Andrew Sullivan famously spent the length of a book openly wondering about what had, or had not, sprung from the fecund loins of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin.
Because of the investigative journalism that was in it.
But now that Breitbart has offered a reward for the contents of the journolist listserve?
An outrage!
I needn’t be lectured by a so-called “conservative” who has aided and abetted in this perversion of the American political experiment. Sullivan’s disgusting, ends-justify-the-means obsession with the personal family life of Sarah Palin breached every ethical and journalistic boundary known to the cosmos. Between airing Palin’s hacked private emails and making a cottage industry out of challenging the maternity of her son, Trig, sometimes the word “irony” or “hypocrisy” is not descriptive enough.
To highlight the absurdity of Sullivan’s outrage, perhaps his submission entitled “The Palin Emails” can grant you insight into a demented mind. Before divulging them in at least five separate posts, he wrote: ”They’ve leaked, of course. And they’re not pretty.”
And they weren’t meant to be public either, Andy.
Admittedly, a selective outrage.
Lot of that going around.
Selective Outrage….yes….
I posted something a bit about the same subject over at my Blog US NAVY JEEP
” Google News reports that the word “Apology” in news stories generates 27,800 hits …..Are you kidding me???? What the heck happened that every little slight now must require a public lashing and an apology??? How Oprah-fied has this country become that whenever anyone complains, we all need a Dr. Phil intervention, a group dissertation AND a public apology…..Give me a Frickin break.”
They need to leave Sarah Palin’s private life alone as well as the rest of the politicians as long as they haven’t broken the law, or done something outrageously stupid in public – Then you have brought on the attention and have little to say that your life is now under the microscope
(NOTE to Al Gore – you stepped in it big-time Global Warming SHAM ARTIST)
And for all those who ” DEMAND ” an apology over every slight, real or imagined – GET OVER YOURSELF…Don’t like things or feel offended by those of us who still have common sense??
P-ss off mutt face – go hump someone else’s leg.

You mean “The Green Grabber?”
Actually, I’ll be interested if he can buy his way out of a sexual battery charge. The implication of the potential, if it’s even partly true from the victim, is gonna make it hard for him to travel….
Why are the Left so afraid of Palin?
She is not a threat in ’12. Her only gun is speaking to us, the 49%.
Methinks looking in a mirror in the morning is not a happy place for Libs.
Anyone who openly aspires to greatness and encourages it in others has to be targeted by the Left. Otherwise, how else will P.Bo bring about the fundamental change promised during the campaign? You know, the one designed to bring us down into the depths of despair.
As long as the Right allows this wagging of the dog, we deserve what we get from MSM. There used to be such a thing as punishing slander and libel in this country, a good dose of which would do this country a lot of good.
Why are the Left so afraid of Palin?
Because she represents all that the left has been telling women for years – that she and – and does – have it all. Successful wife, mother and (now former) Governor. Yet she has the temerity to wrap it all in a conservative package.
How dare she live the feminist dream while remaining in touch with her feelings.
Proofread is my friend. That should read:
…that she can – and does – have it all.
The big problem is the feminist dream is actually a drug induced fantasy.
QM – to rationally thinking people, yes. But who said the people who have continued to eviscerate Sarah Palin and her family are rational.
I never did, and won’t. For the simple reason they are deranged.
The Governor has shown more class, grace, and guts in her left pinky than the sum of her opponents could produce if rendered down to component elements. As to the supertanker fleet full of bile, bitters, and lard her detractors would easily yield up in lieu of anything not vile, nothing more need be said.
Which is why her endorsement conveys the results it does, unlike that of some others without her sterling qualities.
Some of whom doubtless wonder in the wee hours if she is Nemesis.

Of the five people in line for POTUS, starting with POTUS hisself, there truly and objectively isn’t a single one of them whom I could recommend to scrub the commodes on lower deck of a Russian submarine. You can’t trust them to do the job right, they’ll never show up on time, they’ll bitch about the dirty job they have, they’ll blow smoke all day about how cool they are at what they do, and the end result would be a commode so damn filthy as to be unfit for use.
Gee, what a crappy analogy for what they’re doing with our government.
and they’d have somehow managed to have swindled anyone within earshot out of their money!
