Things Could be Worse: It Could be President McCain in 12 days
Shouldn't we be counting our blessings right about now, and for longer than it takes to say the words "bankruptcy" or "foreclosure"?

Well, it could've been worse. As 2008 mercifully ends, we're left to ponder a year in which the real and the surreal were pretty much indistinguishable, where insanity actually became tedium.
We can easily find more than a few quotes from the year of political and cable news hackery that were almost totally overlooked, along with too many hacks, hoopleheads and outright doofs who weren't given a full turn at the flogging pole.
The web changed forever the moment that Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at President Bush. Or at least it changed for two or three days as the animated gifs and games flooded the Internet.
Guess the media reporting the truth that Levi was a dropout did in fact "harm" his chance for "good work opportunities," in Palin's spin-filled world.
For me, a WTF moment can be either good or bad, but has to be in some sense a little bit unbelievable, as in "You can't write this stuff." So behold -- my first annual list of WTF moments.
Sarah Palin spent the last day of the year emailing the Associated Press and the Anchorage Daily News and calling People magazine to counter the impression that Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are high school drop-outs.
If you watched the Palin interview and weren't scared out of your mind, then you're mentally ill. What you are not is responsible, informed, thoughtful, mature, educated, empathetic, or remotely serious.
Like a restricted country club that would rather die than change, the Republican Party is marginalizing itself for the sake of the white men who run it.
By now you have surely heard of Sarah Palin. If it wasn't because of her reproductive escapades or her daughter Bristol's, then maybe you heard her n...
Noonan's "clueless class" slur is a boomerang. It is Noonan, class or not, who is clueless. The clue that Caroline radiates is precisely what she said when she endorsed Barack.
There is something very ugly happening out there in the hinterlands these days--a brewing cauldron of racist anger being directed at President-elect Barack Obama.
In a story about potential vice presidential picks, the AP referred to Joe Lieberman as "the Democratic vice presidential prick in 2000."
What's with the media coverage of Sarah Palin's grandkid, and is Palin the new Paris Hilton? Is that an improvement?
I'm not saying that getting laid is the agenda at every political event. But when everybody's drunk on America, there's a good chance to engage salaciously with legislators or the fit security staff.

Conservatives love whining about the media. That never gets anyone elected, though.
class war???? uh boy (in my best Fred Flintstone voice), she truly is delusional. How you are preceived in the media is how you conduct yourself. You failed Ms. Palin.
Is that bias based on educated class and ignorant class or regular class and special ed class?
If Palin did not sound like a tarilor park hooker pretending to be a High-class call girl then maybe she would not be a joke. Kennedy may have some speech imperfections with one too many "y'know" but the substance of her message is still light years beyond anything palin would have to offer even if she could care for more than her appearance
If you want too distract Palin all you have to do is wave a mirror in front of her..
".............she doesn't even know what she doesn't know"
Oh thank you! I've been saying this for months.
It is truly sad when you are too ignorant to realize just how utterly ignorant you are. Sarah Palin is a sad, sad case.
Her minions claim that she is smart because she is the governor of "Aleeeska". To the sheeple I say, of course you can be whatever you want up in "Aleeska", but let her attempt to run for the president of just a PTA in the lower 48 and see if she doesn't get laughed off the stage.
