Dana Milbank Provides Funny Whine, Plus Palin Today

Posted on October 8, 2008

(Washington Post) The couple hundred guests, said by local press accounts to have given $10,000 per ticket, were in an air-conditioned tent. Your pool was held outside. (Temperature: 87; Accuweather “RealFeel” temperature: 106.) Guests dined on steak salad and fruit tart, sipping white and red wine. Your pool [reporters] did not.

Whoa! Massive seething by someone who……didn’t pay $10,000. What makes Milbank think he is entitled to dine on steak salad and fruit tart inside? Entitled, baby, entitled! We are The Media!

SarahCuda talks with The Times

After more than a month on the campaign trail, Gov. Sarah Palin has finally taken questions from her traveling press corps.

The very brief press conference occurred on a flight from Pensacola, Fla., to Greenville, N.C., when Ms. Palin walked back into the press cabin without any warning, accompanied by her spokeswoman, Tracey Schmitt.

She worked her way back row by row, shaking hands with each reporter and saying “Nice to meet you!” to each one.

Then she answered questions on the state of the race, on the relevance of William Ayers, on the state investigation in Alaska centered on her husband, Todd, and on the recent negative campaigning.

Then she said “pull!”

The dude who hacked Palin’s email has been indicted by Los Federales. More details at Michelle Malkin’s spot, Patterico, and The Jawa Report

Palin is the 10th cousin of Princess Diana.

Thomas Freidman has an issue with Palin’s type of patriotism.

Excitable Andy points to a “disturbing video” regarding Palin’s secessionist motives. I thought it appropriate to end this short post the way it started: with a massive seething whiner.

I read Friedman’s piece about Palin’s brand of patriotism. He twists her words to mean she didn’t think it was patriotic to pay taxes at all. This is just more evidence that the radical left is still bug-eyed with fear over Palin. Clearly the left do not think it is patriotic to pay taxes, but the comments posted largely deride, ridicule and lambast Palin over it. The simple test of whether the radical left agree that it is patriotic to pay more taxes or not would be for Friedman, for example, to show that he has volunteered to send more than he owed with his last tax return. Certainly we should demand that Biden, the champion of this credo, should show us proof that he has overpaid. Don’t hold your breath.

I kno it’s tough for jounalists not to condescend when they’re reporting on someone they have so little respect for, but someone in journalism school should teach them that if you’re refering to yourself, you’re probably not engaging in the purest form of reporting.
