I agree..many political writers have either ghost writers or work with someone (as if she doesn’t have enough on her plate to delegate and get some help). You go girl!

 The "radical" left still loves to hate her and gets every jab in possible-and yes-we conservs can do the same. And then there’s those who hate to not love her gutsy but sweet self. What a great country-lets just hope we don’t lose all (Dems & Repubs) of our freedoms of speech on both sides while "Big Brother and Uncle Sam’s plantation" are rapidly getting their noses into all of our private business. Give me liberty or give me death.

Re: Miss CA-Everybody is talking mercy with past mistakes on the left-for the left-but no mercy for the teen who took shots with her girlfriend. If she believes in heterosexual marriage that’s her RIGHT to express her views as an American. If someone disagrees-well-Ok-that your RIGHT. Get the whiners, the KBG (and the Nazi youth corps) outa my back yard and my bank accounts. My Russian friends doing my remodel told me that American libs are the most naive’ he’s ever seen traveling the world-or I quote him-"Wait until they have their own Mother devoured for speaking freely, then sent to Siberia! I came here to flee communism and I arrived in Saddam and Gomorrah-American’s need another wake up call to reality!" A Russian’s words-not mine. 

Hey-for those wanting a wild ride-I share about Bishop David Manning’s nightly Manning News Reports on the web-and his stuff on Prejean, Palin & Michael Savage (banned from England). Man is the fire sizzling every day on that site! Check it out on the web for some hot n’ heavy American debates.  

MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski says the New York Times and other members of the "media elite" knew very little about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin when it was announced she would be Sen. John McCain’s running mate, except that they wanted to "bring her down."

"Let me make this clear, because this is my world and these are the people I’ve worked with for twenty years," Brzezinski explains.

"Members of the network media elite, as well as members and people who worked for the New York Times when Sarah Palin first came on the scene, and this is what they knew about her: She was a woman, she was pro-life, and she had some very, very conservative views on other issues," Brzezinski says.

"And all I could hear from my friends in the network media elite was, ‘Let’s bring her down. I hope these rumors bring her down.’

"And at a party where there were people from The New York Times, all they would talk about is the rumors that they hoped would bring her down," Brzezinski says of the troubling behavior of some of her media colleagues.

"They did not know her. They didn’t know anything about her. But they wanted to bring her down."

Brzezinski also is perplexed by the way some journalists talk about President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle behind the scenes, when nobody else is listening to them.

"I still don’t think it’s right to be in love with him," Brzezinski says of the media’s infatuation with Obama. "And to be acting like a little girl at a Beatles concert."

Host Joe Scarborough agrees with Brzezinski, adding that it may be fine to root for a particular politician, but that you cannot do so if you "pretend to be a journalist."

"You have to be dispassionate about what you do," Scarborough says. "You have to be disconnected. Sadly, many in the media cannot do that because they have fallen so deeply in love with Obama."

…"the list of those politicians that wrote their own books is very, very small. In fact there are at least two prominent book sellers whose names appear on covers of books written by ghostwriters that Silva has probably never once scolded for having a "hired writer." Those two are Bill and Hillary Clinton. Add to that John Kerry, Al Gore "
