When it comes to Sarah Palin, he gets it.

I have only one thing to say about David Broder’s column today.

Yet another coincidence prior to tonight’s meeting…

Planned Parenthood often argues that kids are going to have sex anyways so their services are required. I expect to hear that argument made tonight. I’ll wager they didn’t count on us rednecks in Fitchburg looking at the Washington post.
Headline: Abstinence-only programs might work, study says
What a coincidence, let’s take a look inside:
Only about a third of sixth- and seventh-graders who completed an abstinence-focused program started having sex within the next two years, researchers found. Nearly half of the students who attended other classes, including ones that combined information about abstinence and contraception, became sexually active.
The findings are the first clear evidence that an abstinence program could work. (emphasis mine)
“I think we’ve written off abstinence-only education without looking closely at the nature of the evidence,” said John B. Jemmott III, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania who led the federally funded study. “Our study shows this could be one approach that could be used.”
How about that! It will be an interesting article to have tonight. Exit question: If the study was about sex education do you think the post would have used the word “might” in conjunction with the results?
Did you notice what was missing from MSNBC’s hit on Palin this morning?

I’ve always liked Chris Hitchens even though he is seriously embedded with Palin Derangement syndrome and it was because of that syndrome that he made it on the last segment on MSNBC’s Morning Joe today.
In between talking sense on the war (which he always does) and pointing out that Joe Biden insulted Afghanistan with his “Good luck in your senior year” crack; (BIG NEWS) he backed up Eugene Robinson on his Palin Hit today and derided and insulted the governor so strongly that his old friends on the left might be tempted to have him back. Andrea Mitchell agreed but nobody can throw an insult like Chris Hitchens can, his insults are almost high art.
Somehow nobody at that MSNBC table mentioned climategate as a probable cause for any shift:
The president’s decision to attend the international climate conference in Copenhagen needs to be reconsidered in light of the unfolding Climategate scandal.
That is the first line in her Facebook post. Let’s look at the first line of her post op-ed
With the publication of damaging e-mails from a climate research center in Britain, the radical environmental movement appears to face a tipping point.
This point never made it to the table. For MSNBC Climategate doesn’t exist unlike say Glenn Reynolds who this morning had 6 posts on the subject between 7:50 & 8:45 this morning.
Morning Joe is the best MSNBC has, and Joe and Mika are the fairest people on that entire network, yet one blogger in Tennessee sees the elephant in the room that they can’t.
If they aren’t embarrassed then that is only because they have lost the capability to be so.
