Yet again, The Daily Show nails it. This time, the out and out hypocrisy and doublethink of prominent Republicans on most aspects of the debate surrounding Palin's nomination.
Arrrrr Jake - ye be tryin' ta plunder me treasure buried on Page 22??
On a lighter note, The Daily Show totally nailed the hypocrisy of the Republican spinmachine:

What happened when Sarah Palin took control of the Alaska Board of Censorship?

I myself am very careful not to use Huffington as a source in discussion as I know it's partisan
Heck, I link to them all the time. I have no problem doing so because their political leaning/bias (left) is undisguised, unlike Fox News who continue to insist they have none, but are clearly shills for the right.
As a sidebar, I find it bizzarre that the Republicans can continue to (and successfully) refer to the bogeyman of the 'Liberal Media' when in fact Fox (top rating cable news) is clearly Rightwing and ABC News (free to air) is run by a Republican stooge.
Oh you mean you think I should be following the lead of the owner of this blog and Andrew Sullivan and repeating irrelevant shit that has just been made up elsewhere by fanatical anti republicans.
Okay, you're refering to the Palin-is-not-the-mother story on Kos. I jumped on that from the beginning but I always said in my comments "__If__ this is true..." or similar disclaimers. The KOS story was debunked very quickly when pictures of Palin clearly pregnant emerged. But KOS came to the story as a result of rumours from Alaska (allegedly via a Republican source) that it was Bristol who had taken an inordinate amount of time off school (5 months) with 'mono' and that it was Bristol who was pregnant. Which turned out to be correct.
Obviously we all wish KOS had done more fact checking before leaping to publish, because if they did the only bombshell they might have dropped would have been "PALIN'S UNWED TEEN DAUGHTER PREGGERS!!" That headline came later, but does anyone doubt Bristol's preganancy would NOT have been announced if weren't for the KOS story? My guess is the only thing announced after the convention would be the Wedding to Levi (and that they were 'expecting'), and a request for privacy.
Sidebar again - compare the way the Palin-is-not-the-mother story was so quickly and widely debunked with the way the Obama-is-a-Muslim-who-was-trained-in-a-Medrassa story was debunked. Both stories were originally published on the blogosphere but only one is toast, the other refuses to die.
try to imagine the outcome of Obama vs the Politburo and a replay of the missiles to Cuba is far more likely.
Er ... didn't Kennedy win that one? Without firing a shot? Or losing a life?

Unfair Craig. I mean, who doesn't like ...

Place this next to lobbying for a largely decorative $50m bridge across the viaduct which will benefit businesses and tourists...
I really don't see much cost/benefit on that one either. The bridge is ONLY for buses and pedestrians, not cars.
It could well end up being our own Bridge to Nowhere
-
To not use your bike but put it in a vehicle to go over a perfectly good bridge? I think when you stand back and look at it it's silly.
Yes, yes - I get it now: it's the $40million Harbour Bridge Cycleway or nothing.
I haven't seen such dogmatic belligerence since the Unifems in the 80s. -
Does anyone know why the Daily Show is running behind? Normally we get Thursday's (US time) show on Friday. Last Thursdays was shown on Tuesday our time. It's like they've shuffled it all along one day for some reason.
Yes, someone at C4 stuft up and ran a filler episode thinking DS was on hiatus (despite them all week saying 'next week we'll be in Denver')

Obama on the O'Reilly Factor:
WARNING: Hard to watch without wanting to punch someone (guess which one?)
-
Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,” Westmoreland said,
“Uppity, yeah.” -
This discussion is pointless, you're all just venting.
