Hypocrisy
From the blog of an 82 year old grandmother : Sarah Palin is "a stupid, conniving bitch"

My newest shero is Margaret Philpot for having the courage to write, Sarah Palin is a Bitch… there I said it.:

On political authenticity
The quality of being genuine is hard to convey, and deciding who should be president based solely on that basis can lead to disaster; you need brains and an ability to go with the flow as well. But voters know a phony above all and Romney came off as one from the get-go. Over the last decade he had changed his views in a rightward direction on so many issues to suit what he thought he needed to win the GOP nomination that he ended up standing for nothing but his own ambition.
[...]
It's no accident that the GOP race is down to three men who are clear about who they are: McCain, Huckabee and, yes, Ron Paul.

A Taste of Mittocrisy

DEAR MISTER ROMNEY, I really appreciate your steadfast commitment to your faith. I've heard people choose these types of ideologies because it grounds a person in morality and integrity and human values. And of course I can admire that. With all the hate- and fear-mongering filling the public square today, I welcome men of your caliber.
I only have a small question. Given that a central tenet of Mormonism is that the Indians of the Americas are descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel, how do you reconcile your current anti-immigrant stance with the fact that Mexicans are descended, too, from these same people? How do your actions fit into the theological framework now that you are the one trying to stop them from wandering?

Poor little Hillary
Hillary Clinton is upset about the 'pile on' that happened to her on the MSNBC debate this past Tuesday. The issue seems to be serious enough to her campaign that discussions about it still have it on focus over at memeorandum. I can't say I feel sorry for her. If she can't deal with her Democratic Party adversaries, how is she going to deal with a wacko like Giuliani or a snake like Romney if she gets the nomination? Her complaint is full of FAIL. See also PSOTD on why she can't triangulate herself out of this one.

Could Ted Haggard be Larry Craig's Knight in Shining, but "Completely heterosexual," Armor?
Dear Senator Craig,
Congratulations! Yesterday, a Minnesota court granted your request to withdraw your guilty plea! But I'm still worried about you. At first I was sure you were straight as an arrow, framed by those determined to silence the Singing Senators, the quartet that sings truth to power whose reunion concert curiously took place a night after the sex sting. But then as the Republicans turned on you, doubt started to creep into my faith in your heterosexuality. And your recent behavior, pleading guilty and then withdrawing your plea, resigning and then reconsidering, suggests a strong bi-curious tendency that worries me.
But it's not too late to get your life back on track! You can't do it alone, though, and I think I know just the person to help you.

When Michael Rogers outs guys like Larry Craig, he's always right
I remember when Michael outed Larry Craig. This is the guy that has been having trysts with rent boys in the bathrooms of Union Square station. Oh, and he's one of the guys named in the 1980s rent boys and drugs scandals that involved a certain Roger Stone (whom The Daily Gotham brought down in another scandal) and allegedly George W. Bush.
Who said bloggers can't do investigative reporting?

Adventures in Liberal Hypocrisy

So Latinos (along with Asians, Native Americans and other 'minorities') are the real ghosts in the media machine. Not that I needed Media Matters to tell me that :
The nearly complete absence of Latinos from the cable shows' guest lists is particularly notable. In 2004, the U.S. Census estimated that Hispanics made up 14 percent of the American population; given patterns of population growth, that number is undoubtedly higher today. Yet Hispanics made up less than 2 percent of the guests on these programs during these three weeks. In fact, this number represents a total of only 13 guest appearances, six of which were by Geraldo Rivera.
No better, by the way, for Asians, Native Americans and other 'minorities'.
The problem with the MSM's corrections to these problems is to get a neo-nazi Speedy Gonzalez look-a-like to be the talking 'cabeza' du jour.
Or, even better --they do as Media Matters and hire just one guy with a latino-sounding name.

Premarital Sex : Don't leave home without it

The internets were atwitter yesterday with this revelation:
Reality check: 95 percent of Americans had premarital sex - CNN.com:
Finer said the likelihood of Americans having sex before marriage has remained stable since the 1950s, though people now wait longer to get married and thus are sexually active as singles for extensive periods.The study found women virtually as likely as men to engage in premarital sex, even those born decades ago. Among women born between 1950 and 1978, at least 91 percent had had premarital sex by age 30, he said, while among those born in the 1940s, 88 percent had done so by age 44.
"The data clearly show that the majority of older teens and adults have already had sex before marriage, which calls into question the federal government's funding of abstinence-only-until-marriage programs for 12- to 29-year-olds," Finer said.Under the Bush administration, such programs have received hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding."It would be more effective," Finer said, "to provide young people with the skills and information they need to be safe once they become sexually active -- which nearly everyone eventually will."
