Showing they have no sense of morality, no grasp of corruption and no understanding of what defines a criminal, CNN gives us another one of those ubiquitous year in review stories, this one titled "Politicians who fell from grace in 2008." In this one, CNN has decided to reveal for us their top eight politicians that found 2008 to be a "career-buster" because of their "crimes and misdemeanors" or their outrageous controversies.
CNN features corruption mired Rod Blagojevich, the sex crazed Elliot Spitzer and John Edwards, and the criminal bribe taker Ted Stevens among four others. Each of these men in the CNN list have either been convicted of criminal actions, are indicted for corruption, lost their positions, been drummed out of their party, or are soon to face jail time. Among these eight criminals, however, is a name that doesn't belong among this class of serial abuser of the public trust. It won't be shocking to note that among the worst sex criminals, bribe takers, liars and thieves in politics for 2008, CNN ridiculously included the name of Governor Sarah Palin.
Palin, however, has done nothing remotely like what these other political ner-do-wells have done. She did not take bribes, she did not indulge in sexual dalliances with co-workers or call girls, she did not get booted from her party or lose her job as Governor. She is not under indictment nor does she face jail time, yet CNN includes her in a list with Rob Blagojevich, John Edwards, Kwame Kilpatrick, Larry Langford, Tim Maloney, Elliot Spitzer and Ted Stevens.

Actually she has yet to fall from grace.
It just shows how scared they are of her.
A bunch of liberal pansies who are scared to death of a real woman.
They can’t argue with a real woman so they run around calling her names.
They really are a bunch of wieners.
The Democrats(Criminals, Sex Addicts, and the Corrupt) won and MSM was always on their side. It will get a lot worse.
Oh-kay.
NOW I get it.
Palin is the GOP frontrunner for 2012.
Therefore, her reputation must be destroyed.
She will be besmirched and ridiculed by the lamestream media and the lefties at EVERY opportunity from now until then.
She better figure out how to deal with it. And us conservatives better get used to it.
she scares them, they cant seem to manage to gain control of sarah
C who? N who? N who?
CNN should be the first name on the list.
Ridiculous, and reprehensible.
Thus, par for the course for modern “journalism”.
They need to have her marginalized as soon as possible.
They can't have a conservative that strong in their ranks. It might get the people thinking that the GOP could be deRINOed.
CNN, bankruptcy, bankruptcy, bankruptcy!
Looks like they’ll have to include Bill Richardson in that group of criminals soon.
Mediascum Delenda Est
These Mediascum truly are the enemies of decency, honesty, morality, and humanity. They are scum. Throwing Gov. Palin into this list of miscreants..... gee, does anyone think that the Rump Rangers of CNN are terrified at the prospect of Sarah Palin rising to the very top of the political pyramid?
Given the opportunity, if a lie is conveyed long enough, idiots and then some will soon take it as truth.
CNN knows this and uses it.
They are not called the Commie News Network for nothing. You have to expect this kind of crap from America-hating foreigners.
The media will politically assassinate any GOP contender from here on out. They did it to all the GOP candidates in 2008, and successfully demonized both Bush and Cheney. They have no independence now from the Democratic Party. We must have candidates that can rise above the media. This is the only path to return to power. Charismatic leaders are a must. Those with existing good will with the public or those so skilled they can beat the media at their game. Obama won by a few million voters in a year that did not offer any real advantages to the GOP, so it is doable, but it will be a war.
Not to mention Rahm and "Da Bomb"
No she isn't...She is the front runner of the conservative, patriotic base...And we are not the GOP...
Fact is, the GOP will be the party we will have to beat to get her in,,,to the GOP...
Sarah's first battle will be with the GOP...
The NY Slimes is on the road to bankruptcy. May CNN be next.
