.Palin’s vetting vs Obama’s zero vetting
.Palins pro life vs Obama’s radical abortion and
infanticide stance
.Dem party of women’s right vs Republicans nominating one
.VP more important because of McCain’s age vs Obama having recieved death threats
.McCain making campaign about personality vs Obama’s fake fainter ‘rock conert’ speeches

A hot mike on Noonan and Murphy. Wow, they don’t actually believe what they write. More hypocrisy from the media. Republican consultant Mike Murphy and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan were caught on a live mic ridiculing the choice of Sarah Palin.
“It’s over,” said Noonan, and then responded to a question of whether Palin is the most qualified Republican woman McCain could have chosen.
“The most qualified? No. I think they went for this — excuse me — political bullsh** about narratives,” she said. “Every time Republicans do that … because that’s not where they live and it’s not what they’re good at and they blow it.”
Murphy chimed in:
“The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical.”
Noonan’s blunt call contrasted with her conflicted column today saying Palin “could become a transformative political presence.”
“The Sarah Palin choice is really going to work, or really not going to work,” Noonan wrote. “It’s not going to be a little successful or a little not; it’s not going to be a wash. She is either going to be magic or one of history’s accidents. She is either going to be brilliant and groundbreaking, or will soon be the target of unattributed quotes by bitter staffers shifting blame in all the Making of the President 2008 books.”
And another fine journalistic example of bashing Palin as part of a sessesionist organization?
Well, guess what? IT WAS WRONG! Now says the NYT:
On Tuesday night, Ms. Clark said that her initial statement was incorrect and had been based on erroneous information provided by another member of the party whom she declined to identify.
Alaska Party Official Says Palin Was Not a Member
Fight back with the facts!!!
A shameful week for the press: http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NDU3Nzc1NjEzNGQzYTQ0NTA1YjM0M2UzNzNkODU3ODQ=

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.–Margaret Thatcher
Sarah Plain deserves what every father running for office automatically gets: a chance to be judged fairly, based on experience and ideology, qualifications and competence, not second-hand judgments of her most private decisions.
Tom Brokaw’s Meet the Press this week was quite interesting. Newsbusters anlayzed the segment particularly for one little line uttered by the increasingly partisan Andrea Mitchell. The question centered on Hillary Clinton supporters that might cross the aisle and vote Republican. However, Mitchell went further and off the point of discussion by interjecting additional information about boo’s received when Palin mentioned Clinton’s name at a rally in Pennsylvania.
“She is not appealing to the same women who were really voting or supporting Hillary Clinton on ideological issues but they think that they can peel off some of these working class women, not college educated, who, the blue collar women who were voting for Hillary Clinton and may be more conservative on social causes.”
“…but when she tried to talk about Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania, in western Pennsylvania, yesterday at a rally with conservative Republican voters, Hillary Clinton was booed. So, she can use the Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro analogy if she wants to in interviews, she cannot use that at Republican rallies.”
Best summary of the quite visibly partisan Andrea Mitchell’s performance on Meet The Press, (“There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women”.–Madeleline Albright)
So, on top of calling any women who might vote for McCain because of the addition of Sarah Palin to the ticket uneducated, Mitchell needlessly strayed off topic to search for some way to make Republicans look mean.

Maybe someday journalists will return to their objective roots.
