Media Dismisses Finding Exonerating Alaska Governor
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 12 Oct 2008 | John Semmens

Posted on 10/12/2008 10:23:38 AM PDT by John Semmens

An investigation into GOP vice-presidential nominee, Govern Sarah Palin’s firing of Commissioner of Public Safety, Walk Monegan, concluded that “Governor Palin’s firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.”

“This does nothing to diminish the seriousness of the charges,” said CBS News anchor, Katie Couric. “The allegation that she was acting within her constitutional authority is a technicality. The fact remains, a man lost his job due to Ms. Palin’s actions. This raises questions about her sensitivity and judgment.”

Breathtaking in it's audacity and ignorance.

God, I am soooo glad Katie Couric tanked as an anchor.

they dismiss it because it shows more hussein corruption than anything else....it also show that officier wooten should have been canned long ago and that Todd Palin is a stud.

Get in line. I know that it is rude to strike a woman, but an exception must be made for Katie.

“I think there are some problems in this report,” said Republican state Sen. Gary Stevens, a member of the panel. “I would encourage people to be very cautious, to look at this with a jaundiced eye.”

so it the exoneration correct or not?

Has Couric (or anyone else in the MSM, for that matter) ever questioned Obama's judgment for allying himself with an unprepentant terrorist and attending a virulently anti-American black nationalist church for 20 years?

Didn't think so.

The role of the MSM these days is indentical Goebbels' Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

ACORN’s chief Cleveland organizer, Kris Harsh, concurred with Senator Obama’s assessment. “It’s not only illiteracy, some of our workers aren’t good at math either,” Harsh said. “What other explanation could there be for registering the same person ten times? The problem is we don’t have enough funding to hire the most qualified people. We’re confident that this will change when Senator Obama is president. That’s why it is so important that we get as many Obama voters as we can to cast ballots.”

LOL

Well there you go - if Katie Couric said it, it must be UNTRUE! Poor Katie's colon needs cleaning out again cause once again she is full of "$#it".

John: your satire was essentially made predictive today by mainstream news media reports that intentionally buried the lead. Instead of (factually) reporting that the investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing, they loudly reported the Witch Hunter's spin: that Palin "abused her authority", while playing down the fact that her actions were proper and lawful.

Amazing. If she were a Democrat, there would not have even been an investigation, much less any reporting of the story, and liberals (for the most part) don't even bother denying it any more. These are some funny times we live in. Scary, too.

Couric is a moron who believes that the rule of law and Constitutionality are bad things when applied to anyone but liberals.

“Ability to pay shouldn’t trump your need for housing,” he contended. “It’s simple social justice. Those who have the ability to pay, should pay. It’s their patriotic duty. Those whose needs outstrip their ability to pay should be provided for by the government.”

heh. Today's satire... tomorrow's evening news soundbite? [shudder]

Jihad Courses Now Available Online

In a bid to reduce the impact of what it called “premature immartyrations,” the Hamas terrorist organization in Palestine is now offering jihad instruction online.

“When the jihad trainees are all working together in a classroom, one mistake can take out a dozen potential suicide bombers,” complained the school’s headmaster, Ihkil Uhal. “By keeping the trainees offsite we will limit damages. Only the errant student will be at risk. And our precious instructors will be spared.”

Online students are encouraged to use public access computers, preferably ones located inside Israel. An application for funding to purchase laptop computers has been submitted to the UN’s Anti-Zionist Committee.

I don't know how you do it, but this is award winning!

John, you are the master.

It is never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to tweak people who, while they consider themselves informed, aren't really paying attention.

Dammit John. That is just too close to something that Katie Couric would actually say for most people to know that this is satire.

It is satire, isn't it?
