Rachel Maddow Battles David Frum's False Equivalencies, Calls Palin A 'Liar'

By making a lame attempt to put on the same level Rachel Maddow's humorous delivery of her commentary to the recent depraved innuendos and utterances of the McCain-Palin campaign that brought about some rather depraved reactions and comments from their crowds, DavidFrum, allegedly one of the great "intellectuals" of the right, showed he just has a more sophisticated way of expressing the vile and tergiversations of the more recalcitrant elements of the right.



He also showed that old conservative men like him still do have a problem with smart, tough women like Maddow. Maybe she does not fit some stereotype of the "bitter" liberal feminist.



Frum tried to spin and put down Maddow, who would not have any of his nonsense and put him in his place. I am surprised she did not call him on his condescension towards voters when he said the financial crisis was causing people to blindly sign on a big government project.



Nonetheless, Maddow showed the smartness and composure that have put so much shine on her ascending career. Bravo for her.

Palin and Dr. Evil

One can only assume that moderate, thinking conservatives will eventually come around to the fact that a pretty face remains attractive only so long. Eventually it needs to be accompanied by content.

Palin was clenching her teeth many times during her debate with Biden, but she disguised it well as a smile.

As I watched, I kept having an uncomfortable feeling I did not quite understand. It went away when my wife wistfully noted that Palin reminded her of Dr. Evil's fembots.

VP Debate: Biden-Palin Video, Highlights

This is one of many (infinite?) possibilities for the next spoof by Tina Fey:

-Moderator: Governor Palin, if elected, how will you contribute to rebuilding the economy?

-Palin/Fey: If I am so blessed to serve this exceptional country that we live in, I will be so lucky to be with John McCain the Maverick.


-Moderator: How will the McCain Administration address environmental change?

-Palin/Fey: We don't know know how much is man made. The important thing is John McCain is a Maverick.


-Moderator: Your closing statement please.

-Palin/Fey: We are patriots because we love our country because it is exceptional because Joe Six-Pack loves Mavericks. John McCain is a Maverick, I am a pageant Maverick, we will build a country of Mavericks because we are patriots because we love this country precisely and exactly because, as I told ya before, we are mavericks.
