No spanking here, Joel. I apologize; my various insinuations were more provocative than were meant. Seriously -- lame on my part.
"Why ignore it"? Because it is not of import when "it" is in regard to a VP candidate's *spouse*, ESPECIALLY when one POTUS candidate has admitted to doing coke and other drugs within the same exact time frame. It just smacks so much of electioneering.
I find it to be disingenuous and overtly hypocritical; this convenient disregard of prior moral standards. It's sad that we, as a certain political party's acolytes, have to adhere to blatantly fallacious reasoning.
The dems rushed to the defense of our president Bill Clinton in the face of his perjury...would they do the same for a perjurer McCain?

Francis McDormand's character in Fargo was pregnant. Palin might not be.

OK Joel, it's been mentioned in a few NY Times stories and blogs, and Time magazine, and US News and World Report, and Newsweek, and DailyKos (surprised?), that's what I meant to say.
"Stink" might have been, er, an odoriferously-charged word, I guess?
I see you think journalism is as noble as it has always been, and that nothing has changed since the days during which reporters reported, erm, unbiased and meaningful facts I guess, and that these instances were just a few instances of reporting 'the news'. Sorry.
Yet, I do not relent to ask....why mention it *at all*?

wait....
the FoxNews commentator just said that Palin was holding her baby, who "is a Down's syndrome baby, adorable and sweet as those babies always are..."
Weird. And obtusely offensive, if you ask me. Am I wrong?

He is a man that has "the compassion of having once been powerless" is a 'war-time' speech line on the level of David Kusnet and Peggy Noonan.

"You'd better have as many fingers on your left hand as my wife has.....(we never checked that)"

Sorry, I realize I implied that her speech was over when, as I type this, she's going on and on about laying pipelines and starting nuclear plants (ALL of which I am entirely in support).
Regarding the opponent who "wants to lose a war" statement....I don't, on all of the implications, agree.
YET........who does Bin Laden want to win this election?

I like her panache. I really do.
I hate her scaredy-cat, stop-gap tendencies.
Who else wants to ban books?

wow, the "his opponent wants to lose a war" line was pretty substantial.....can't say I agree, but I guess I don't necessarily disagree either....maybe in her wording--"lose" specifically. That's pretty slanted.
Yet her stressing the military presence in her family is pretty solid.
And the "special-needs children" segment has personal resonance, as I'm sure it does for most families.
Regardless of all of this, it was a mostly stilted and jarringly scripted speech. And OtherJoel is right.....her voice is super annoying.
But I'm right when I say she's hot.

Ladylaw beat me to it.
With each passing year, Jon Stewart shows his and his show's true colors. I remember when it was just a goofy, vanilla show. Now it's a funny show with raspberry ripples of self-righteousness and chocolate-covered attempts at proselytizing.
Don't get me wrong, it's still a funny show.
