The same level of scrutiny will not be forthcoming
Topic: Editorializing

In the interests of fairness, I figure that since Obama got dragged across the coals for his association with Pastor Wright, that Palin ought to come in for some critique based on her association with a church that actively seeks the conversion of Jewish people and holds conferences for the "pray away the gay" movement.  And I'm perfectly willing to bet that this never makes the mainstream media. After all, when it comes to what we look for in a leader, membership in a church rife with anti-Semitism and homophobia is nowhere near as outrageous as attending the church of a pastor who harshly critiques institutional racism in the United States </bitter sarcasm, on a very temporary basis>. 

I want this election to be over so that (hopefully) I can stop feeling sullied by everything associated with it.

I never knew that.  I did't think I could like her much less than I already did, but I think I might now.

Did you see her grizzly bear blanket?

I wholeheartedly agree with you, Jennine. I am sick and tired of people not getting to ask her questions (any person, be that a "regular" American in a town hall forum or a member of the media who isn't handpicked for their ability to kiss her ass).She should be held accountable for this and many many many other things.Oh it's going to be a long couple of weeks.

Tell me about it. I can't decide whether I'm looking forward to the VP debate or not. Last night's was aggravating enough, on so many levels. Can't we just vote and get this over with?
