Would anyone in their right mind vote for Monica Goodling to be vice-president, someone a heartbeat away from being president? Well, Sarah Palin IS Monica Goodling. Just like Goodling, Palin abused her position of public trust, using her public office for personal/religious vendettas. Just like Goodling, Palin lied, lied, lied, while claiming to be a follower of Jesus Christ, who I really doubt is the Prince of Lies. Just like Goodling, Palin is unqualified to hold any government position, especially not vice-president or (God help us) president. Palin equals Goodling, with the same disdain for the rule of law, our Constitution, the will of our founding fathers to keep church and state separate. Palin equals Goodling, with all the horror this entails for the freedom-loving women of our nation. Two words come to mind whenever I think of Sarah Palin: Monica Goodling.

Richard Cohen? David Broder? Everybody else? These guys have a built-in "equivalency" fetish. If there's a flaw in John McCain, there must be an equally damning one in Barack Obama.

More importantly, they'll never risk pissing off a major politician by asking straight-up questions because that might damage their friendship with him, and thereby taint their "balanced"-ness.
