More depressing to the Democrat media is that the attractive Palin has executive and real world experiences that make their tired old pols look inexperienced and lifeless. McCain and Palin's life stories are inspiring while the Obama/Biden story is the same old same old -- unscrupulous lawyers going into politics to get what they can for themselves, their families and their cronies.

If the Democrat MSM refuses to get the facts out to the people it is incumbent upon the alternative media, the GOP, McCain/Palin and us to tear down the wall of silence and complicity that the liberal media is attempting to build around their flawed, unethical and corrupt candidates.

THREAT LEVEL HIGH
Re: Jeffrey Lord's The Palin Threat: Real Change:

Jeffrey Lord hits the nail on the head: Americans are sick to death of the status quo, what's in it for me political hacks in both parties. And they might be more disgusted with a mainstream media so invested in thoughtless character assassination, they tried to destroy Sarah Palin before America had a chance to find out who she is.

Who would have imagined the GOP could find a VP candidate who kills two vultures --with one hockey puck.

It's a suspicion of mine -- and just a suspicion, without facts to back it up -- that certain elements of Alaska politics may very well have wanted Sarah Palin to take the vice-presidential nomination in order to get her out of the governor's mansion. That way, she'd be gone and they could go on doing business as usual.

The powers-that-be in turn-of-the-last-century New York did this to rid themselves of Teddy Roosevelt. But, in the end, look what job Teddy Roosevelt wound up with...

OFF AIR, ON TAPE
Re: Jay D. Homnick's Murphy's Loss:

Wow! I wasn't familiar with Mr. Murphy the "Republican" commentator, however, I caught on to Peggy Noonan's shtick two years ago.

Thank you for publicly "calling them out."

After years of enjoyment of Peggy Noonan's elegant writings and her steadfast upholding of President Reagan's optimism, I never figured her for a toady.

Mr. Homnick's article was dead on good. The chattering class of old media elites...both Repubs and Dems need to be thrown out with the bathwater.

I enjoyed Mr. Homnick's clear writing and will watch for more by him.

Go Maverick and Barracuda. God is good.
-- Anne Burkart

Appreciation to Mr. Homnick for his entertaining comments on Peggy and Mike. As he notes, McCain's judgment is again vindicated, not just by choosing Palin as his running mate, but by not hiring Peggy and Mike to work on his campaign. Hopefully it is good-by and good-riddance to these nattering nabobs of negativism and elitist bubbleheads (was Peggy given a heads-up to the release of this tape?) who presume to inform the great unwashed, and explain the ways of God to Man. I doubt that I'll be paying much attention to Mike, or reading Peggy's commentaries any more. Maybe Peggy will take her own advice (see her column yesterday in the WSJ).
