Tweety & Lurch reporting on $arah palin!
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about the Sarah Palin phenomenon. We can only judge these things fairly like a month at a time. This book's big-time. This promotion -- I've never seen anything like it, David.

DAVID GREGORY: It's extraordinary, and, I mean, she's extraordinary from that point of view of not just the book. I mean, all this year, it's as if she's like a senator or something. I mean, she issues statements and posts things on Facebook as if she's an incumbent or if she's a candidate for something.

MATTHEWS: She's got a position on the health care bill.

"Got that? Palin "posts things on Facebook" and it's "as if she's like a senator or something." Yeah, "or something": There are about 300 million people who post things on Facebook. Posting things on Facebook doesn't mean you're behaving like a senator; it means you're behaving like someone who has a pulse and an Internet connection. But David Gregory finds it extraordinary and senatorial that Sarah Palin does so. And Chris Matthews is blown away that Palin has a position on health care reform."

1. Could david gregory be anymore of a fooking tool?
They talk like she does.

And gregory never has anything nice to say about President Obama but is drooling over palin like she has a brain and doesn't lie her gawd damn head off.

"The Odd Lies of sarah palin" by Andrew Sullivan

<snip>

"After you have read these, ask yourself: what wouldn't Sarah Palin lie about if she felt she had to?

Palin lied when she said the dismissal of her public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, had nothing to do with his refusal to fire state trooper Mike Wooten; in fact, the Branchflower Report concluded that she repeatedly abused her power when dealing with both men.

Palin lied when she repeatedly claimed to have said, "Thanks, but no thanks" to the Bridge to Nowhere; in fact, she openly campaigned for the federal project when running for governor.

Palin lied when she denied that Wasilla's police chief and librarian had been fired; in fact, both were given letters of termination the previous day.

Palin lied when she wrote in the NYT that a comprehensive review by Alaska wildlife officials showed that polar bears were not endangered; in fact, email correspondence between those scientists showed the opposite.

Palin lied when she claimed in her convention speech that an oil gas pipeline "began" under her guidance; in fact, the pipeline was years from breaking ground, if at all.

Palin lied when she told Charlie Gibson that she does not pass judgment on gay people; in fact, she opposes all rights between gay spouses and belongs to a church that promotes conversion therapy.

Palin lied when she denied having said that humans do not contribute to climate change; in fact, she had previously proclaimed that human activity was not to blame.

Palin lied when she claimed that Alaska produces 20 percent of the country's domestic energy supply; in fact, the actual figures, based on any interpretation of her words, are much, much lower.

Palin lied when she told voters she improvised her convention speech when her teleprompter stopped working properly; in fact, all reports showed that the machine had functioned perfectly and that her speech had closely followed the script.

Palin lied when she recalled asking her daughters to vote on whether she should accept the VP offer; in fact, her story contradicts details given by her husband, the McCain campaign, and even Palin herself. (She later added another version."

OF WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAYS!"

3. ugh
I remember Gregory gushing about how Sarah Palin was a "rock star" and how he thought it was "cool" that she took a plane in labor, when she was announced as VP candidate . He was trying so hard to make it a game changer for gramps.
