She Who Must Not Be Named
The New York Times ^ | December 3, 2010 | Charles M. Blow

Posted on 12/04/2010 8:23:44 AM PST by Hotlanta Mike

This is it. This is the last time I’m going to write the name Sarah Palin until she does something truly newsworthy, like declare herself a candidate for the presidency. Until then, I will no longer take part in the left’s obsessive-compulsive fascination with her, which is both unhealthy and counterproductive.

She’s the Zsa Zsa Gabor of American politics. She once did something noteworthy, but she’s now just famous for being famous.

Hey, NYT yellow-journalist...

She was instrumental in changing the power of the House from Dem to Republican by promoting and legitimizing the TEA Party...

...despite every effort of the GOP stack it with RINOs.

If you don’t consider that newsworthy, you are stupid.

Charles who? Sarah won’t miss your fatuous articles about her, but no one will read your articles unless you mention Sarah or Rush Limbaugh. So you are the one with a problem, not Sarah.

And I hope she keeps that same job in 2012.

He gave himself wiggle room, he;ll be writing about her again in two weeks, followed by another column about how he won’t write about her.

Is it time to develop a PDS 12-step Program.

“Hello, my name is Charles, and I am a recovering PDS-ic.”

“Hello, Charles!”

“I stopped getting newspapers, even though I am supposed to be a journalist. I turned off NPR and MSNBC. But then, I was mailed a free sample of the new Newsweek ... I had to look. My Super Ego said ‘No.’ but my Id said “Yes!” ...

True indeed.

Blow also wrote that Palin is about “as sharp as a wet balloon.”

But Palin is no dummy. She is a lot smarter than our affirmative-action socialist president and the blithering idiot that she out-debated in the campaign of 2008,

Gee, high praise indeed from the black Pee Wee Herman.

Would that all leftist nitwits would do the same. None of them have anything of value to say anyhow.

This is great! The emotional well for journalistic attacks on Palin has gone dry. They’ve said all that could be said to ruin her and have failed. In liberal fashion, now we prohibit her mention(by mentioning her).

All I needed to know about this article was that it was written by Blow.

His reputation is that of a black Helen Thomas. Ugly and vitriolic.

This morning I had Larry Kudlow on the radio for a short time. He had Brian Williams on as a guest.

First words out of William’s mouth was a comment about Sarah Palin. I love that Sarah lives in his head too, all the while he’s saying he just reports the news with NO opinion. Ha ha ha ha.......sure.

Near the end of his interview he remarked the Colbert ‘eviscerated’ McCain last week.

Not a biased bone in his body, nosireebob.

I kinda liked the article. It’s not some glowing piece, but I certainly didn’t expect that— coming from The New York Times.

He told the truth, from his side of the fence and in places it made me giggle. There were a few spots where I thought him needlessly nasty. *shrug* It is what it is...

One part I wondered...are they really THAT much in the dark?!

*snip*
““More traffic comes from an item on Sarah Palin’s ‘refudiation’ faux pas than from our hundreds of stories on the complexities of health care reform or Wall Street regulation.” “
*snip*

Uh, when did they EVER write about the complexities of health care reform?! Perhaps I missed it, please correct me if I did.

The most they’ve done is write *shake your pom-poms* crap for the dems, and isn’t Obama the best?!

They were no better than Pelosi “we need to pass healthcare reform to know what’s in it”. There were no articles, that I recall, of critical in depth digging.

Just rah-rah and blind faith fluff, that their team would deliver— like Santa on Christmas eve.

Perhaps if they begin to examine themselves as closely as they do Palin, they may start to earn a dollar again.

As it is, I would pitch a dime in the hat for this article, he’s at least starting to wake up.
