CBS reports on Sarah Palin's vetting process and her controversial issues.

[skooooo]

1. outline of the video

She's cancelled public appearances over the last few days, with no
explanation.

Probe into troopergate mentioned.
AIP mentioned (hot damn!)

McCain says these concerns are unfounded or dismissed. Released
her voter records to show she has only been Republican.

Alaskan delegation given press lessons before the conference.

No word as to when she'll resurface.
---

Katie does her reality check! Is she really a reformer? Caught
on the Bridge to Nowhere flip-flop. State still kept the money,
even though the bridge was never built. She had been advocate
for the bridge before she became governor.

Alaska applied for 197 million dollars in earmarks. Hired
lobbyists to get money from DC.

State investigation for firing Montagon. Palin says firing was for
professional reasons.

Jeff Greenfield points out some of the exaggerations by the
Republican party and highlights the absurdity of the claim that
because Alaska is close to Russia that means anything.

9. McCain't have it both ways

McCain also says she was properly vetted and if that's the case, then why did he choose her?

You can't have it both ways: either she wasn't vetted or your judgement, John McCain, is deplorable.

Or maybe republicans don't think there's anything wrong with her conduct. We're the crazies for thinking there's something wrong.

2. First rec! whooo hooooo! CBS feigns integrety....

it's almost like they've hired journalists!

Kudos, CBS!

[Whoa_Nelly]

3. Palin has a very annoying voice

[LVjinx]

4. Yes she does. And I loved Hillary, who some people said had an irritating voice.

[malik flavors]

5. Thanks to CBS for getting the truth out there. K&R

[DaLittle Kitty]

6. Yes K&R CBS ROCK'N HERE!

:)

7. Sentor McCain calls Gov Palin his "soulmate"??? I had to rewind that to make sure I heard it right.

:kick:

[Voice for Peace]

8. that's the only explanation for why he picked her.

I bet Cindy isn't very happy about the choice.

[1Hippiechick]

10. They're taking the spin off that, too. It was Newt or Fred Thompson at the RNC tonight who said,

"He's found his soulmate in Sarah Palin...."

[Just-plain-Kathy]

23. I saw a clip of McCain calling Palin his soulmate. ...n/t

[Supersedeas]

22. he gets around

[lumpy]

11. McCain and Palin are soulmates allright, flip floppin' lyin'

soulmates. I hear Palin is not to be seen at this time because she is being tutored in foreign policy and voice modulation/elocution lessons.

12. Wow--- actual journalism!

I'm frankly SHOCKED that Katie Couric took her perky nose out of McCain's butt long enough to be involved in this report.

[Fla Dem]

16. I'm a die hard Dem and I just have to say, I've always liked

Katie Couric. I know she gets a bad rap here, but she is just so much more moderate to left than the other anchors.

13. Amazing isn't it, the MSM actually doing its job?!

[PatSeg]

14. Its good to see the mainstream media

getting a clue here. I was so surprised when ABC actually started reporting some Palin stories before everyone else. Now CBS!

15. McPain / Falin Worst candidates ever since 1776

[ihavenobias]

17. K & R

[SnowCritter]

19. Shedding some light

on the Gidget and the Geezer show.

Good job, CBS!

Here's to hoping you won't backslide in the comming days and weeks leading up to the election.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

18. The MSM News - McCain's "Base" - has rediscovered it's purpose

[Alcibiades]

20. Will they report on this convention

as critically as they did on the Democratic Convention? I don't know. Have not watched any network news in years because they are all disgusting corporate whores (apologies to actual sex workers, who at least do something useful).

It is swell that ads for Michael Palin ringtones come up on all these threads. Some sort of weird serendipity there:


Praline: Look my lad, I know a dead parrot when I see one and I'm looking at one right now.

Shopkeeper: No, no sir, it's not dead. It's resting.

Praline: Resting?

Shopkeeper: Yeah, remarkable bird the Alaskan Blue, beautiful plumage, innit?


Or

Biggles: Er.... Nobody...um....
Ximinez: Expects...
Biggles: Expects... Nobody expects the...um...the Spanish...um...
Ximinez: Inquisition.
Biggles: I know, I know! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. In fact, those who do expect -
Ximinez: Our chief weapons are...
Biggles: Our chief weapons are...um...er...
Ximinez: Surprise...
Biggles: Surprise and --
Ximinez: Okay, stop. Stop. Stop there - stop there. Stop. Phew! Ah! ... our chief weapons are surprise...blah blah blah. Cardinal, read the charges.
Fang: You are hereby charged that you did on diverse dates commit fire public officials for spurious reasons, lied about declining a federal earmark and once attended the 1994 convention of the Very Silly Party in Anchorage.


And who can forget the lumberjack sketch! Got to be a Palin joke in there somewhere....

[swishyfeet]

21. Unbelievable! Never saw THAT coming.

I had no idea this kind of investigative journalism actually occurred in the MSM. Not like it was particularly difficult... but still!

Bravo CBS!
