Mean girl

Sarah Palin has a way of using "old boys" -- then dumping them when they become inconvenient.

    David Talbot is a Democrat Shill

    Talbot's article really misses the mark. To anyone who has followed Sarah Palin's career - and Talbot obviously has not - they would find that Talbot has culled selective quotes out of context and cobbled together opposition talking points from the squadron of Democrat operatives who decended upon Wasilla and Juneau to look for anything remotely questionable in Palin's career. Now, this ignorant Democrat hack, David Talbot, has seized upon something so ludicrous just so he can get the description "mean" out there to attract some attention to a magazine with almost no circulation, and read mostly by liberals on the two coasts.

    This guy is so far in the tank for Obama that he has never questioned Obama's past associations, or how "mean" Obama has been to his political opponents in Illinois - why, he's an official Obama hatchetman. Talbot has tried to paint Palin as a "mean" person through the most flimsy, second-hand hearsay and innuendo, yet he cannot find within himself the journalistic chops to go for real stories of corruption and influence peddling in Obama's Illinois past.

    What about the Annenberg Center, Mr. Talbot? When have you ever looked into that? How about Obama's long and deep ties to felon Tony Rezko? Never heard of it, huh? No big deal? No, his opinion piece of how Sarah Palin was "mean" to someone is news to this hack. Get a real job, loser.
