WASHINGTON - As expected, a blue ribbon panel from the Ifill Center for Media Ethics cleared award-winning political journalist Gwen Ifill of all charge today, ending a lengthy 20 minute investigation into “ethics” charges that most observers believe were motivated by politics and racism. Ifill, like dynamic groundbreaking President-in-Waiting Barack Obama, is Black. The complete exoneration clears the way for Ifill to moderate the Vice Presidential debate tonight between respected Senate veteran Joe Biden and former beauty pageant loser Sarah Palin.

“I would like to thank Ms.Ifill for her complete cooperation into this unnecessary politically-motivated witch hunt,” said Commission Chairperson Gwen Ifill. “On behalf of the entire panel, I would like to offer my sincere apologies for dragging her in and wasting her valuable time on the basis of such obviously flimsy and bogus allegations.”

Displaying her famous grace, Ifill said she harbored no ill will toward the inquiry.

Most observers believe the opposition was racially motivated. That would be the tag line if Obama were to win. And he won’t, so we will be spared that nonsense.

Why does the government fund public television?

And radio?

And why does the government license TV airwaves to three networks when there are now several hundred cable and satellite channels?

That’s pathetic!”Racism and Politics”! Oh my...!
Those dems are pathetics and should be easy to beat if they had not the huge support of big MSM and big Croocks(insane businessmen-women,Hollywoodian clowns...)and if they didn’t lie quasi naturally...

Sometimes i nearly like them as they are such jokes

Of course she probably has given all her questions to the Obama camp.

Sales of her book are directly hinged to Obama winning. No one will buy the book if Obama loses.

What a crock!!!!!

I wonder if Gwennie will get snippy if her pain meds start wearing off.

Biden: “You know Gwen, you’d have all the pain meds you’d need under an Obama administration.....”

This is BS-
Letting a black Obama supporter and pro-Obama book author have control of the one and only vice presidential debate??
She stands to make $350 thousand dollars MINUMUM on her book if Obama wins the election. I’d say there’s just a bit of conflict of interest here.

McCain/Repubs said they didn’t know about her and her book. Give me a break!
HOW could they not know?
McCain said today he was confident Ifill would be fair and impartial. Yeah, right.

Here’s the e-mail address of Janet H. Brown, Executive Director of the Debates Commission:
(FREEP HER OUT! FREEP HER OUT WITH PROTESTS. DEMAND IFILL BE REPLACED. It may be too late to change the moderator, but we can let her/them know how we feel. We can raise h*ll!)

“I noticed that Gwen is in a wheelchair. Does anyone know why?”

She slipped in a puddle of her own slobber when she interviewed “The One” the other day.

Where can I get my Bob Dole 2008 t-shirt? McCain/Palin need to surprise me, starting this evening. Thus far, McCain has been very cordial to everyone who takes a massive swipe at Sarah and himself. Enough is enough.

Is it time for a ....time out? Good grief. Grow some BALLS!

She Lied about her lack of financial conflict.

She no doubt lied about her “ankle” to fake ‘victimhood’.
