What are they smokin'?

I'm with Jon Talton at Rogue Columnist. What the hell is wrong with the media elite sitting on the editorial boards of the nation's major newspapers. Open yer freakin' eyes!

I don't get it.

Newspapers I generally respect have spent two days having orgasms over President-elect McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate. "With Pick, McCain Reclaims His Maverick Image," was the rhapsodic
headline in the Washington Post. "Can You Cross Out 'Hillary and Write 'Sarah?,' the New York Times asked in its Week in Review section. This is a "game changer." This shows what an independent maverick McCain is, "bucking" the Beltway establishment.

Instead, McCain's decision shows he is both cynical and cowed into submission.
...
Only Frank Rich at the Times seems willing to be a real maverick against the corporate media's determination to elect McCain. They think women are stupid. They think we're all stupid. Enough of us may prove them correct.

These are serious times and they call for serious people. Too much is at stake for America and the world.
