ProConPundit Appalled At Treatment of Palin


Has the media treated Sarah Palin unfairly? You better believe it. She is not my choice. Frankly, I think she is as experienced as a Vice-President would need to be if the President would not be the oldest president ever. That said, Barack Obama’s lack of experience has not been scrutinized in two years as much as Sarah Palin has in the last five days. Not only that, the same media that intentionally kept quiet for over a year the bastard love child of John Edwards, as well as the devious plot of John and Elizabeth Edwards to buy off the bimbo and deceive the American public has disgustingly broadcasted the pregnant teenage daughter of Sarah Palin. By media, I mean the New York Times, NBC and MSNBC. Other media outlets have also cruelly said that Sarah Palin’s four month old son is actually her grandson–that she is pretending it is her son to have kept quiet that her same daughter had a prior teenage pregnancy.

Consequently, Sarah Palin will come out swinging in her speech tonight. She will charm the country tonight, on the one hand, in no small part by declaring war on the media. This hot woman who could strangle a moose with her bare hands is going to let the media know that she is perfectly fine with their wrath and rejection–that she is going to Washington to work for the rest of the people the elites look down on. These are the embittered, religion and gun clinging people, many in Pennsylvania who Obama referenced in the primary. She is also going to proverbially ring the necks of those who have doubted her experience, this would include a “just-kidding, Madame Governor” ProConPundit and slap Obama when she says, "Being a mayor is a lot like being a community organizer except that it has actual responsibilities."

I just finished watching Sally Quinn of the Washington Post skewering McCain and Palin. The far-left Quinn thinks Palin should stay home and raise her kids. She also presumes to have knowledge she, in fact, could not have in saying McCain did not properly vet Palin. Again, she was not my choice but she was McCain’s and it was his right. That he didn’t vert Palin in advance at the altar of the media is not a serious factor to me.

In 1984, then Vice-President George Bush got in a little trouble when saying after debating Geraldine Ferraro, “Well, we kicked a little ass last night.” The presumed referencing of Ferraro’s ass as little was considered sexist. No sexism here, fasten your seat belts, this smart, sexy, moose hunting, giant killing Alaskan is going to kick a lot of ass here on in. Note: she won’t be a victim.
Bill Kristol said something interesting tonight. Kristol, who is Editor of The Weekly Standard, a neo-con, and who, incidentally, was Chief of Staff to Vice-President Dan Quayle. He also worked on the staff of Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan in the seventies as Deputy Issues Director. Kristol has never been a fan of McCain and predicted a couple of months ago that McCain would and should pick Palin. Kristol said that John McCain, in picking Palin, has decided he will not lose this election as a courtly old Republican, like Bob Dole. Dole picked Jack Kemp and lost without surprise and without ever stirring up the race. Maverick McCain has bet the dream of his lifetime on stirring things up. He has done that. Sarah Palin has done that. A week ago, no one thought this convention would be exciting. McCain will probably win. If he loses, he will lose in his own, maverick/maddening way, making a splash and making history.

I must admit, as much as I would have favored Lieberman or Ridge, putting aside any controversy their selection would have brought, the only excitement would have been the criticism by Republicans. A unity ticket of McCain-Lieberman would have had some excitement but not much. McCain and Lieberman are both great patriots and bright leaders, but boring.

The media: NBC and MSNBC, in particular, are furious that McCain picked someone who surprised them. The larger liberal media is Clarence Thomasing her. How dare President Bush (Sr.) name a black supreme court justice who is not a totey for Jesse Jackson and the liberal left. Likewise, the liberal media and the far left is furious and running scared because John McCain had the audacity to name a woman who is not a left winger. This was expressed today on The View by Joy Behar, who said, “You Can’t Exchange One Vagina For Another.” Behar is a pig...Palin is on her way. For the record, I didn’t watch The View.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama has finally agreed to be interviewed by Bill O’Reilly tomorrow night.
