With the NBA playoffs underway, and many basketball fans on C4P, I thought perhaps a little sports analogy might be appropriate right now. Back in the 80s, the “Bad Boy” Detroit Pistons deployed a strategy that came to be known as “The Jordan Rules” on Michael Jordan. During their epic playoff battles, the Pistons hounded "Air Jordan" with a variety of defensive schemes designed to disrupt his rhythm. Sometimes, they'd physically challenge him with bigger players or attempt to sew confusion with rotating double and triple teams. At all times, they would hit him hard whenever he took it to the hole, slowing down the game and generally bottling up the enthusiasm of his eager fans. In short, they tried to intimidate and frustrate him. And The Jordan Rules succeeded – for a time, especially before the Zen Master arrived and Jordan got better teammates. The Pistons won two straight NBA championships, eliminated the Bulls four straight years and delayed Jordan’s efforts to make it to the Finals. But eventually ... well, we all know how that turned out.
And that’s exactly what the “Bad Boys (and Girls)” in the elite media have been trying to do to Sarah Palin with “The Palin Rules.” I’m not talking about legitimate critique of her record or her ideas. Would that there were more of that actually going on. I’m talking about the bizarre scrutiny that follows her every move, most of which the editors here at C4P have documented and countered brilliantly. The traditional media creates ridiculous controversy out of thin air to throw off the talented and popular Palin. It’s a full-court press with more than a few Laimbeer-esque cheap shots. Like Jordan, Sarah will just have to learn to deal with it, and

Sarah, please break whatever relationship you have with the little turncoat ba$tard, John McCain! Whatever indebtedness you actually had toward him, which is doubtful, has been repaid in-full by the yoeman campaigning you have done for him this year.
Enough already! That man can do nothing for you politically. He can only be a political albatross around your neck. If there was ever any doubt, this lastest bill he has co-sponsored in the Senate to deny Constitutional Rights to American Citizens should remove ALL doubt.
An interesting sports analogy with what’s going on.
Stop trying to hijack the thread. Take it to one of the McCain threads, which are lying around so thick around here that you can trip over it.
(((PING)))
This news sickens me.
How old is Nicole Coulter? Ten?
A reward to the creep for turning colors.
