This week is going to be the media free-for-all on Sarah Palin…

…except for the outlets that manage to get her on.

Let’s face it, most of the MSM and the magazines that are attacking her are hemorrhaging readers and/or viewers. They will hit Palin they will make fun of Palin but they know that she is a breadwinner for them, and they also know that every moment that they cover Sarah Palin is a moment that they don’t have to cover this president and the best thing for their side (yes they have a side) is to avoid covering this president.

The media is going to be pretty much unwatchable all week.

As Rush has said, the left will tell us who they fear, and they are screaming it loudly. Watching Morning Joe today it is also not a coincidence that apparently the two of the favorite republicans of this show are apparently hit hard in this book.

Lets be blunt: Any Republican that thinks the advice of the media is worth taking for their benefit is an idiot and the concept that they will consult an editor of the Nation for this says much more about Morning Joe than it does about Sarah Palin.

Oh joy let try Kalied Sheikh Mohammed in New York

Morning Joe is reporting that the Attorney General is reporting that the 9/11 mastermind is going to be moved to NYC and tried in a civilian court.

Lets forgetting that discovery is going to really hurt intelligence and compromise agents and tactics this is going to have an incredible effect on the battlefield.

Terrorists taken on the battlefield will of course assume and demand lawyers. People who are not even entitled to Geneva protections will get the protections of US law and the best lawyers that our liberal friends will can provide, and trust me they will proudly provide them.

There is a message to our troops, kill them, kill them all and don’t bother to take them alive because you might end up being deposed. If I’m a commander in the field I take the gloves off, I don’t worry about taking anybody alive, I don’t risk my troops for anything now, and I just hit hard, with any weapon I am allowed. If there are non-combatants in the area I don’t worry about it.

This is a policy that is going to cost American lives and the decision of this administration is one they should be ashamed of, if it had any shame.

I guess the decision to do this right after Ft. Hood is the hope of burying all the bad news at once. I guess they decided that the Ft. Hood attack wasn’t a big enough win for Al-Qaeda so they decided to give them another one.

Update: At the News conference he ducks the question. He is a disgrace to this office.

Never forget people, we as a nation did this to ourselves, it is our fault and we will pay for this in blood.

Update 2: Memeorandum doesn’t have it yet, somebody besides me must be writing about it somewhere.

Update 3: It’s up there now.

Update 4: Hotair brings up a good point:

What do we get from having the 9/11 plotters tried in criminal court in New York City? Well, we get to have the city painted as a big, bright target for terrorist action during the entirety of the trial. Thanks to press coverage, which should be an order of magnitude more obsessive than the OJ Simpson trial in LA fourteen years ago, jihadists will come out of the woodwork to make a big international splash, or more likely a boom. We also give KSM and his cohorts a big, juicy media platform for their bile. That was one of their motivations for conducting the attack in the first place, and we finally get to deliver it to them.

I wonder if we will also get a Lynne Stewart ready to pass on info to his friends on the other side. Actually she is out now isn’t she, or if not will be by the time of the trial, she can work for the defense team.

Glenn used to use the phrase, “they’re not anti war they are just on the other side.“. Will we see it return with an interesting twist in the near future?

Did Tom Brokaw just say that Germany was sliced and diced by the west?

Brokov just said that Germany was sliced and diced by the west and the Soviet Union on Morning Joe and nobody called him on it.

Am I the only person alive who actually read history? Who actually talked to WW II vets? Did Brokov actually write a book called the greatest generation?

Is he going to endorse the Della Morte article?

What is wrong with these people?

This is a great example of why History is the most important subject in the world, the world has to be constantly reminded of reality because too many people either for personal gain or ignorance or by deception choose to forget it.

Morning Joe Cho Abortion position? What Abortion position?

Morning Joe is talking about Anh Cho talking about his district and stressing it over and over again.

Not a word about his position on Abortion or the fact that without the Stupak amendment he wouldn’t support it.

I suspect the game plan is to stress the district and keep Cho off the air for fear that he will bring up the Abortion business.

Interesting to note that Vanden huevel of the nation declined to say if she would support the bill in its current form if it comes to a final vote. Maybe we should ask her about the Berlin wall business?

Update: I second Quin Hillyer:

Ronald Reagan understood that sometimes local issues prevail. He played the game brilliantly. Remember that to pass one of his big initiatives — either the Reagan-Kemp-Roth tax cut or the major Gramm-Latta spending cuts, I can’t remember which — it was Reagan’s willingness to horse-trade that led Democratic then-Rep. John Breaux of Louisiana to boast about some protection he got for the sugar cane industry. Asked if his vote had been for sale, Breaux cracked: “No, of course it isn’t for sale, but it is for rent!”

What Cao did was nowhere near as cynical as that; but conservatives loved it when Breaux did it, because it brought him to Reagan’s side on a key vote.

But again, ALL ALONG, for months, Cao had said his line in the sand was abortion financing, and openly said he would likely vote for a bill that blocked such financing. In short, he did the honorable thing by saying where he stood and sticking with it. No, of course I don’t like his vote. But give the man a break: He’s an honorable, incredibly hard-working, inspirational young representative who is doing his darnedest to do a good job in a district ordinarily incredibly hostile to conservatives and Republicans of all stripes.

Cho and Dede are night and day. By all means lets fight and kill the bill if we can but I’ll take any victory on Abortion that I can get. Cho is one of the reasons we have that victory.
