NY Times' scorched Earth policy on Palin

I've been way too busy the last few days and haven't had as much time to rant as much as I'd like to. Hopefully this week things will slow down and I can get back into a groove with this blog.

I did want to say a few words about that old liberal fishwrap The New York Times and their 'objective' coverage of Sarah Palin. If you haven't heard, the Times published no less than four hit pieces on Governor Palin this past Sunday. Between the supposedly 'hard' news stories and the Op Ed columns, their concern over what was once a sure win for Barry is obvious. And since the Times (unfortunately) drives much of what is reprinted in papers around the country and broadcast on the networks, the Palin-bashing has plenty of outlets to bleed from.

It is clear that the Times is in absolute panic mode - as is most of the Left - due to Palin's growing popularity.

And speaking of Op Ed columns, I couldn't leave you tonight without mentioning Bob Herbert's laughably paranoid diatribe from a couple of days ago which you can read here.

Mr. Herbert writes:

John McCain, who is shameless about promoting himself as America’s ultimate patriot, put the best interests of the nation aside in making his incredibly reckless choice of a running mate. But there is a profound double standard in this country. The likes of John McCain and George W. Bush can do the craziest, most irresponsible things imaginable, and it only seems to help them politically.

Bob, I am in the uncomfortable position of telling you that you and your Democratic party are the 'incredibly reckless' ones. Once again, your party has shown its complete and utter ineptitude at choosing presidential candidates. (See Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry). Obama is probably the least qualified and least experienced presidential candidate in history; and he's at the top of your ticket. He's also probably the most liberal high office candidate in history as well, despite the centrist rhetoric he's tried to adopt in the general election.

Now, can't you just go back to writing about how we're greedily abusing the planet's resources while exploiting the third world? Oh wait, that's Thomas Friedman's job. What do you normally write about again?

You don't have to take your subconscious buyer's remorse out on us. Tell it to a bottle of scotch.
