Remember how the New York Times went into high dudgeon in May when then-presumptive Republican nominee John McCain had not released his medical records in a timely enough fashion to please their editorial board? “No presidential candidate,” the old gray lady inveighed, “should get to the point that he has locked up his party’s [.
If you don’t believe me that if we held Joe Biden to the Sarah Palin standard, the media would make mincemeat of the Delaware Democrat, then take a listen to former CBS News Anchor Dan Rather (at about 1:54 below):

I know there is a joke in here somewhere. I’m just too busy to think of it. But our traffic usually spikes when there is a Mark Foley Update, so here goes….
Like nearly every Palin-supporting conservative, at least those with access to the web, I believe it was a huge mistake for the McCain campaign to shelter the Alaska Governor from the press for the first month of the fall campaign.
While I share the concern of one reader that Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin may “not display the broad base policy knowledge one should have for the office of the Vice-Presidency,” she has displayed one thing on the campaign trail that even Barack Obama has not, a presidential temperament in the face of relentless [.
In at least three recent (and one forthcoming) posts on Sarah Palin, I have addressed (and will consider) the amazing ignorance of Palin-haters.
If you’ve been watching CNN, you’d think the only election news is Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama.
Whenever I drive around my neighborhood, I bristle at the almost ubiquitous “No on 8″ signs, with their slogan “Equality for All.
It seems that when one Republican says (or is perceived to have said) a nasty thing about a Democrat, the editorialists at the New York Times and the left-wing bloggers go into high dudgeon.
Sorry for the radio silence folks. I was celebrating my 40th Birthday with a trip to Disney World.
Thanks for the trip, PatriotPartner!!!!
Anyway, just a quick hello to let everyone know I’m back.
While this blog has been particularly harsh on Barney Frank, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, for his responsibility for the mortgage meltdown (here, here, here, here and here), he at least acknowledged the need for regulation of the government-supported enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the current Congress.
. . . the MSM would be demanding an investigation and Democrats would be demanding his resignation.
According to the Wall Street Journal,
New York Sen.
. . . this story would prompt editorials on the anger of Obama supporters.
We read all the time about the anger at McCain-Palin rallies as if it’s not commonplace for partisans at political rallies to speak harshly of their adversaries.
Yet, again today, I find myself lectured about Sarah Palin’s inexperience by someone who knows nothing about her accomplishments.
After Hillary Clinton withdrew from the race for the Democratic nomination, Maureen Dowd wrote in the New York Times:
It’s good news for Obama that Hillary’s out of the race.
If John McCain were a communicator of the caliber of Ronald Reagan (or even Bill Clinton or Barack Obama), he might have been better able to make the case why conservative policiess can both help us get out of the current financial mess as they make it easier for the average citizen to realize the [.
In “their rabid character assassination” as Ed Morrissey puts it, of Joe the Plumber, “a man who did nothing more than ask a question,” Obama supporters and their allies in the media remind us (yet again) of the tactics of all too many on the left.
Yesterday, I ran into a friendly (and quite attractive) acquaintance. After greeting each other, I asked him about his plans for the weekend.
Remember back in 2006. all the talk of scandals involving House and one Senate (later cleared) Repubilcans? So saturated were the media with coverage of their misdeeds that even now two years later, I can rattle off their names of the supposed miscreants, Mark Foley, Randy “Duke” Cunningham, Bob Ney, Tom DeLay and Conrad Burns.
All I have is words.
Barack Obama, 2008
Words! Words! I’m so sick of words! I get words all day through;
First from him, now from you! Is that all you blighters can do?
