    I am just DYING to say something snide and nasty about this guy and Dmes in general, but in the spirit of “change” I will hold my tongue.

    Well, for each democrat who does something slimy or breathtakingly stupid, there is a republican out there pretty much doing the same so engaging in a tit-for-tat is a waste of time.

    I tend to agree with you about “bad” being on both sides. Hence my “reform”. I did refrain from taking a “cheap shot”, didn’t I?

    That said, I find it hard to overlook the following:

    I remember the NAACP just last year regarding anything of this type:

    Where is the NAACP? Where is Jesse? Where is Al?

    The NYT was positively apoplectic about such representations and the folks in Florida wanted an investigation and prosecution. Is it a “hate crime”?

    But do you think this will make it “above the fold”? Will the MSM even mention it? After all, it is only about Palin, and attacks on Palin are “A-OK” in the media and on many weblogs.

    There is growing news about improper fund-raising by the Obama campaign. First we heard this:

    The Palin mannaquin is absolutely wrong to the point where I don’t feel I even have to answer to it. I have never said that Palin should be the target of grossly sexist taunts or totally appalling caricatures like what was depicted in your link. I have repeatedly said that Palin, like everyone else, is fair game with respect to her policy views and statements, how she presents them, her record etc.

    Mahoney is not the only “jerk”.

    Ouch.

    The HuffingtonPost is in mourning.
