Waiting for Newsweaks Obit

Newsweek Editor Jon Meachem

Eagerly Anticipating the SNAP!

I've more compassion for a four legged rat's involuntary twitching, after the trap's broken it's neck, than I do for Newsweek in its death throes.  Which I savor.  A lot. Here's a spasm from this week's 12 page edition: Sarah Palin's Most Controversial Tweets (I'm not making this up) Ready, Aim, Fire?! 'Extreme Greenies' Boycott Copenhagen 'Rahm, You Lie!' A Straight Scoop A 'Ravished' Coast Sue the Internet! I know what you're saying: "But, Rodge, just give us an example so we don't have to read that rag!" Okay, Ready Aim, Fire's, controversy? “ On March 23, 2010, Palin referred to the passage of health-care reform via Twitter: "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: 'Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!'" Some critics said she was inciting violence, especially since the tweet followed Palin's "target list" of Democrats she hoped would be defeated in the November elections. The liberal uproar became so intense that her former running mate, Senator John McCain came, to her defense. ” Which, so far, has elicited but one comment.  One.      So Sarah is as lame, and devoted to pandering to the droolers as she is in every other way ...    'Excite' that 'base' Sarah! That's all you're good for, and why there is no R who gives you the slightest chance of ever being President. In fact, I think every thinking R is terrified that you would win the nomination because they know there aren't enough droolers out there to elect you.    Pray for Palin in 2012!      Uh ... poignant.  Another trait shared by affiliates of the Democrat Party Media Complex is the total lack of the senses shame and irony.  Like here, in this Newsweak expose: “ Kirk Accused of Exaggerating His Teaching Record Mark Kirk, the Republican contender for Barack Obama's former Illinois Senate seat, had previously misrepresented his military service in the course of campaigning. Now his oft-recalled time as a teacher is being questioned too. More › The Irony:   Sweet: Obama did NOT "hold the title" of a University of Chicago law school professor.
