: Listening to the mainstream media these last
: few days I've learned a few
: things about the GOP's VP nominee but also
: had to learn a few things on my
: own. To wit:
:
: 1. From the media I learned Sarah Palin's
: husband has a DUI conviction
: from 22 years ago. On my own I learned that
: Ted Kennedy (hero of last week's tribute at
: the
: DNC) was drunk while driving a car off a
: bridge in Chappaquiddick. That
: same crash killed a young campaign volunteer
: with whom he was having an
: affair. Oh, and that woman was pregnant with
: his child.
: * Mr. Palin's (who is not running for
: office) DUI came a mere 4 years
: after Barack Obama (who is running for
: president) stopped using cocaine
: and marijuana (by his own admission in his
: autobiography).
:
: Shocking - it's OK for the presidential
: candidate to use drugs or the
: party patriarch to kill someone while
: driving drunk yet the husband of a
: VP candidate should be demonized for
: something done 22 years ago.
:
: 2. From the media I learned that Sarah
: Palin's daughter is pregnant.
: * On my own I learned that Joe Biden's (the
: other VP candidate) son was
: paid a large amount of money as a consultant
: to credit card company MBNA.
: That same company had business before
: Senator Joe Biden concerning
: regulation of consumer credit practices.
: After the company paid a hefty
: sum to Mr. Biden's son, he voted in favor of
: legislation to help that
: company.
: * That same son, Hunter, is also engaged in
: a legal investigation and suit
: for defrauding a former business partner
:
: Shocking - it's a crime for the republican
: VP candidate to have a child
: who's pregnant even though it's irrelevant
: to how she performs her job.
: It's ok, however, for the democrat VP
: candidate while a senator to vote in
: favor of a company who paid his son over a
: quarter of a million dollars.
:
: 3. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin
: should be considered
: 'selfish' for agreeing to run for VP knowing
: about her daughter's
: condition. Knowing th at her public role
: would bring extra scrutiny on the
: family is selfish and she should have
: declined to protect her child
: (actually heard this on ABC this weekend).
:
: Strange - the same people who said Sarah is
: selfish for running for VP did
: not seem to care about any impact on Chelsea
: when Bill Clinton had his
: dalliance with Monica Lewinsky. That was a
: private, personal matter you
: see.
:
: 4. From the media I have learned to be
: 'concerned' that Sarah Palin
: probably won't be able to manage her family
: and do an effective job of
: being VP at the same time.
:
: Funny - I never heard anything about
: Hillary's ability to support Chelsea
: while re-doing healthcare or any of the
: other feminist icons who say you
: can balance work and family. They also never
: mention that Barack will
: have to balance time with his children while
: meeting with heads of rogue
: nations or how Joe Biden's kids don't even
: have a mom and will be fighting
: for his time while he hosts white house
: coffee fundraisers and sells
: nights in the Lincoln bedroom.
:
: 5. From the media I have learned that Sarah
: Palin is 'too inexperienced'
: to be a heartbeat-away from the presidency.
: * Apparently taking on corruption in your
: own party and running a state
: that's the same size people-wise as Delaware
: (hint hint: that's where Joe
: Biden is from) is not really experience.
: * However, time spent as a 'community
: organizer' and less than 180 days in
: the senate where you've authored no
: significant legislation is just the
: type of 'change' we're looking for from the
: top of the ticket.
:
: Funny - inexperience at the top of the
: ticket is a mantra for 'change' and
: 'hope' while strong practical everyday
: experience as the #2 is cause for
: concern.
: ;
: 6. From the media I learned that Sarah
: Palin's husband once got a ticket
: for fishing without a license.
: * I haven't heard much about the fact that
: if he were still a practicing
: attorney, the VP candidate Joe Biden would
: be dis-barred for plagiarism not
: once but multiple times.
:
: It's ok to break the rules if you're a
: democrat candidate but not Ok if
: you are the spouse of a republican
: candidate.
:
: 7. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin
: doesn't know much about
: Iraq ; in fact we wonder if she even knows
: where it is.
: * Sarah's son volunteered into the US
: military and is now deployed in
: Iraq . I guess that doesn't count.
:
: Sarah has spent more time with troops in
: Iraq (as commander of the Alaska
: National Guard she visited Iraq last year)
: than Obama has even while
: running for president. In fact, when Sarah
: went to Iraq she spent time
: with the troops. When Obama went there, he
: skipped a base visit to
: instead go work out at the Ritz Carlton.
:
: 8. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin
: is a 'lightweight' and she
: better be a 'quick study' to keep up with
: this team.
:
: Funny, nobody is talking about how, after
: Barack Obama had 'visited 57
: states' according to him he only had '5 more
: to go' or endless other
: stupid gaffes that expose who he really is.
:
: 9. From the media I have learned that
: (gasp!), Sarah Palin's husband was
: once a registered member of a 3rd party that
: favored states' rights (man,
: this is really bad stuff).
:
: * That same media has been silent to the
: story that when Barack Obama
: announced his first senate run, he did so in
: the home of William Ayers.
: Mr. Ayers is an un-repentant terrorist
: convicted for bombing the pentagon.
: This same Mr. Ayers said on 9/11 that he and
: his group did not do enough
: to harm our military and he wished he had
: done more. During the same time
: as that comment, he was serving on a board
: with Barack Obama. All notes
: and information about their serving together
: is now locked up by the
: corrupt Chicago machine and reporter access
: to those records are being
: blocked by the Obama campaign.
:
: If we've had any doubts about the bias of
: the media, it's pretty clear now
: where they stand. Pass this on to some of
: your friends who are on the
: fence and who get all their information from
: Katie Couric, Wolf Blitzer,
: Tom Brokaw and the gang. This is egregious
: and corrupt. The only way to
: stop it is to spread information using other
: outlets and make these guys
: irrelevant
