Tweed is attributed with exclaiming, "'Stop them damned pictures. I don't care so much what the papers say about me. My constituents can't read. But, damn it, they can see pictures!'"
Lots of Americans get their policies from bumper stickers. Or political cartoons.
Elite Liberal Journalists probably do not realize this.
By consensus, this cover is funny.
Stephen Colbert at the Press dinner was not.
See how many times Corporate Media uses this code word.
Let us see how many times the Corporate Media calls Obama "Presumptuous".
Notice the two phallic symbols at seconds 8 and 12?
NYT Bob Herbert mentioned them.
Just wondering.
they shoulda got Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
Then MAYBE we could get them to discuss issues.
David Brooks is backing a candidate who just lost an energy debate with Paris Hilton.
I have only one word to say:
Solzhenitsyn
I am not a Hill fan, but she was ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.
I have never seen her better.
And Gov. Brian Schweitzer gave an engaging, brilliant speech.
But my favorite was Rep. Dennis Kucinich. My choice for POTUS.
He brought a sleepy, after lunch crowd roaring to its feet.
Does she have NATIONAL policy experience?
Alaska is so different from all the other states.
Does her two years have ANY relevance?
Trooper-gate; Water-break-gate; Baby-gate; Wasilla-Mayor-Recall-gate; Bridge-to-Nowhere-gate.
After 3 years she left Wasilla with $20 mil of long term debt.
Just an opinion, but I don't think she was well- vetted.
How DARE she say "The Bridge to Nowhere - Thanks, but No Thanks"? ... AGAIN!
We KNOW she was for it and LOBBIED for it.
We KNOW she was against it when it Congress cut it out.
We KNOW she took the $400 mil and put it into the public fund.
We KNOW she took that fund and passed out CASH, MY Tax money, to Alaskans
WE KNOW the FACTS.
How DARE she tell this story a SECOND TIME?
American families are struggling every day.
How DARE John McCain stand in back of her and smirk?
The nation has a $9 Trillion debt.
How DARE the Republicans stand up and Cheer?
ENOUGH!
I hope the Dems have the Brains and the Guts to call them on this.
I am OUTRAGED!

She taxed Big Oil with a windfall, and distributed the money to Alaskans.
Just like Obama wants to do.
Her pipeline hired a Canadian Company to do the work, not Americans.
She outsourced jobs.
How dare they insult my intelligence?

Focus back on McCain and Poor Judgement.
It is not about Palin, Obama and experience.
It is about POOR JUDGEMENT. McCain caused all this flap and distraction. I do not want this guy getting the 3 AM call and start shooting from the hip. It is STILL reckless, despite how well Palin looked.
Refocus the campaign. McCain does NOT have the TEMPERAMENT.

Attack her record! No need to exaggerate or embellish. Just tell the facts.
Mayor with $27 mil in TAXPAYER Earmarks, for a town of 6000.
And still left it with $22 mil in debt.
JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!
Spent money not on useful public works, but for a sports complex that is underused. Built it on land that did not belong to the city. Left the city in litigation.
Irresponsible. JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!
Reformer? 2year a director of indicted Sen. Ted Stevens 527. That is how she got the $27 mil. When he gets indicted, she claims she is against corruption.
JUST LIKE BUSH REPUBLICAN!
Big Oil financed her mayoral bid!
JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!
Acively lobbied for the Bridge to Nowhere, before she was against it, then took the money anyway. Then lied about being against it.
JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!
Promises to cooperate on an abuse of power investigation, but then stonewalls and refuses to testify.
JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!
All of these are just facts about her record.
Hit that.
