. It's still a cheap stunt.

Polling, polling, polling away

Another day, another poll from the media  copy cats telling everyone able to read that Sarah Palin is not doing well in the polls. I have never heard of so many polls. It is like poll fever is showing up like spotted dog fever. Polling, polling, polling away the media fence sitters have joined voices with the GOP big boys to tell us all why Palin can't, won't. shouldn't run for president. These pollers and the GOP long pants boys are trying so hard to convince us, and maybe Palin, that she is wasting her time even thinking of running for president. Here's how it goes. The media and the GOP inner circle tell us who should run and who shouldn't run and who we should vote for as well. I say we can save the country a lot of money and save ourselves a lot of turmoil by just cancelling the elections. After all the media pollers and the talkers and the GOP big boys with little minds and no imagination certainly know best. Don't they? The stable of GOP candidates minus Palin looks like the latest oldies but goodies line up of the GOP good old boys show. Nap time, anyone?

What A Suprise, Not.

Shortly after stalker Joe was accused of leaking an anti-Palin unprinted, gossip laden manuscript by Bailey and that mud dweller to news organizations, the media follow cats rushed out to say that his rancid rant about Sarah Palin will be released in September. The compliant media is taken in again. Perched on their perches, waiting for someone, anyone, to hand them some mouldy crumbs to feast on, the media did stalker Joe's pre-publicity work for him free. Reporters promoted an unprinted, none fact checked manuscript as fact and then copy catted to report on stalker Joe's sure to be poison stained publication. Joe stirred this fire. It wasn't the media. These organizations too often rewrite stuff from blogs, gossip columns, stalker Joe types, and anywhere else they can pick up a fake story about Sarah Palin. Independent reporting is rarely done. The media has fallen from truth seekers to copy cats perched on a fence waiting for someone, anyone, to give them a crumb of anti-Palin gossip to rush into print. Guys, anyone ever think of fact checking this garbage? Yeah, I didn't think so. The media is more about fiction and less about facts.    

Politico Takes the Low Road, Again

The petty gossip, distortions and massive junk about Sarah Palin coming from the so called "book" scratched together by Frank Bailey and the Devon mud dweller is being lapped up by the compliant and parrot-like media. No offense to the parrots of the world. But there isn't any question that when it comes to anything with Palin's name attached, these scribes flock together and mindlessly repeat each other. I imagine them sitting in their chairs, perching I should say, waiting to join in the next repeating. Politico, which positions iself as a reputable bunch of birds, is one of the worst offenders when it comes to Palin and repeating. These boys preen themselves every day on Palin gossip. The main preeners swooping down to peck up every grain of stuff in the mud and attach it to 56 point headlines are Andy Barr and Jonathan Martin with Ben Smith hot on their trail, or tail. If these boys spent as much time repeating trash about Romney, Huckabee or even Gingrich well then they would be pecking equally. But the boys at Politico nod off when it comes to the other guys but really relish repeating everything about Palin and casting it in a negative light.  These boys at Politico stick together and they don't play nice when it comes to that Palin woman.  The latest mud slamming foray comes as they flop around in Bailey and Devon's puddles. They swoop in like vultures drawn to flesh and they feed on it. The Politico boys repeat and promote the fantasy that Palin has bad layers they are pecking away
. When the reported leaker of the Bailey-Devin babblescript, old stalker Joe spreads his droppings about Palin, well we just know the Politico trio of Martin, Barr and Smith will gobble them up and parrot them. Boys will be boys but these bully boys are not professional journalists and they put the parrots of the natural world to shame.

Another Day, Another Muddy Tail

It just never stops. Another day and another Palin hanger-on slids out on thin ice to try to defame Sarah Palin. This hanger-on is Frank Bailey and he is accompanied on his self-serving slam by that Devon creature who lives aptly enough in the mudflats. Muddy tale by a couple of mudslingers egged on by that Palin stalker McDonald who is getting ready to throw his own bucket of muck on anyone with a few bucks to spare and dumb enough to buy it. Now this crew has an agenda and one of the agendas is to make money off the Palin name and career. All you have to know about Devon is that she is the mudflat mucker and Bailey and McDonald are now mucking along with her. Those throwing mud usually get mud on their hands, feet and tales. My take on it is if you want to read fables and fantasy take up Harry Potter. At least these books are good, clean fun. 

New Vision

The big question the media hacks are asking about Sarah Palin is what is she going to do? Is she running for president or isn't she running for president. Let me say, it seems pretty clear to me that Palin is likely to run. Until she makes the announcement no one can say for sure. But for the media to rerun column after column of tired quotes from uniformed "experts" parroting that Palin does not like retail politics and isn't interested in shaking hands around the country is just nonsense. Anyone who knows anything about Palin knows she does the greeting line better than most. So I hope this old rumor gets dropped as I am tired of seeing it and hearing it. What I am hoping to see, once she gets the nomination, is her original ideas on solving the critical issues of this country. Kicking the economy into gear is not as simple anymore as tax cuts, small business job creation and building houses everywhere there is a spot of land. We live in a more complex world than ever before. The American middle class is at risk. Safety nets are in danger of being shredded for the poor, elderly and handicapped. Where are the good paying jobs? We need a strong, committed leader with the best interest of the country as the top priority for out problems to be solved.. Sarah Palin is that leader. Will she run or won't she run, we will know for sure very soon.

Time for Time

Time magazine makes a glaring and unacceptable stumble by repeating a fable about Sarah Palin as though it were fact. For a magazine with the reputation of Tiime, this is unacceptable. Yes the editors can run a correction. Yes the correction would be welcome. But it is not enough. Time bills itself as a news magazine. It has a responsibility to check and double check and triple check what appears on its pages and to do this before publication. Running a correction of its terrible blunder is elementary. But Time should also run a cover story documenting all the lies and distortions and rumors and gossip it has printed about Sarah Palin. It should express regret for these falsehoods. It is past time for Time to offer responsible, honest, factual reporting on all politicans. It is past time for Time to keep its editorial opinion on its opinion pages. The opinion pages should not include every page of the publication unless Time wants to change its description and change it now to gossip magazine. A news magazine has a responsiblity to report facts. It's elementary journalism. For now Time is not even in the elementary grade when it comes to Sarah Palin.   

Back To Work

After a rather unfortunate computer glitch, we are back in action and none too soon. The usual gnats are swarming around trying to discredit Sarah Palin. A few new gnats have also flown in around the bonfire of false and manufactured and distorted claims. The latest comes from one of the darkest of dark horses for the GOP presidential nomination, Rick whats his name. He seems to imply that Palin is missing CPAC to haul more cash back to Alaska. Then that old dodger website Politico of course laps up the implication and churn it out as a headline. Then Rick whats his name throws a tantrum because he says Politico misreported what he said or something of the sort.Is he protesting too much?
I'm wondering why Rick is trying to sound like a candidate anyway? Is he trying trying to split the conservative vote? Who would that benefit?

Iowa Speech

The great Iowa speech is now over. Well received, it was rousing and positive and focused on the upcoming mid-term elections. Sarah Palin delivered the approximately 45 minute speech without the aid of a teleprompter. To Politico, great recorder of any dollar earned by the governor, she did not seek or receive a fee for the speech. She did not announce or deny rumors of a presidental run. She talked about today and what needs to be done today for wins in November. I liked the speech. It was wide ranging and typical Palin. My one critique is that I think she needs to move on from the news media comments. Ok maybe make one comment now and then. She has overcome a barrage of crazy, goofy rumors and gossipy speculation and is riding a wave of success. She doesn't have to defend herself against every hack to who foams with speculation. Let others defend her. As to the success of reacting to the wack jobs in the media, consider the NPR report from the speech speculating that Palin implied in some vague way that Rove should go to h---. I submit, some in the media live to speculate. They wouldn't know a fact if they tripped over one. Bored with the drudgery of their lives they blow bubbles of speculation and then report on them. It's called creating the news from a mud tub. Thanks Dan Baltz of the Washington Post for a decent report from the Iowa speech. Thanks to C-Span for telecasting the speech live so we could hear the governor in her own words.

Tonight Is the Night

At 8 p.m., Eastern Time, C-Span will telecast live Gov. Palin's speech from Iowa. This is 7 p.m. Central Time. It is a speech to watch. As the pundits twist and turn trying to determine if Palin is going to run for president she keeps them guessing. Trying to gauge her by the usual actions of prospective candidates, some think she isn't up to grassroots campaigning. Guys check out how she campaigned out for governor of Alaska. Check out how she welcomed the crowds at rallies during the 2008 presidental campaign and took extended time going through the crowds talking and handshaking. Others think Palin indeed may run and that if she does she will be a formidable force. I think if she runs she will run to win. So I'll be listening carefully to the speech tonight and watching the reactions to it.

A Great Speech

It was a well delivered, informative, witty speech and it was given by Sarah Palin on Wednesday, Sept. 15 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The event was held by the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs. Palin was comfortable at the lecturn and displayed an array of comments on everything from how the media is focused often on irrelevant things to how she made her way from council member in Wasilla, Alaska to the governor's office to the national stage. This speech extended for over 45 minutes. Coverage of it by the national media has been next to non-existent. This is not suprising. When Palin gave a major address during the 2008 presidental campaign on equality for women and issues relating to women, the media was on coffee break. The coffee they drank was bitter and the things they wrote about Palin were also bitter and devoid of sugar. Sadly the brew the media heated up all was about Palin's shoes and her clothes and her glasses and her kids. They slept through the women's rights speech.Today the media is still frozen in place and still offering up the same stale brew. But if you really want to hear the governor give a very excellent speech then go to Palin TV and watch the speech she gave in Oklahoma this week. It is a lead up to the very important presentation she will make on Friday in Iowa. Don't miss the Iowa speech. It will be shown live on C-Span. Tune out the lost on earth media who are sinking in the muck they created and hear what Palin has to say direct.

Major speech coming

Sarah Palin will make a major speech on Friday in Des Moines, at the annual Iowa GOP Reagan dinner aptly themed this year as a "Salute To Freedom." Tune in. The speech will be broadcast on C-Span at 7 p.m.central time from Hy-Vee Hall. I suspect some other news organizations will join in. The question continues to circulate, will she run for president in 2012? This speech should offer some very interesting clues as will other aspects of her visit there. More on the event coming here.

The Great Mosque

The Great Mosque controversy is correctly defined by Sarah Palin. Sure the Iman has the right to build a Mosque in the shadow of Ground Zero but common sense and sensitivity say it is a bad idea.It is simple. Not complicated as the Iman and others are trying to make it. It has nothing to do with anti-Muslim feelings sweeping America. Those advancing this argument try to change the conversation at the same time they try to twist America into a fearful place. Those who built this country and held it proud are told they are just an angry, intolerant mob clinging to their guns and bibles. Now the Iman says Palin is disingenious when she posts about this issue. He implies that she and others are using the issue for political purposes. Now lets ask the Iman, what is his purpose?

Bits and Pieces and Megan McCain again

I'm not wondering about Megan McCain. She reveals herself in an unflattering way when she writes in her book of being upset at not being able to use the F-word around Piper Palin. She reveals more of her self when she implies a campaign is not a place for children. Here is a person with the best of educations, wealth in her family that is akin to Midas and according to her she fits in well in all the best places but she lacks something called knowing the world does not revolve around her. She lacks class. As Megan is scheduled for an appearance, or two, on the good old Joy Behar Show, no joy there, expect more slams and digs at the Palins. Where ever she goes, Megan takes her snipy view of life and dark clouds with her.
Then we have the frothy Chris Matthews, host of the MSNBC Democratic Party show, who has lost all crediblity as an impartial journalist. His latest raving is so out of this world as he tries to imply Sarah Palin does not come out strong against the Koran burning pastor so she must tacitly support him. Matthews should clearly label his show for what it is, propaganda.

PA Senate Race Comings and Goings

The US senate race in Pennsylvania is underway in a low key way. But things are picking up. The big Democratic fish are coming in to endorse Joe Sestack. We wonder if Sarah Palin will come to the Keystone State to rally for Pat Toomey? Palin drew big crowds when she campaigned in the state during the 2008 presidential campaign. She also drew crowds at a recent gathering in Hershey. Toomey has the lead now and it's hard to see how Sestak is going to catch up given the situation on the ground. Pennsylvania has its share of budget and unemployment problems. It has an outgoing Democratic governor and a Republican controlled legislature. There is talk of budget cuts and disagreement between the governor and the GOP legislature on the amount to tax natural gas resource development in the state. As the campaign heats up between Sestak and Toomey here's hoping to see Palin in the Keystone state again before November.    

And then there was Megan McCain

Oh that Megan McCain, you gotta feel sorry for her. This poor little rich girl who spent most of her dad's presidental campaign blogging about life on the campaign trail, now tells us how she cried and cried when she learned Sarah Palin was her dad's VP nominee. Gee, Megan was so upset. I mean she just didn't know  anything about this Palin. It was all so scary and confusing to her. She became a basketcase. She didn't even meet Palin until they took the stage in Ohio together. I mean, she was frantic. This unknow woman might do or say some wacky thing. Now this story sounds dramatic and all but it also points out that Megan might not be too smart or maybe she was hysterical because she was hoping for a different VP selection. I mean here is internet savvy Megan just breaking out in a sweat over the Palin selection because she knows nothing about her. Come on. Way before Palin was ever selected, when she was a longshot possibility, some of us went on the internet and read about her, her record, her accomplishments, watched videos of her speeches and so on. Tell me I knew more than Megan and I knew it before her! Ok, I don't buy it. When Megan heard that scary unknown from the last frontier had been selected, why didn't she get on her fabulous laptop and google search Sarah Palin? Why didn't she inform herself before the selection? Now I'm only saying that a week or so ago, when asked, Megan said she didn't know who she would support in the 2012 campaign. Then this week she came out in the open and told us what we already surmised, she's a Romney girl. I wonder if she was a Romney girl in 2008? Just wondering. Megan, when you don't know who someone is, google.

Ruth Marcus meets Orwell

Ruth Marcus thinks she has the lowdown on Sarah Palin and Orwell. Writing in one of her incessantly critical columns about Palin, Marcus implies it is highly unllikely that Palin knows anything about Orwell and probably never read any of his work. Orwell wrote about many things including manipulation of languague to distort truth. In other words, fantasy over fact. Sound familar? I thought about fantasy over fact as I read the column where Marcus berates Palin for defending herself against another slam by another left leaning guy with the last name of Gross. The slam was called something like the Sound and Fury of Sarah Palin when it really should have been titled the Sound and Fury of Michael Gross. Palin called such hacks "impotent" or something similar. Marcus was offended, not for Palin of course who is defamed on a daily basis but for the Gross guy. She thought Palin's comments were too strong, too tsk tsk. Somewhere in that column Marcus got around to Orwell and defended him too from the likes of Palin ever reading his writings. How Marus gained her knowledge of Palin and Orwell she doesn't say. Did she have Joe McGinnis peek over the fence into Palin's book collection? If she did, she's not telling. We just have to take her word for it, as she is more elite than the rest of us, that people like Palin (and probably like us) don't read Orwell. We don't even know who he is. That's why Marcus and the like have to tell us what's best for us and why they try to destroy with words people they don't agree with, like Palin.

Oh the wonderful AP

It must have been a slow day in AP land. Well really a slow two days. Beginning on Sept. 4 and carrying over into Sept. 5, breathlessly and in expanded form, AP told the world that Joe McGinnis, you remember him as the Palin stalker, was slinking (my description) back to his lower 48 sink hole to sling together another tell it all about Palin. Here's the bad thing for Joe and the good thing for Palin supporters, there isn't much left to throw at Palin. Joe you're just a little too late. Your account of life over the fence, has already been told over and over again and frankly we're getting just a little tired of all this recast much ado about nothing stuff. Not content to just keep us updated on McGinnis's travel plans, AP lets McGinnis prattle on and on about the bad Palin and how everyone in Alaska is scared of her and how he is such a nice guy who really never meant to do harm to anyone and got badly treated by that rude Todd Palin and only rented the house next to the Palin's because the rent was low and he would never look over or under the fence. Of course not. Does anyone really think Joe is the type of guy to look under a fence? Besides anyone who wants to see the Palin house can just sit in a boat in Lake Lucille, old Joe says. I'm sure he knows. AP just lets him prattle on about folks offering him guns and stuff to protect himself. This guy gets more news space than Hillary Clinton. I guess AP is promoting the upcoming McGinnis hatchet job on Palin which they will quote in even more expanded form. Here is a clear link between two members of the chain gang in their belief when it comes to Palin anything can be alleged. The AP prints the latest allegations and McGinnis's incredible defense of his indefensible behavior and gives big headlines and news space to it. When it comes to Palin every day seems to be a slow day at the AP and few things are too low or ridiculous to print. Checking the facts and giving both sides, well that's what journalism used to be.
