Barracuda Snakecharmer Sarah and the Mob

If you're not laughing along with Sarah Palin's playing Gotcha! with the media, you're not paying attention.

Sarah Barracuda is playing the press for suckers, and they hate it. But they can't they leave the story alone. Result: weeks of excited headline coverage, free publicity galore, right up her alley. The media mob are cutting their noses to spite their faces.

Well I am somewhat impressed with the fact that the army of reporters and volunteers were able to go through so many emails in such a short time.

But that it backfired so profoundly has me snickering a little inside. This was about the most partisan thing the major news outlets have ever done on someone, and the biggest complaint they have is that she's not a fan of the news media? Jeez, what gave it away when an army of reporters decide to sift through your emails?

How many investigations for wrong doing were initiated by Democrats against Palin?

How many scandals were reported by the media about Palin and her alledged corruption and wrong doing in office?

So what ever happened to the libarian that Palin had fired playing hard ball politics? Yea, that's how ridiculous it got.

What ever happened to that wrong doing trying to fire a State Trooper, who's conduct was beyond the pale and very much deserved to be fired, as well as threating the lives of family members of the Governor. But, there was no need to cover the misconduct of the State Trooper, we'll just leave that out as we cover the accusations that Palin mishandled it, even though she never handled it and it was all done by other family members all through the proper channels.

So as I listen to all our local reporters and MSM tell us this Weiner Scandal is all politics and we should ignore it and let Congress get back to the important issues that have to be tackled. When are we going to see one report setting some context to the years of slanted reporting that showed Palin as scandal ridden, when now its become obvious it was all politics of personal destruction?

Yea, Fox News is the Problem.

From what I read last week (I don’t remember where), the most scandalous information they were able to glean from these emails was thousands of pages of death threats at Palin. So, instead of finding anything that would implicate Palin, they (the left wing propaganda force) ended up implicating themselves in some very nefarious behavior. This really needs to be the big news in all of this. You have someone that ran her business in a MOST ethical manner (which is extremely rare to find in today's politics) while those that attempted to run her down exposed themselves as the liars and miscreants.

All this did was show, all the more, how much more electable Palin is.

Well, everything you could criticize Palin for, you can level the exact same at Obama, but Liberals can't pull their heads out of cheeks far enough to even realize that despite the records compared side by side.

Many Conservatives do respect her for the Conservative message and plain talk she communicates with, but considering her in full context and her record, most are more 'meh..'. Sure she was a refreshing contrast to McCain when he needed boost from the base the most, lots of excitement, but since then she has developed more credibility as a pundit than a politician.

I'm NOT super keen on voting for Palin, but there are worse candidates than her that are already running.

Which Sarah Palin do you support? The moderate conservative Governor of Alaska or the far-right FOX News pundit?

What has she done or said that makes her "far right"?

Why do you care? She could walk on water and you'd say she was polluting the ocean and killing marine life. She could rain gold down upon the masses and you'd say she was littering. She could feed the hungry and you'd want to see her health department certificate. She could....well, you get the idea.

So why do you care what anyone else thinks of her? It's not like you're really interested or will even pay attention.

It's the exact same thing with you and Obama. He could cure cancer and you'd demand Bush get credit.

Which goes to show that you don't read my posts and only hear the voices in your head channeling Olbermann. I've criticized Bush plenty, just not over the stupid stuff you all are hung up on. Like pretzels and segways.

And PS, that was a retarded, "I know you are but what am I?" response, there, Pee Wee.
