Fantastic, Jay. You’ll not speak of him again? Can we get that in writing, or are we gonna play Whitewater 2.0 and spend years and years and millions looking for nothing?

Does anyone use the tv MSM as their first source of information anymore? I’m slow so it took the flap about lapel pins for me to pretty much kick the tv MSM down to my second source of information. With social networking, RSS feeds from not only American but foreign papers, Wikipedia, YouTube, blogs, etc., I’m well armed with multiple sources of knowledge before I subject myself to the talking heads on tv. It’s almost a shame but it’s like MSM is the British during the Revolutionary War, walking in line, following outdated rules, expecting everyone to follow the protocols that keep them in power while the bloggers are disguising themselves to gain access, jumping from behind trees, throwing rocks, whether it takes to get the story. Neither way is the way is should be but within 5 years some new entity will emerge that is a child of both.

Is that before or after she supported the bridge to nowhere and had Ted Stevens, possibly the most corrupt of all U.S. senators, cut ads for her?

It certainly didn’t bother them when they elected Bush in 2000 and it certainly isn’t something McCain really cares about either, having nominated a demonstrably ill-equipped person to be his VP.

and the remarkably convenient unsealing of embarrassing divorce/child custody records his opponents that took out his Republican opponents for the US Senate.

It’s Obama’s fault that Ryan was sleazy?

wonder why these abusive types hang around here

It’s really funny to read how Palin’s baby is someone else’s, how Palin shouldn’t fire a cop who threatens to kill his family and tazers his son, and how Palin is working the “casting couch.”

IOW, it’s fun to point and laugh. The unintentional comedy is better than TV.

I think the first sentence explains the second. You have a pretty skewed idea of what counts as “accomplishments” if you think primaries aren’t “elections” and so winning one of the toughest primaries against Hilary Clinton doesn’t say anything about Obama’s organizational and management skills.

Would it even matter if I listed Obama accomplishments as a community organizer, lawyer, senior law school lecturer, state senator and senator? All the links are in another thread where you spewed the same ignorance.

I’ll repeat what I said there. You know about Palin’s accomplishments because you’ve read about them, possibly even sought them out. It’s clear, however, on the other hand, that your sole source of information about Obama’s record comes from soundbites and gotcha moments spread by other conservative hacks like yourself.

You like being able to throw out stupid statements such as the following: “Just like there’s no real evidence that he ever did anything else in his career of substance.” It’s easy and fun. Why mess that all up with actual research and thought?

If you spent even two minutes googling Obama and his career you’d know that such a statement was ridiculous and without merit. You would prefer not to know that.

Just like there’s no real evidence that he ever did anything else in his career of substance. He gives good speeches (as long as he has his teleprompter on hand), talks a good game, but never actually does anything. He certainly didn’t do a damned thing about the incredibly corrupt Democratic political machine in Chicago that was his benefactor on his rise to power…

But I can’t help but think that Tony Rezko is precisely the kind of person Sarah Palin dealt with in Alaska — and she fought like hell against them, and beat them. Obama, on the other hand… not so much.

Meanwhile Sarah Vowell has a fine piece in Old Media, the Sunday Times Op-Ed. Recommended to everyone.

Seriously, are these people living in the ’20′s or something?

Fixed.

Prick. (not you Nimrod, this jagoff at the corner)

We have shown the same color-by-numbers mindset that liberals did when they rallied to Obama. Liberals love Obama because he is a Numinous Negro. Conservatives love Palin because she has a Downs baby and an M-16. For both sides, that is all on earth ye know and all ye need to know. You might call it mystical and childish.

“Numinous Negro”?

I’ll confess I don’t understand why you guys find Rezko so interesting.

Also, I have to wonder why the election reference was the only thing you felt worth addressing.
