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.

The Democrats have abandoned normal people. If you don’t have a hypenated or “ism” added to your description, then the Democratic Party is for you.
Sometimes I wish we got angry like yoots. CNN would really have something to report about!
CNN paid Saddam and his ministry of information for exclusive access to Iraq while he was busy murdering his people. CNN of course could not report this as they would lose their exclusive access.
Tell me again what qualifies CNN to pass judgment on anyone for corruption?

A happy, well adjusted, married American mother.
And a damned good looking babe to boot!!!
She's too good for Obama’s “nation”

With all due respect, you are mistaken. I don't think there are words in the English language to describe how keenly the Democrats want Palin as the Republican candidate in 2012.
And I read Playboy for the articles. :)
And a damned good looking babe to boot!!!
Comment #1 creates comment #2, don't you think?
I sure do!
Sorry
Correction:
If you have a hypenated or ism added to your description, then the Democratic Party is for you.
I think that would be great; it would be ideal. Unfortunately, for someone to pull that off, they would need to be a master communicator.
When I watched the Palin/Couric interview, there were multiple opportunities that Palin missed to paint Couric as a shill for the Dems. But, she missed them - she was like a deer caught in the headlights.
If you a Republican at the national level and you don't understand that every interview you do will be hostile, then you ARE and idiot.
We need someone like Giuliani (not Guiliani himself). RG was a spectacular mouthpiece for the Republican party after the convention. Why? Because, as a lifelong prosecutor expected the unexpected and could turn tough questions around and score points against the interviewer and the opposition. He was masterful. I should add, Romney wasn't bad either - and I wasn't a Romney supporter.
Palin's a nice lady with a compelling back story. She also appears to be a successful state CEO and I'm glad she's a conservative but she just doesn't have the intellectual horsepower to compete on the national stage. If you can't beat Katie freakin Couric in the interview game, you just don't have what it takes. Sorry!
What newspaper is that?
That's a new one to me. /snicker
They fear Sarah like the Devil fears Holy Water!!!
No, not when spouting stupidity. Even Goebbels was not stupid. Goebbelization is when the MEDIA, rather than reporting neutral truths, decides instead to produce propaganda with the goal of shaping and OWNING public opinion.
You were right on with your comparison. In Nazi Germany it was the media (pwned by Goebbels) that got average Germans to believe the Jews were the root of all their problems and needed to be exterminated. Controlling the press is the most important thing to do in order to mold a country to someone’s will and annihilate freedom.
Shiite happens my FRiend. ; )
CNN works for the UnAmerican Democrat Party...as do the rest of the press.
Of course they will work to define perceptions.
And conservatives picking Harvard grads who don't drop their g's, will do nothing to change that fact.
Just watch a Senate Judicial Hearing, and see how our "smart and articulate" nominees have their reputations and careers destroyed.
Do not choose candidates to satisfy the MSM....it's like battered woman syndrome....you will never do enough to stem their wrath.
And then there was the second amendment....
Gibberish. They want another old RINO they can easily beat.
To clear up your definition, it’s not “some” it’s “most” voters are stupid. I would venture to say that over 50% of the registered voters in this or any other state don’t have the intelligence to vote let alone figure out who is lying and about what. Intellectual laziness and lack of education are the cornerstones of the “democrat” platform.
The GOP will act outraged, but secretly be glad.
The DC GOP is every bit the globalist "conspiracy" as the rest of the elitist DC crowd. Has not GWB proved it? Has not John McCain proved it? Have not the US Senators (except for a few) proved it?
Sarah Palin is an outsider threat to that cabal. A terrible terrible threat to the Oligarchy.
The United States could easily be, geographically, recourcefully, and energetically, a society that could tell, not in an isolationist manner but in an independent manner, the rest of the world to screw itself. And Sarah Palin knows it. They HATE her.
A leader is not one who falls into the abyss of world populism and mediocrity, but one who has the courage to break away from that, into the creative path of independence. The United States was once that.
Jay Rockefeller and the CFR are elitist scum. Cultivated methinks by the arrogant jerks of the Ivy League.
This of course is the agenda of Anthropogenic Global Warming.
You heard it from the Suntrade Institute.
