Blasting 'lamestream media,' Palin Attacks Satirical Article
A reader points out that one of the fed-up claims in Sarah Palin's defense of
Nikki Haley -- that the "lamestream media" reported she was "living in the
Hamptons" --
refers to a pretty blunt and obvious satire in a local New York publication,
Dan's Papers. Most of the "article" concerns the reporter's discovery of a stack
of index cards and e-mails between a dopey Palin and an aide.
"Good news
in the oil situation. BP said they found a way to start breaking up their oil
slick. The bad news is it involves a toxic chemical called Corexit 9527A.
Apparently this is moving us further from a solution and closer to Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles." –Bill Maher
