PBS's Mark Shields on Friday said Sarah Palin's decision to resign as the governor of Alaska is "like Ted Kennedy's Chappaquiddick."

This astonishingly came moments after he called Nancy Pelosi the most effective House Speaker in his lifetime

Mark Shields is like ......[fill in the blank]

[Brett66]

So she’ll be a senator for decades no matter how badly she behaves?

[xzins]

Mark Shields is a shill, so his comments must be taken in light of his political agenda.

[Grampa Dave]

Bless Shields and other far left mediots like him.

Bless Pelosi, the gift that keeps on giving to our side!

[wontbackdown]

It just goes to show that liberals can get away with murder - literally!

Is Idiot Maxi Shields working with Tokyo Rove on a Palin disinformation campaign?

[sasquatch]

pssst, Mark...Prop 19 failed.

[dps.inspect]

Mark “Maxi” Shields, you slobgobler... now you invoke the drunken, lascivious, murderous Ted Kennedy, whom you have at all times in the past revered, and try to smear Palin with his likeness... you're as foul as the air between filthy chair cushion and your ass. When in the past have you ever spoke of Chappaquiddick in any way that might be hurtful to the late Teddy's political aspirations... and now, NOW, you use it to try to smear Palin? Slobgobler!!

[NonValueAdded]

Mark “panty” Shields equates Palin being hounded out of office by a limitless horizon of bogus ethics claims with Ted Kennedy’s murder of a campaign worker??? What a freaking idiot!!!

[Let's Roll]

Aside from the facts that no one died and she didn’t wear a neck brace when she resigned, she has been totally ineffective and without influence since she resigned, right?

If that were true, we wouldn’t be treated to these constant anti Palin screeds now, would we?

[Lockbox]

Gee Mark if Palin Quitting As Governor means she is unfit to run for higher office and it is like Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick, then why did you never say that Ted was unfit for higher office after Chappaquiddick?

[ez]

They’re very upset that she resigned the Governorship. They never dreamed whe would give up power and dodge their attacks. Instead she moved to a place where they cold no longer use the courts against her...private citizen.

[Leto]

The elites don’t get it. Most people have forgotten she resigned. Rove thinks the seriers she is doing will hurt her.

The series will help her connect with the American people. Rove doesn’t get it at all.

[dhs12345]

How nice to diminish the death and possible murder of a woman by making a stupid statement like this one.

[ClearCase_guy]

Working at PBS is like serving as a guard as Auschwitz.

Oh. Did I go too far?

[Truth is a Weapon]

What is wrong with America? At one time someone who uttered such nonsense would have been shunned and ignored. How can enough people listen to this guy and allow him any revelence whatsoever? What has happened to our moral compass?

[Redbob]

"To a Democrat giving up power is worse then death."

Worse than one of their minions' death anyway...

[Logical me]

Palin resigned because of the constant liberal legal attacks and it was costing her time and finances. It was burden to her office and a cost to the Alaskan Government. She knew her replacement had the same values as she did. One hell of a lot of difference than a killer.

[basil]

Not withstanding all that’s wrong with maxi-shields, IMHO, the best part of the web site is “News Busted” which I look forward to each week!

[Redbob]

"Shields is just continuing the new journolista meme of the week that she's "unelectable". There are at least a dozen articles posted with this new line in the last couple of days."

This shows how much they fear her, and that they recognize just how "electable" she is.
