GOTCHA JOURNALISM MY ASS

There, I said it.

Father Time and Governor Barbie are scary, scary people.

Palin running for vice president makes about as much sense as me running for the post.

Katie Couric was just doing her job, asking Palin to explain some apparent differences between her and Old Uncle John's foreign policy attitudes.

And Palin making jokes about Biden's age when her running mate is even older...now THERE'S good campaign strategy.

Gag me. With a spoon.

And puh-lease...I usually love The Early Show, but truly, what would Palin's parents be expected to say in an interview with Harry Smith -- that their daughter is a complete dolt who is over her head right now? What "amazing" things did Palin's parents have to say about their daughter that any good parent wouldn't say about their kid?

Geesh.

Slow news day, Harry?

Gotcha Journalism My Ass.

Whew.

I feel much better now.

glad to hear you haven't been taken in by the mainstream press' infatuation with S.P. What a sad day for our country. shame on the republicans for pulling such a lame attempt at leveling the playing field.

They're still infatuated with her in parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota, how's she playing in your back yard?

Unfortunately, our backyard has its share of folks who think this woman is "perfect" for the role as VP, and possibly, God forbid, the presidency. My beloved sister, whom I adore, is one of them.

I love my sister. But I cannot stand Palin....or her running mate. She offends me at every turn.
