Selected Editorials

The Alaska Daily News channels Orwell in its description this morning of Sarah Palin's Troopergate troubles. She is claiming she has been vindicated, although the facts show no such thing:

In plain English, she did something "unlawful." She broke the state ethics law.

The Baltimore Sun asks if Palin is this way in Alaska, how would she behave in Washington?

To which I ask the nation's media: If you are scrutinizing every little and major thing Sarah Palin does, WHY hasn't Barack Obama been vetted?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I have seen NUMEROUS editorials like this one from the Buffalo News chastising John McCain's campaign because it dares to go negative, but not ONE goddamned word was EVER uttered by the news media about Obama's filthy tactics against other Democratic candidates in the primaries, namely Hillary Clinton.

Not one word.

Obama has NOT run a clean campaign. McCain's criticisms have been extremely mild compared to other campaigns.

By the way, where was the media outrage in 2000? In 2004? Hell, where was the outrage when the GOP right persecuted the Clintons during the 1990s? The media were strangely silent if not actively encouraging it.

It is indeed topsy-turvy.

The Capital Times all but writes off John McCain, but gives him some suggestions on how to improve his fortunes. Not a word about Obama's filthy tactics against his opponents. He's the Messiah, after all.
_____

It appears Bush's infusion of cash to struggling banks is a better idea than Paulson's original plan.
