Palin and Newsweek

Compare: Palin puts on a pair of running shorts to be photographed for a cover shoot in a running journal and she's a bitch. Yet, President Obama's photographed running shirtless and he's the new sexy. Where's the fairness? Nancy Pelosi could run topless across Capitol Hill and Newsweek would say it was artistic expression.

In the proper context, i.e., a fitness magazine, I see nothing wrong with the photo. But on the cover of a news magazine it becomes "tabloid," thus causing the news organization to further lose credibility. What's worse, Newsweek knew it would appear as such before they took the issue to press.

Whether or not the public likes Sarah Palin — and I do like her — she is being steamrolled by left-wing media outlets that the public so heavily relies upon.

One could argue Sarah Palin just needs to keep her mouth shut and wait. Sometimes people need a "moment" to be redeemed. But she has not been given that opportunity such as have Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, or President Obama who have consistently been rewarded following their slip-ups.

Politically, I'm neither radical right or left. It's difficult to say you are anything but "independent" or "crazy" when you've voted for Bush, Jr. and Hillary. But I hate the constant flow of bullsh*tt about Sarah Palin in the press while dancing monkeys like Joy Behar, David Letterman and Keith Olbermann watch their ass get fatter on national T.V. and make a living off of slandering her.

Whether or not it's Sarah Palin being demonized, it's wrong. Even if it's President Obama, it's wrong.
