The NYT slamming an anti-Palin book??? A week after giving her a ‘somewhat’ positive review of her speech? Hmm, any ulterior motives? Maybe, maybe not.

Actually, in some ways Palin has been treated ‘ever-so-slightly’ better in certain elite liberal media quarters since those E-mails were released. That was such a grotesque, embarrassing frenzy, and the media just KNEW the e-mails would be full of horrid, petty stuff to pound her with. But when they read them, they were deflated, discovering she was actually an exceptionally honest and conscientious leader, going out of her way for transparency and clean government. I think it left them a bit addled, somehow learning that she was not at all the vile cartoon they had long framed her as, and thus, expected her to be. They were really that immersed in the false cartoon/caracature.

Needless to say, they will still always despise her for a whole variety of reasons, but I think the e-mails really knocked them off their feet a bit.

Meh, the Times and the leftist mainstream media never opposed her for any legitimate reasons. The emails didn't impress them. The Reagan dairies and writings that were released clearly showed he was brilliant but didn't move the needle for these people, they still think Reagan was stupid.

Palin hate is just getting old. It's not interesting anymore. Palin's negatives are high, they don't think she is running, and feel liberated to say something marginally nice about her because they don't feel as threatened and it's a good excuse to prove they are fair.

It's all BS. If Palin actually ran for President and looked like she could be competitive, the likes of the NY Times would go right back to savaging her. As is, they just don't worry about her as much right now.

The Slimes is circling the porcelain God and they are trying pull themselves back from the brink of irrelevancy?

Are they figuring out their support for the empty suit was the biggest mistake of their entire existence?

Hmmm....

I won’t hold my breath.
