The corner notices some interesting wordplay on the MSNBC site in a story by Courtney Hazlett:

There’s been plenty of speculation that Levi Johnston, the father of Tripp, Sarah Palin’s first acknowledged grandchild, has been giving interviews to the likes of Larry King and Tyra Banks so that he can land an endorsement or modeling deal.

The line has been rather sloppily removed from the main MSNBC site but it still lives on via sites that syndicated it and haven’t edited the copy, such as here here and here.

Now unless Miss Hazlett has been drinking Andrew Sullivan’s koolaid I think an explanation is in order; what made her decide on that word when this was written? What evidence if any did you have to suggest that there is another grandchild out there. This should be done preferably on Morning Joe.

Because you can have so much fun if you choose to add the word “acknowledged” to any conversation concerning Courtney Hazlett. The mind boggles! Particularly during the morning joe liveblogging.

Finally up early enough to see it!

6:13 a.m. The difference between the two leaders is interesting and everyone notices it.

6:15 a.m. You overreach and have showtrials it will blow up. He doesn’t know the half of it.

6:17 a.m Personally I think the president likes this. I think this gives him power over congressional democrats.

6:23 a.m. Gee they never had a chance until suddenly a major change came to the ticket. Pat mentions seems to remember what actually gave McCain a chance.

6:29 a.m. I’m sorry but seeing that rather statuesque woman talking about going out to play shortly will certainly wake up a certain percentage of the viewing audience.

6:31 a.m. “Honoring” horses? That is going to be a killer lawsuit.

6:32 a.m. Hey they are constantly promoting the Green stuff, lets decide it’s an NBC construct and totally ignore it.

6:34 a.m. The promos for Olberman and Maddow are just hilarious considering the headlines. Apparently this is a problem for Republicans?

6:35 a.m. And then the show comes back on and Gibbs statement and ducking brings the reality. This is unsustainable.

6:40 a.m. Joe hits the nail on the head, you don’t do this while the war is on.

6:43 a.m. FDR and Wilson and Lincoln, Joe is on a roll.

6:45 a.m. Malkin’s book is looking better and better!

6:57 a.m. You know if Blago didn’t exist Willie would have to invent him.

7:01 a.m. Willie who was a judge is saying NC was goign to win everyway. Mika insists that she was discriminated against.

7:02 a.m. Willie won’t answer the Gay Marriage issue. Mika is really hot on this, boy I wish I was up early this week to see it all play out.

7:03 a.m. Pat brings up the Perez c— stuff. Mika points out that people who agree with Hilton are poorly represented by him.

7:05 a.m. Joe: “Some people on the left like to feel morally superior.” It seems this dovetails a lot with the Miss California stuff. This is a great debate.

7:06 a.m. I was very angry and divisive my first year in congress. If you feel yourself getting angry you have to step back and think is his advice. That is a function of experience.

7:16 a.m. What is this wired stuff? This is the Jacksonian side of America.

7:17 a.m. Letter writers figure Mika put a target on herself. Who cares what Perez thinks. She wasn’t shy about hitting Rancic.

7:27 a.m. Hoekstra : “They were for this program before they were against it.”

7:33 a.m. Will this stuff get destroyed? Bureaucracys tend to protect themselves.

7:43 a.m. The democrats running were for this. John Edwards is mentioned.

8:00 a.m. Oh boy more NYT magazine!

8:10 a.m. Gene Robinson is unwilling to take the logical step about war crimes.

8:12 a.m. Gene Robinson: “I’m comfortable with my moral argument but I’m uncomfortable where my legal argument leads me.”

8:14 a.m. The Nixon pardon comes up again. This is going to be the left’s escape clause in the end.

8:28 a.m. The theory is to let the Taliban gain strength to justify taking them down violently? Did I hear that right?

8:58 a.m. What we learned with Pat and Mika were spot on.

Hilton has now said publicly that her opposition to Gay Marriage cost Miss California the Miss USA crown.

It would be an interesting thing to ask what Miss North Carolina thinks on the matter. Well done Mr. Hilton you have just turned Miss North Carolina into the 1919 Cincinnati Reds.

Well I guess we all know where we stand now. Lets ask our friends on the left what other jobs or honors we and the other 67% of Americans that don’t support Gay marriage should be excluded from?

UPDATE: I only caught the last few min of Morning Joe but apparently Willie didn’t succumb to this nonsense.

Update 2 Michelle Malkin notes that Hilton keeps digging and MSNBC doesn’t mind.

Gateway Pundit comments too. Don Surber too.

Spotty Morning Joe

Will lightly blog morning joe while fixing the ipod and getting ready for the Carpenter.

7:06 a.m. Story one is Georgetown. Tim Kaine is first.

7:08 a.m. Kaine dodges it but then Johnathan confirmed that it was requested.

7:11 a.m. Rationalizing the veterans “threat”.

7:13 a.m. He is not hesitant about Coleman backing down, some things are more important than others.

7:37 a.m. Oh local news? Such as not reporting on 1000+ people protesting on the Boston Common? Good thing we have that Boston Globe eh?

7:39 a.m. Would you pay for the NYT online? I wouldn’t.

8:02 a.m. I wonder if they reviewed Levin’s book?

8:09 a.m. Actually we are paying for Carter letting the Islamists in.

8:11 a.m. Castro is a bridge too far for Matthews. Matthews thinks the cold war was a good war. He is going on about Castro is the bad guy.

8:12 a.m. The NYT trying to defend Castro and the cold war. Matthews is defending Reagan. Am I actually awake?

8:20 a.m. Hitchens had himself waterboarded so he can speak with some authority on this.
