Roger Abramson reared his head like Putin over Alaska this past Friday and relegated Sarah Palin to a Cabinet position:

According to the latest meme going around Right Blogistan, if Palin does poorly in the debate Thursday night, it won’t be because she doesn’t know what the [bleep] she’s talking about, but because moderator Gwen Ifill is unfarily biased against her.

Rep. David Bonior thinks he knows –  and that’s what scares him:

Ben Smith remarks on how citizen opposition researchers seem to be far more motivated to find dirt on women and minority political candidates:

I dislike the parts of the news cycle which exploit the personal failings of others. There are times when, reluctantly, I concede they may be relevant. I intentionally stayed away from the John Edwards adultery story, for example. But I admit his behavior, had it been known, would likely have derailed his candidacy. Which would likely have changed the Democratic primary.

Kleinheider doesn't think that we on the Left should point out the hypocrisy of the "abstinence-only" Sarah Palin having a pregnant 17-year old daughter, because, you see, it's not really hypocrisy.

Remember when Bill Frist made comments as to Terry Schiavo’s mental capacity after examining a video for an hour?

My, how things change.
