In announcing that she was stepping down as Alaska Governor on Friday, Sarah Palin noted the unrelenting hostility of liberal media elites. In the barely ten months since she burst onto the national scene, Palin has been scorned and mocked by journalists -- including many supposedly objective reporters -- like few other politicians. Here are a few of the choicer attacks, as compiled from MRC's Notable...

I don't like it when nobody could've predicted rhetoric starts emanating from our side either. But, seriously, if they really believe the stimulus was based on a too optimistic reading of the economy they should be pushing for more stimulus yesterday. It takes time, as Biden himself makes clear.

The Publisher and CEO of The Washington Post addresses us dear readers: I want to apologize for a planned new venture that went off track and for any cause we may have given you to doubt our independence and integrity. A flier distributed last week suggested that we were selling access to power brokers in Washington through dinners that were to take place at my home. The flier was not approved by me...

Remember that Rolling Stone piece about Goldman Sachs I mentioned the other day? Here's another post from Matt Taibbi that should raise serious concerns about the stranglehold the company has on the economic markets: "In a move set to infuriate and send many Zero Hedge readers over the top, the NYSE has taken action to make sure that nobody will henceforth be able to keep track of the complete dominance...

Yes, yes, Palin is crazy. I'm hearing it and hearing it, and naturally, my working theory is that Palin's opponents are taking advantage of the opportunity to paint a vivid picture in the public mind. Crazy, crazy, cah- ray-zeee ee. Dowd does the diagnosis, plucking a term out of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or rather plucking a term out of Todd Purdum's Vanity Fair hit-piece:...

Biden Time by digby Is it just me or were Joe Biden's comments on Stephanpoulos this morning somewhat ... uhm ... startling? Plunging squarely into one of the most sensitive issues in the Middle East, Vice President Joseph R.

There's a lot of video coming but this should tide you over for a bit. I don't follow her logic at the beginning here: Essentially, she says that once you're a lame duck, the responsible thing to do is to get out of the way rather than go around ...

His sincerity's obvious from the tremor in his voice, which I take as fairly compelling evidence that she's really not running for president. If she was and this was merely the start of an exciting new chapter, he wouldn't sound so shaken, would he? Even so, he does ...
