Sarah Palin is outraged about nothing, but is so intent not to be forgotten that she stoops to the lowest levels. It's time for the Media to act responsibly and help her fade away.
Republicans are attacking the wrong targets and pursuing the wrong goals. Trying to brand the Democrats is a colossal waste of time.
Bristol and Levi Johnston have broken up? You're kidding! I imagine Sarah -- simply a natural when it comes to children -- must be thrilled.
I have watched with mild amusement this week the self-immolation of the Republican Party as it bows before the altar of Rush Limbaugh, begging for mer...
The Republicans will have an opportunity during the Obama administration to stake out reasonable opposing positions that might restore their vanished credibility with the public.
Palin is one-person reiteration of everything from "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" (early round dismissal?) up through and including "Survivor."
I submit to you, Sen. Lieberman, that you were punished yesterday more than you realize. Stick with me on this. I'll explain: it never fully occurred to me how Obama would use his strengths in a position of leadership. Until this week.
There's little appetite now to dredge up and rehash the nightmare, but without better exposure of what happened at the RNC in St. Paul, the "war on dissent" risks repeating itself in the future.
Palin also was criticized for adding to the tension because of her speech at the Miami meeting. It was supposed to be a call for unity and for the future of the aching Republican party.
The Ecstasy - She's the Republican Party's most effective and dynamic public speaker whose inspirational words can motivate supporters to a point of g...
Goldwater lost that election, of course, he lost big, but in later years even the much-hated media would see that convention, and that loss, as the birth of the modern Republican party.
In this radio interview I discuss my ideas about emotional trauma (RD Stolorow, Trauma and Human Existence, Routledge, 2007) and extend them to the collective trauma of 9/11.
Several delegates I spoke with noted that the only aspect of Bush's foreign policy that they viewed positively was rooted in Africa.
When word of the RNC violence and arrests traveled east, Leo and the band decided to record two new songs. I chatted with him about life as a political songwriter, and of course, pigs in lipstick.
You can't denounce 'extremists' and tout 'mavericks'. That's akin to denouncing hoagies while endorsing po-boys. It makes you look nuts.
Amazing what a difference a week makes. Something has changed since Sarah Palin burst into the Republican Convention and started living it up by the...
Without a doubt. So, after the hideous spectacle of the convention was over, I did what most food writers do when they're mildly hysterical: I fled for the safety of my kitchen.
I've been blogging about last weekend's Equal Voice for America's Families Convention. Fifteen thousand people from low-income communities gathered in...
These diametrically opposed, partisan visions of America can never be reconciled because both parties feel that they are fundamentally saving the other party from itself.
Pit bull presidencies don't work for issues like terrorism, global warming, our declining economy. You can't solve them by simply ripping your enemy's leg off.
As we digest last week's Republican National Convention and that party's traditional small government platforms, such as a constitutional ban on gay m...

It's now no longer enough to simply report Palin's record as Governor. At this point the story is not about her record, it is about her lying about her record. Her lack of truthfullness is the only thing that matters now. Fact checking remarks after they are made, should be a courtesy reserved for honest people, not for Palin and McCain. The McCain campaign is making the National Press Corp look like a bunch of pathetic fools. For the last week, we've been getting nothing put regurgitated GOP talking points.
Sklar, this is your best post to date! I am thrilled by the mighty sound of your voice. Keep it going.
Finally a journalist with some grit; proud to have read your article and keep up the good work. You know the old saying,"If your not being criticized, then your not doing your Job. Thank you for your courage...
Save us from W W 3 .
What is not getting much press is that if McCain/Palin wins, Roe v. Wade WILL be overturned, there is no doubt about it. And within a year or so, depending on when certain Supreme Court Justices leave the bench. Good luck, America. I see riots in the streets if that happens.
Bravo Rachel! Why journalists aren't utterly appalled with the McCain campaign preventing Palin from answering direct questions from them is beyond me - this is terribly frightening and completely disgusting. We are headed for four more years of Republican hell if these journalists don't get off their asses and stop sucking up to conservatives.
