Ugly Comment of the Week: Nora O’Donnell Badgers Teen Girl for Supporting Sarah Palin
MSNBC’s Nora O’Donnell performs some classic gotcha journalism. Her latest target? A 17 year old supporter of Sarah Palin at a Going Rogue: An American Life
book signing. The girl in question, Jackie, handled herself brilliantly as O’Donnell tried to show her - and by association - all Palin supporters as star-struck dunces.
LATimes Blog: Shhhhh Sarah Palin gaining ground vs Barack Obama
From the Top of the Ticket
Not that it matters politically because obviously she’s a female Republican dunce and he’s obviously a male Democrat genius.
But Sarah Palin’s poll numbers are strengthening.
And President Obama’s are sliding.
Guess what? They’re about to meet in the 40s.
Depending, of course, on which recent set of numbers you peruse and how the questions are phrased, 307 days into his allotted 1,461 the 44th president’s approval rating among Americans has slid to 49% or 48%, showing no popularity bounce from his many happy trips, foreign and domestic.
Virginia line for Sarah Palin Going Rogue Book buyersRiding the wave of immense publicity and symbiotic media interest over her new book, Going Rogue
and the accompanying promotional tour, Palin’s favorable ratings are now at 43%, according to ABC. That’s up from 40% in July.
One poll even gives her a 47% favorable.
[...]If she somehow mobilized Iowa’s white evangelicals as Mike Huckabee did to win the 2008 season-opening caucus, many bets would be off about her unelectability. Right now, Palin holds 65% approval among white evangelical Protestants, not a bad place to start, if she decides to.
Anyway, Palin says 2012’s not on her radar. Which is a good idea. The year 2010 is much more important for both of these political personalities.
No longer holding any office and personally set financially by the book’s runaway success, Palin can devote her SarahPac and the entire year to collecting chits from local Republicans.

Time to bust Carrie Prejean out fo Conservative Icon Prison
Carrie Prejean is back in the news. She had an uncomfortable appearance on Larry King and everyone has been talking ’sex-tape’ ’sex-tape’ ’sex-tape’. Dan Calabrese explains Prejean Derangement Syndrome :
Why is Carrie Prejean not allowed to have appeared in topless photos or in a “sex tape”? This gets a little complicated, so try to stay with me:
Once Carrie Prejean had expressed an opinion on a social/political issue that is unacceptable to the American left, she found herself on The List. And what is The List? The List is a collection of people who can, must and will have their entire lives scoured for any example of “hypocrisy.”
But we’re not done yet. We have to explain the definition of “hypocrisy” as determined by the keepers of The List – because it’s different from yours and mine. You and I think hypocrisy is when you say one thing and do another. Prejean upset the likes of Perez Hilton by saying that marriage is between a man and a woman. So what would make her a hypocrite? If she married another woman, of course. (Or if she, say, performed a wedding ceremony between the aforementioned Mr. Hilton and, er, maybe, Jon Gosselin.)
Then she would be a hypocrite as you and I define it. But that’s not the definition that applies here.
The definition that applies here works like this: She is a conservative and a Christian. Conservatives and Christians are judgmental prudes who a) claim to be perfect; and b) judge everyone else for not being perfect. So it doesn’t matter that she never denounced topless photos. It doesn’t matter that she never denounced “sex tapes.” Every prudish, judgmental belief that has ever been imagined by a critic of Christians and conservatives is hereby ascribed to Carrie Prejean. Anything she has ever done in contradiction of these imagined beliefs thereby proves her hypocrisy.
Conclusion: Gay marriage is awesome. And all because TMZ has a video of Carrie Prejean masturbating. It’s good to be alive.
Chicago Trib: ABC’s V Takes Aim at Obamania
The Trib’s glowing review of ABC’s reboot of the 80’s sci-fi series V 
sees many parallels between the media fawning over the Obamessiah and these fictional visitors.
Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.
The news media swoons in admiration — one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: “Why don’t you show some respect?!” The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader’s origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: “Embracing change is never easy.”So, does that sound like anyone you know? Oh, wait — did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who’s come here to eat us?
Sounds like a documentary to me. I will be checking it tonight for sure.
