Holy snap! Sarah Palin is dominating the news cycle this week, here’s a look at what’s been going on:
Getting Ready For The Debate!
Sarah’s having a wonderful time – and she’s ready and rearin’ to take on Biden! FoxNews explores her methods and what her opponent has to say about her.
Confederate Yankee Gets Word From Palin About Rape Kits
After having debunked it again and again and again, CY gets the word straight from Palin about the scandal, and as we all know by now, the rumors just aren’t true, by any stretch of the imagination.
McCain’s Campaign Starts FactCheck-ish Website For Palin Rumors
Bookmark this, folks – www.palintruthfiles.com. Byron York of NRO’s The Corner has a quick overview of this great resource and why it’s important for us to keep up with it.
No Such Thing As Palinism? You’re Kidding, Right?
Josh Strawn at Pajamas Media looks down his nose at the notion that what McCain and Palin are bringing to the table is new or unique. To a point, I see where he’s coming from – American ideals were here eons before either McCain or Palin, and will long outlive both of them as well. There’s better ways to point that out though, than trashing either of them.
Ifill Doesn’t Even Pretend To Hide Her Bias
Gwen Ifill, the moderator for the upcoming VP debate (which you can catch with us as we live-blog the whole thing, Thursday night at 9 PM!), is finishing up a book specifically about Obama which she expects to release on January 20th. Yes, the day before the next President is inaugurated, she’s going to have a PROBAMA book out. That’s what people in the field of journalistic ethics call “conflict of interest” – though it could turn out one of two ways. Either everyone will ignore her obvious bias and the debate will go on as planned, with Palin having an advantage coming out of the debate since the bias is against her, or Ifill will be removed and replaced with someone who isn’t as obviously in the tank for The One.
Either way, I expect Saracuda to mop the floor with “Dribbling Joe” Biden.
Hater Rips Into Michelle Malkin For Defending Sarah And Attacking Gwen Ifill
Malkin has been going after Gwen Ifill full-tilt, in the interests of trying to preserve the appearance, if not the reality of full disclosure, and she’s posted an email response from one of the Borg-bama Drones.
Her response is classic Malkin.
Hugh Hewitt interviewed Sarah yesterday on his radio show, and here’s the transcript and an MP3 recording of the interview. H/T The Corner / Townhall.com
Mary Grabar Asks: Why Do Feminists Hate Palin?
The answer is simple: she doesn’t follow their lead. The more expounded answer, which Grabar is very clear and specific about, shows that there’s more to their problems than pure politics.
