is worth a read. It is something that a lot of mainstream journalists owe us.
Although he does indulge in his normal Palin derangement/Sullivan’s syndrome behavior he still deserves credit for it..
I can’t help but tweak him however over one statement that is so funny that you had better not be drinking when you read it. So put down whatever you are drinking before you click the “read the rest of the entry” link…
….and his review in the New York Times shows it. And in four sentences he boils down the essence of both Sarah Palin and the book.
For many politicians, family life is sandwiched in between long hours in public service. Palin wants us to know that for her it is the reverse. Political success is an accident that says nothing about you. Success as a wife, mother and citizen says everything.
That is the bottom line, oh and notice the amusing condensation he deals with in simply obtaining the book and the talking down he gets from the shocked readers of the times totally unaccustomed to even a review of a conservative book let alone a positive one..
My own review is here and my post here.
Via Glenn.
A: He has forced the media’s hand.
Twice before Stewart has led the media. Back in January he was the first to tweak Obama as Bush 3 and remember the atmosphere where that took place:
As an aside, did you note the hesitancy of the audience to laugh at this stuff? They’re really so besotted, they think they’re not supposed to laugh or question President Obama, who Hollywood is declaring we must “pledge to serve.”
That was back in January when nobody would touch him. It was Stewart’s move that allowed what would eventually follow.
Next Came ACORN, While all the media was pretending the tapes didn’t exist Stewart Struck.
When you have a video on the Daily Show that complements Fox News AND Michelle Malkin vs the regular media then you know you have troubles.
Hey MSM when John Stewart isn’t going to go along you’d better start worrying.
And now for the 3rd Time John Stewart has struck on a story that the MSM has ignored or pooh poohed.
What does this mean? It means that the story that the MSM has ignored is now before the audience. It means that the customers of NBC & MSNBC that has made the green cause their own is openly scooped by a person who openly states that his business is “fake news”
This explains why so many on the left consider him a valuable news source. To them he is “breaking news”.
Stewart is biased, that is known but he is smarter than the networks. He is far sighted enough to know what was coming and got ahead of it, (at least compared with the MSM).
Stewart and his staff’s actions protect his reputation as a newsman & staff. Apparently their reputations are more significant than the reputations of Couric, Williams, et/al. Just think about it, a fake newsman is more worried about getting news out than the people who supposedly do it for a living.
If the media is not ashamed, it’s only because they have no pride or standards left.
It would be very funny if it wasn’t so sad.
is this Tweet:
hey Chinese government – i found a way to sneak around your firewall on my laptop to get to twitter. Dont fear freedom, Chinese government. about 12 hours ago from web

He is putting himself out there and China has a long memory, does he care? No! This explains why he isn’t worried about challenging this White House, if he’s not afraid of China he certainly isn’t going to be afraid of Obama.
He even gets to the bottom of the bow:
“This picture shows two things,” my friend writes.
“1) The ‘right’ is wrong about Obama’s bow.
“2) The ‘left’ is wrong about Obama’s bow.
“His bow is neither (1) unprecedented nor (2) a sign of cultural understanding.
“At their 1971 meeting in Alaska, the first visit of a Japanese Emperor to America, President Nixon bowed and referred to Emperor Hirohito and his wife repeatedly as ‘Your Imperial Majesties.'”
and he explains why the left is wrong too (although other than anti-communism Nixon was very much a liberal republican).
The bow as he performed did not just display weakness in Red State terms, but evoked weakness in Japanese terms….The last thing the Japanese want or need is a weak looking American president and, again, in all ways, he unintentionally played that part.
Would there be anyone worth paying attention to in the Washington press corps if he wasn’t there, (excluding of course the wonderful Byron York)?
Exit question: How long before he ends up at Fox when the White House gets sick of dealing with him?
