Morning Joe almost Beclowns itself…

…by featuring Mike Allen’s “Scoop” concerning Sarah Palin that she actually wrote all about in her book months ago.

After a long segment pushing this scoop. Willie gives one sentence as Allen fades acknowledging that Palin already wrote about these things.

I guess they are trying to cover themselves a-la Luke in Yes Prime Minister buried in a 189 page report on one paragraph on page 107.

Why do I get the feeling that someone in the place saw the instapundit link this morning just before it was broadcast and fed Willie that fact about the book just in time to cover him?

You know there is a reason why MSNBC is in last place, it’s stuff like this.

Checking the ground for Brown

Today I’m going to be meeting a friend of mine at the local coffee shop for lunch. They have first rate fish so it will be hopping a bit.

After lunch I’ll hit Romano’s to pick up something to cook for supper.

It is a great opportunity to make an experiment, I’m going to bring up the Brown Race and see what people say.

Let’s see if there is any excitement. His abortion stance certainly doesn’t excite me…

…but the Boston Phoenix must be actually scared because they are trying to paint him as anti-abortion…I wish.

Update: The Right Wing Gaming room left a comment on my earlier post concerning the subject. He lives in a different part of the state so It will be very interesting to see if he is hearing different things than I am. How about it fellow gamer, what are you hearing up in the Northeast corner of the state?

Stacy and Smitty must be dancing at the new site…

Robert’s arch enemy gets an insta-putdown without an instalanche and ‘Bama wins at the Rose Bowl. Their cup over floweth.

I must confess I have no interest in college sports (then again I don’t think he has an interest in Dr. Who so we’re even) but looking at the highlights my first thought is that young replacement QB for Texas played an acceptable game in an impossible situation. I would not want to coach against him in a few years because this is likely the most pressure he will ever face in the sport short of the pros.

Victory comes from a combination of skill and taking advantage of breaks when they come. Alabama did both and their victory is well earned.

And I’m still one up on him

Charles slanders Glenn and Patterico calls him out on it.

I’m not surprised by this and Glenn isn’t holding his breath waiting for an apology but the best revenge is this, Charles has not managed an instalanche since Aug 27 2009 and Patterico just received his 2nd of the new year.

If that isn’t enough my instalanche monday is one more than Charles has managed since then too . He’s still 232 instalanches up on me but I’m working on it.

Meanwhile Charles’ arch enemy Robert Stacy has managed 3 additional instalanches onthese posts since my last report bringing his total to 14 since Charles last one however Glenn has yet to link to the new site.

He must not be a fan of ‘bama.

Update: Glenn remembers what our grandmothers used to say:

Charles, I wish you well, but . . . well, I don’t really have much else I want to say right now.

It doesn’t matter Glenn; Charles will fill in the blanks

Update 2: Smitty corrects me on the link, that’s why his blog has 13 instalanches to my one over the last 5 months.
