Joan's drinking -- I mean objectivity -- problem

Here are the words Joan used in this article to describe McCain's performance last night:

Cranky, ass, hackneyed, condescending, repellent, despicable, grumpy, and sarcastic. Oh, and she also called him a put-down artist

Golly, on a scale of one to ten, that would register -3 on the objectivity meter. Maybe she was drinking when she wrote this after all. She sure sounds angry for someone claiming Obama "more than held his own" in this first debate.

@ MarcoAR -- Stop the anger?

What anger? Joan was simply using words like cranky, ass, hackneyed, condescending, repellent, despicable, grumpy and sarcastic to describe McCain. Not to worry. These are the people who are going to reach across the aisle. These are the people who are going to unite the country for us.

Joan -- "I hadn't seen the latest Couric-Palin-McCain interview when I wrote this. "

Did you bother watching any of the other interviews before you wrote this, Joan? Or are you still blithely cutting and pasting and passing it off as journalism? It never ceases to amaze me at what an axe-grinding hack you are. And yet plenty of piggies still seem to slobber at your trough.
