We have the New York Times attempting to slime John McCain with completely unsubstantiated allegations that he had an affair with a lobbyist on its front page as soon as he got the nomination, after they endorsed him. They have complete editorial control over what goes into their paper.
And that’s just fine, right?
We have Andrew Sullivan writing at the Atlantic, ostensibly a prestegious publication, that Trig is not Sarah Palin’s daughter...still, to this day, and they have editorial control.
There is lots more, of course.
This is a message board, fgs. People can say what they want, even people who come here specifically to create controversy. Remember MD4Bush?
Don’t forget Sally Quinn, the DC doyenne and lib hostess, married to WashPost former editor and her then married boss, Ben Bradlee, whom she landed.
**And so, Ben landed Sally, soon followed by his divorce from then-wife Toni. Although perhaps apocryphal, the story goes like this: she was looking for a job and walked into the Washington Post one day to apply for a party reporter position. He was smitten. She told him one salient detail; she had never written a story before.“Nobody’s perfect,” he barked.**

Her latest article is so patronizing and insulting:
Palin’s Peculiar Family Values
http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/sally_quinn/2009/07/palins_peculiar_family_values.html
Her WashPost column is called “On Faith.” Funny .. she’s not religious, never has been mentioned in any way with faith in God.
And as if she’s the paragon of virtue and morality.

“As a Washington Post writer, she helped set the standard for tough profiles in the Post’s Style section in the 1970s. She also married her boss, Ben Bradlee, then the Post’s executive editor.
Quinn and Bradlee hosted boozy, elegant dinner parties at their Georgetown home; Quinn wrote novels and a book about being a hostess. She picked a fight with Hillary Rodham Clinton when the latter was First Lady and deemed the Clintons not fit for the Washington social scene.
But she never found religion.
“I’ve been an atheist all my life,” she says. “Jon convinced me not to use that word. He said I was defining myself negatively.
“So I don’t call myself anything,” she says. “A seeker, perhaps.”
Quinn was casting about for her next move when she sought guidance from a higher authority.
“I had been interested for a couple of years in religion and how it affects policy,” she says. “I was thinking of writing a book about religion in Washington.”
Why not religion online? “I described my idea to Don Graham,” Quinn says. “He thought it was a great idea.”
She then told Graham: “I don’t know anything about religion.”
****
She just put her finger in the wind, and decided it had cachet and currency .. it’s just a means to her self-invested ends and a way to keep her face and ego out there.

If any of you saw Sally’s disingenuous and condescending take on Sarah’s resignation with Laura Ingraham on BOR’s show, it’s easy to get big picture of the libs’ purposeful convergence of attacks on their enemies, she being one of their biggest. Of course, Cheney’s also on the front burner as well.
The Bradlee’s have a special needs son, who contributes for The Daily Beast.
He was born with Velo-Cardio-Facial syndrome, which is characterized by cleft palate, heart abnormalities, learning disabilities, and over 180 other clinical findings.
Among other reasons, she’s also focusing on this to presume to dictate to Palin what she should be doing due to Trig and her family situations, and inferring she’s a bad mother if she doesn’t.

From Newsbusters:
“Appearing on MSNBC Thursday afternoon, Washington Post writer and founder of the paper’s On Faith blog, Sally Quinn, exclaimed of Sarah Palin: “Well, clearly, she has not put her family first...And these children have, it seems publicly, to have been exploited by her in a, I think, really unfortunate way.
Even anchor David Shuster, who on Wednesday declared that Palin had “no future” politically, questioned Quinn’s accusation: “Sally, the use of the word ‘exploited’ is pretty strong. Give us some specific examples that you think qualifies for that?” Quinn was happy to elaborate:
“Well, you know, she brings them all to the convention, including Trig, the baby. She brings the pregnant daughter with the boyfriend who clearly didn’t want to be there. She then travels around with the children, using them as sort of photo ops... she brings the children up when she needs them to shore up her own image.”
Quinn even seemed to blame Palin for defending her family against David Letterman’s attacks: “It just seemed to me that the David Letterman situation where she whipped that up into a huge scene, bringing in her other daughter Willow and making a big – a big to-do about it when she could have just let it go.”
