Creators Syndicate hack Froma Harrop comes a little late to the Palin bashing party, but she reports enough debunked lies and myths in one article to put here in the top ranks of those suffering from Palin Derangement Syndrome.

In hers headlined, “Palin should move to TV talk show,” Harrop proves that she should move from Creator’s Syndiacte to the National Enquirer… unless Creator’s Syndicate is trying to unseat the supermarket tabloid in hack writing. If that is the case, then Harrop is on the right track.

Froma Harrop committed journalistic malpractice of a gross nature with this lie-filled, uniformed rant. But, where Governor Sarah Palin is concerned, Harrop’s slobbering is wholly unoriginal. She, like many of her hate addled colleagues, are so consumed with vitriol for Sarah Palin that any manner of lies and false charges are fair game and are to be considered “facts” in their world of venomous malignity. As far as Palin is concerned it’s attack now, worry about truth later… or not at all. And in Harrop’s case it is not at all because she regurgitates lies here that have been thoroughly debunked weeks ago.

Like those of the rest of her profession, Froma Harrop has a visceral hatred of Palin and a nearly pathological need to destroy her. Facts don’t matter. Truth is unnecessary. Decorum and objectivity are disdained.

They just want Palin destroyed and they will do anything to get that job done.

Zo Long, Zima.

Slate.com reports on the long, slow, torturous death of Zima. “There are a million ways to slight a rival’s manhood, but to suggest that he enjoys Zima is one of the worst.”

We couldn’t agree more. No self-respecting guy would be caught dead with a Zima in his hand. The brand has, for too long, been associated with the wussified, “zophisticated”, girly-men who could never quite acquire a taste for real beer, and women, of course.

There was a period of about two months in 1994 when it was socially acceptable for a man to drink it, but only once and only as some sort of experiment to prove that he was too manly to like it. The stigma attached to the brand lasted through several attempts to rebrand it as more manly. I don’t think that even reformulating it as a mixture of Megan Fox’s bath water and diesel fuel could have saved the brand-image for men.

Girly-men had long ago moved on to more socially acceptable brands of not-beer, such as Mike’s hard whatever-fruit and Smirnoff Ice.

Rest in Peace, Zima.
