Scarborough is asserting that the media doesn’t “hate” either the tea party movement or Sarah Palin.
They say this even as Mika continues to play with her hand.
Go turn it on and don’t be drinking while you see these people maintaining that this isn’t so.
I can’t see how we would come to that conclusion.
Update: Newsbusters notices
To the shock of nobody, Morning Joe goes after Sarah Palin as a one trick pony this morning. I can guarantee that this week Deepak Chopra will be there to tout his story in the huff po.
It is interesting to note what journalists from abroad saw vs some on the left that already has their own image of both the Tea Parties and Sarah Palin.
If you want to be surprised, be surprised that they haven’t gone nuts over her hand like the rest of the left UPDATE: Andrea Mitchell does it later in the cast. If you are surprised at the hand job jokes from our enlightened members of the left who are supposedly not a bit sexist then you haven’t read the reclusive leftist at all in the last 18 months:
Will it never end? Tonight the news is full of yammering about Sarah Palin writing on her hand. This is apparently more evidence that she is a moron bimbo from outer space, etc., etc., etc.
I used to have a boyfriend who wrote on his hand. I thought it was a rather juvenile habit for a grownup, but whatever. (I used to ask him why he didn’t just buy a fricking notepad. He insisted that hands were more convenient.) The thing is, nobody ever accused him of being stupid because of it. He had a graduate degree or two and was a successful executive in the financial industry.
What kinds of things did he write on his hand? The same kinds of things I write on my notepad. Words. Names. Reminders that are meaningless to anyone else.
So Sarah Palin writes on her hand. Just like my ex-boyfriend. Big whoop.
And if it isn’t hand jobs, it is a Chris Wallace eye roll? Give me a break!
Watching Andrea Mitchell this morning I’m shocked she doesn’t have a coronary every time Palin goes on stage anywhere. Oh now Mitchell goes with the hand stuff. What a bunch of losers!
Founding Bloggers puts it best:
Note to the left: You can read the writing on the hand, or the writing on the wall. Take your pick.
They have made their pick.
Hey Joe how is that book selling for ya?
Update: Legal Insurrection spots more Liberal Misogyny.
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…
This story is an excellent example of making up a headline to fit one’s template. Here is the headline:
here is the actual quote:
I asked Palin spokesperson Meghan Stapleton for comment on Rush’s rant, and she emailed me this:
“Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name calling at the expense of others is disrespectful.”
What is missing from this sentence? Does Governer Palin think that Rush Limbaugh’s “rant” as Mr Sargent refers to it amounts to: “crude and demeaning name calling”?
Do you get that from that statement? I don’t. Do you see Rush mentioned in that reply? I don’t. Do you see an attempt to make a fight between Palin & Rush where there isn’t and to take the heat off Rahm Emanuel? Yup.
This is the same type of wishful thinking reporting that allowed the Boston Globe to believe that Martha Coakley was 15 point up 9 days before the election. And apparently the wishful thinking is not confined to the left.
Guys I don’t get paid to report (but feel free to kick in here). I expect better from people who do.
Oh and by the way, lets quit this “R” word idiocy. The word people were talking about was retard. r-e-t-a-r-d. It is a perfectly good word and is defined in the dictionary here. We should as a rule treat people with respect and not be crude and insulting to others, but lets also not be afraid of words nor treat ourselves with such fragility that we can’t cope with them.
The weaker we make ourselves the weaker we will be.
Update: If I’m reading Ann Althouse right she is with me on the Palin camp rips Rush nonsense.
Update 2: Rush says the same.
