Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey
I always love it when Jon Stewart demonstrates the Right Wing hypocrisy by playing older video clips of them taking the exact opposite position during the Bush administration. Nicely done.
P.S. By the way I am borrowing the phrase "massacre control" from Lawrence O'Donnell who used it on the Last Word yesterday, because I believe it is more accurate than the term"gun control," in defining what the President is really addressing with his plan.
After Palin's appearance on Today, she quickly limped back to Fox in order to commiserate with Sean Hannity, Dana Perino, and some old guy whose name I don't have time to learn. (The pertinent portion is between 0:25 and 3:45.)
“It wasn’t just a coincidence that I was on this morning up against some competition down the plaza.” Yeah personally I had no illusions that any of this was accidental.
"The people backstage," she writes to Zap2it, "who make the 'Today' show happen are top-notch! Todd (husband Todd Palin) said to let you know, Kate, that '...they put my home TV crew to shame' (That would be my crew of Todd and a buddy -- and sometimes the kids helping out -- in our Wasilla studio located in the back of Todd's airplane hanger).
"Really, it was a lot of fun to work with every single one of the folks at the 'Today' show. I have so much respect for the workerbees at my FOX job, and to see this network support staff working just as hard to produce their network's product reinforces my belief that it's the good people with their elbow grease and nose to the grindstone who make the world go 'round. They make the talent look good!
"And, frankly, I'm ecstatic we beat the 'perky one,' although I wouldn't have gone up against ABC's vacationing Robin Roberts, because she's such a good egg. By the way, both Robin and Matt Lauer have traveled the long journey to Alaska and dealt with unglamorous, rugged conditions to see more of our world; they've shown respect for a more unconventional Americana lifestyle, and we appreciate that."
"Workerbees?" Is that her version of "the little people?"
I don't know why Palin has to describe a trip to Alaska as rife with hardships. We are the 49th state in the union, NOT the deepest darkest jungles of Africa. (Which by the way ALL Alaskans, with one notable exception, recognize as a continent.)
So clearly Palin went on the Today show simply to beat the "perky one," as Palin so derisively calls award winning journalist Katie Couric, which is exactly the kind of ugly, mean girl comment that we have all come to expect from a woman with perhaps the longest list of enemies since Richard M. Nixon.
However what she fails to note is that the Today Show ALWAYS beats GMA, and that her appearance actually improved those ratings very little.
P.S. if you want to see Hannity's the entire interview with the Grizzled Mama you can see it by clicking here.
"It doesn't sound like her when you read the materials," she said. "And authenticity matters almost more than ever, and I think that's what mattered in 2010, and people wanted not to just hear the message, they wanted to hear the authenticity of it."
Gee how long ago did WE figure out that Palin was not writing her own op-eds and Facebook messages? Pretty much the first time we read one wasn't it?
Of course I am not insinuating that WE are smarter than the Fox News crew....well actually yes I am. As a matter of fact the IM community has been way ahead of the curve on almost everything Palin related for almost two years now. We stumble now and then, but for the most part we are pretty damn sharp, if I do say so myself.
