Palin gets a pass from MSM?! Blindness or Idiocy?

Roger Cohen of The Washington Post has gone way beyond Obama Kool-aid. He's been guzzling the genuine Jim Jones Fake Messiah Juice.

The headline of his latest column is a coffee spitter, so if you're reading this with a mouthful, swallow now. Ready? Media Gives Palin a Pass

Seriously. What universe does this blind, deluded idiot live in? Packs of media, wolves and lawyers (same crowd) have been sifting the weeds in Alaska since McCain picked Sarah Palin as his VP lo many weeks ago, breathlessly blabbing any insane dribbling from the leftwing nutroots as if it was exhaustively fact-checked truth and telling us all this successful wife, mother and governor is at least one step below Neanderthal woman. And Cohen has the gobsmacking audacity to claim the MSM is giving her a pass?! I know where he got that audacity.

Cohen begins by noting William Kristol's NY Times column which quoted Palin saying she does not hold the MSM in high regard. You think?

Cohen said he agrees because the MSM is allegedly giving her a pass and then writes several paragraphs of huge whoppers to "prove" it.

But what seems to have gotten Cohen's knickers into the tightest wad is how unfairly poor ol' Hillary was treated by the media. Boo hoo.

Since I began with the Times' conservative columnist of the moment, I will end with its conservative columnist of years past -- the estimable William Safire. Back in 1996, he called Hillary Clinton "a congenital liar." It was a head-snapping characterization that, alas for Clinton, has defined her for the ages and which she stubbornly vindicates from time to time.

Whoa! Just when did Hillary "stubbornly vindicate" herself from her liar's reputation? When she kept repeating the Kosovo sniper tale which the MSM swallowed hook, line and sinker until some right-wing bloggers blew the whistle? Big Bill and his lovely wife Bruno held the world record for whoppers (Political Division) until along came this nobody who never run nothing but his mouth and took the title away from 'em.

But since Cohen knows his spin about Palin lying won't float, he comes up with a worst offense -- she transgressed via a blink of her eye.

But what about Palin? Can you imagine the reaction of the press corps if (Hillary) Clinton had given the audience a hi-ya-sailor wink?

...Ah, but the scorn, approbation and ridicule that would have descended on Clinton -- I can just imagine the Journal editorial -- have been spared Palin. Much of the mainstream media, grading on a curve suitable for a parrot -- "greed and corruption, greed and corruption, greed and corruption " -- gave her a passing grade or better. I agree with Palin. It's the mainstream media that flunked.

Whoda thunk a little bitty wink would get a fella so hot and bothered? Why you'd think Palin had given Cohen that wink. In his dreams.
