"Impotent, limp & gutless reporters take anonymous sources and cite them as factual references"
“Impotent, Limp and Gutless.”
“Impotent, limp and gutless reporters take anonymous sources and cite them as factual references. It just sleighs me because it’s so absolutely clear what the state of yellow journalism is today that they would take these anonymous sources as fact.”
The Advocate, a gay rights magazine, used the opportunity to attack Palin.
Is Sarah Palin using code words to slam gay journalist Michael Joseph Gross, a frequent Advocate contributor who wrote the much-buzzed-about profile of the former vice presidential nominee in this month’s Vanity Fair?
It is The Advocate, not Sarah Palin, who is guilty of “gay-baiting.” I don’t think most people associate the words “impotent,” “limp,” or “gutless” with being gay – I know I certainly don’t. If the folks at The Advocate think these words are euphemisms for being gay or lesbian then I think that speaks volumes about their own internalized homophobia.
Classic.
As Palin’s political stature increases, so will the media attacks.
Just as she predicted herself.
It will be interesting to watch as the media and the left uses every opportunity they get to bash Palin over the next 18 months, and how she fires right back at them.

"Not what most would call a 'Green Vehicle'."
It Isn’t Easy Being Green.
If you could put a color to Jesse Jackson’s visit to Detroit last weekend, it would be…
Following the embarrassing news that Mayor Dave Bing’s GMC Yukon was hijacked by criminals this week, Detroit’s Channel 7 reports that the Reverend’s Caddy Escalade SUV was stolen and stripped of its wheels while he was in town last weekend with the UAW’s militant President Bob King leading the “Jobs, Justice, and Peace” march promoting government-funded green jobs.
Read that again: Jackson’s Caddy SUV was stripped while he was in town promoting green jobs.
Add Jesse to the Al Gore-Tom Friedman-Barack Obama School of Environmental Hypocrisy. While preaching to Americans that they need to cram their families into hybrid Priuses to go shopping for compact fluorescent light bulbs to save the planet, they themselves continue to live large.
Although Jackson preached that, “We need an economy that creates employment that can’t be shipped overseas,” the parts from his more than not eco-friendly vehicle were, more than likely, shipped overseas.
If the irony of the event were not perfect enough, the picture of Jackson finding out his vehicle was absolutely priceless.
"The 'Priceless' moment."
Practice what you preach Reverend Jackson.
"Could the GOP grab 10 seats and take control of the Senate?"
Speaker McConnell?
Charlie Cook is on of the nations foremost political prognosticators.
He is not saying that the GOP will win control of the Senate this November.
But he is saying that the GOP could win control of the Senate this November.
For much of this year, it seemed a near mathematical impossibility that Republicans could score the 10-seat net gain needed to flip the Senate, which is split between 59 Democrats (including two independents who caucus with Democrats and largely vote with the party) and 41 Republicans. As recently as six weeks ago, I wrote in a CongressDailyAM column that a GOP win was “certainly possible” but “still fairly unlikely.” Although the “fairly unlikely” part is still valid, the possibility of a GOP takeover is growing.
To be sure, a 10-seat gain for Republicans remains hard. Eighteen Senate seats could plausibly turn over — a dozen held by Democrats and six by Republicans. Looking first at the five open seats — Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, New Hampshire, and Ohio — that the GOP is defending, the Republican challenger holds the lead in each race. Granite State voters won’t select nominees until September 14, but former Attorney General Kelly Ayotte, the Republican with the best chance of defeating Rep. Paul Hodes, the presumptive Democratic nominee, is increasingly favored to win the GOP nod. None of the Republican leads in these five states is insurmountable, but at this point, you would rather be the GOP nominee than the Democratic one in each place.
There are few signs that the contest of scandal-plagued Rep. David Vitter, R-La., is getting competitive. Meanwhile, Rep. Richard Burr’s numbers suggest real vulnerability in North Carolina, but it looks exceedingly unlikely that either Southern incumbent is in any real danger of losing. In a better year for Democrats, maybe, but not this year.
Suffice it to say that Republicans have a good shot of holding all their seats. If that’s true, then the GOP would need to win 10 Democratic-held seats to win the majority.
Definitely good news for Conservatives, but Glenn Reynolds’ words keep playing through my mind.
"A gray, tired looking President reacts to higher unemployment numbers."
“Recovery Summer.”
President Obama once again reminded the American people that he does not make mistakes.
One of the few questions he answered came from a reporter who asked whether he regretted branding the past several weeks as “Recovery Summer.”
“I don’t regret the notion that we are moving forward because of the steps that we’ve taken.”
A very political and polarizing response to an issue that has affected nearly every American in one way or another.
Things have gotten so bad that Melissa Clouthier suggested that White House might consider canceling Labor Day this year.
“In other news, Labor Day has been canceled since nobody has a job.”
During today’s Rose Garden address, the President continued his claim that better days are just around the corner.
“There are better days ahead… We are moving in the right direction. We just have to speed it up.”
Unfortunately for President Obama and his fellow Democrats, very few voters agree with his assessment.
For the second straight week, 29% of Likely Voters say the country is heading in the right direction.
And the economic numbers do not support the President’s optimism.
“The Jobless Rate is expected to continue to grow over the next few months, possibly reaching 10.0% again by the end of the year.”
It is time for the President to deal with reality.
America is not vacationing her way through “Recovery Summer“.
If the President does not get on the ball, and quick, it may be quite a long time before our economy shows any signs of real recovery at all.
