Investigating Everything Sarah Palin

The media is in a frenzy, there's got to be something they've missed about Gov. Sarah Palin--something big enough to sink her campaign. So they are looking into every little detail to discern if she did anything remotely scandalous--the bar has been lowered dramatically on what is considered scandalous for her by the way--or unethical.

Let's use the Washington Post as exhibit A:

One of the compelling anecdotes about Sarah Palin is that she auctioned off the Alaska governor's jet on eBay after taking office -- a swift move made by a reformer hoping to clean up the excesses of her predecessor.

But in fact, the jet did not sell on eBay. It was sold to a businessman from Valdez named Larry Reynolds, who paid $2.1 million for the jet, shy of the original $2.7 million purchase price, according to contemporaneous news reports, including a story in the New York Times.

The fact that Palin didn't say she sold it on E-Bay doesn't matter, this is a mission to make her look bad at all costs and the fact that she may have alluded that it was sold on E-Bay is enough for a full story. For the record, she said "I put it on E-Bay," which is true 100%.

While the Rezko scandal, William Ayers and other shady Obama deals are out there awaiting investigation; instead they are parsing the words of a woman who has captivated the nation and putting resources into a non-story like this.

It's way past the point of partisanship, the MSM is into misogyny territory at this point. They are gleefully joined on the ride by self-described feminists who are shedding all pretense that they give a damn about women who don't share their narrow worldview.

The once proud media in the US is officially dead.

Update: Politico is in on the Get Sarah Palin parade. They talk of her tendency to give those she disadrees with the "cold shoulder." I guess Obama tossing Rev. Wright, his grandmother, Father Pflegel and myriad others under the bus in a clear case of political expediency is not as bad as ignoring someone. You've got to be kidding me.

This is going to backfire in a big way, Americans are now paying attention and if McCain continues to hammer the media bias angle, he and Palin may have the backing to pull this off. Plus the added bonus of the media bias motivating the GOP base like we haven't been in years.

I'm hoping for a return of the PEST epidemic in a big way in early November. I imagine this time it will about a million times as bad since it involves the hillbilly, non-aborting, gun toting, caribou dressing, salmon catching red neck from Wasilla (did I ever tell you Wasilla only has 7,000 people?)

Update: Us vs. Them...It's on! This election will polarize the country more than any we've seen in years, including Bush/Gore. The west coast and Northeast will go hard for Obama while the rest of the country outsuide of urban areas will go McCain/Palin. Pennsylvania, Florida and Ohio will be the battlegrounds.
