I think that the lib media are suffering a major case of reader/voter fatigue. No one believes them any more.
I don’t know the answer to this but I wonder if Senators - who have residences in Washington as well as their home states - get per diems at one or the other. Or both. Just wondering.
Yesterday it was the "Palin wanted to censor the library" story ... the hideous headline of which also was contradicted by the article.
It'd be funny, were it not so damaging to civil discourse.
They are really angry this time ever since it was discovered her mother was never Jewish, not even during WWII.
Don Graham's head will undoubtedly explode this time..
Someone told me that Biden commutes to Washington every day. I wonder what his expenses look like?
Check out The Corner on National Review for more about this one. Jonah posted an email from me with a link to the Alaska Admin Regs on per diems showing that she followed the policy.
Travel for the purpose of commuting to work is not reimbursible. I'd guess Joe Biden does not get reimbursed ~ or maybe he does. Someone should find out.
BTW, Congress has its own rules ~ it's a separate branch of government and no one there needs to follow the Executive Branch travel rules ~ although, in general, whatever Congress does in this regard will look pretty much like what everybody else does.
Keep on swingin! Let’s get it all out of the way so by the home stretch, the only thing they’ll be able to throw at her is her 70’s hairdo. The Left is Toast.
Well, yes, but the real point is that Obama voters only read the headline, and maybe the first paragraph. After that, their mind is made up, and they turn the page.
That is why they see the ‘facts’ differently than we do.
We actually read the whole thing.
The strange thing is that on the same day they ran an editorial crediting her for negotiating the new gas pipeline. It seems like the WSJ, where newsroom and editorial board maintain distance. I often can read the WP editorials, but seldom the NYT.
OK. the first two paragraphs.
They skip the rest of the article, because it contains details which brings up things like facts, and proof, which is stupid stuff that only members of the VRWC care about, or believe.
The problem is, as the main stream media reports this bunk often enough, it becomes the “truth” in the mind of the public.
They were far worse on Reagan, and Reagan did not have FreeRepublic and Rush Limbaugh and the blogosphere to set the record straight.
Story over!
Precisely ... and as a result the WaPo and the rest of the MSM are doing tremendous damage to civil discourse in the US.
If they had moved the state capital to Talkeetna, as there was talk of doing years ago, then she would have a short commute and wouldn’t have to keep flying to Juneau.
Comprehending a state as large as Ak.,,,or W.Va is over the posts’ pay grade. Stick a sock in it wapo.
Shhhhhhhh, don’t say anything, but if the media really wants to help Obama win, they are going to have to go back to their old playbook and cover his every move 24/7 with a multitude of reporters and cameras like they did on his trip to Europe. They need to recapture that rock star image that he is loosing. But thankfully instead they have been distracted by Governor Palin and are fully focused on looking for loose threads in her tapestry, digging for anything in her past or present they can use against her, and while they are looking away from Obama, his rock star image fades into nothingness quicker than Milli Vanilli.
