Sarah Palin’s E-mails

June 12 and 19, 2011

Sarah Palin’s day for releasing her gubernatorial e-mails came up a few days ago. On June 9, 2011, The New York Times featured a story by Derek Willis in The Caucus, which is a blog. It said, “Help Us Review the Sarah Palin E-Mail Records.” Therefore, on the same day, the headline on The Huffington Post read, “ Help Us And Be Among The First To Read Sarah Palin’s Emails.” Another liberal site said, “Help the New York Times Read Through Sarah Palin’s Emails.” And they say conservatives are in lock-step!

Not that the release of information should be ignored, but can you recall the same request being made to help The Times read through Obama Care’s 2,000+ pages? Maybe you can think of a request made by the mainstream media for help during the 2008 election for an investigation into Barack Obama’s citizenship, or a request to help so-called journalists read a release of any Democrat’s e-mails? Didn’t think so. They’re just not interested in researching those stories.

But when it comes to digging up dirt on a conservative, they’ll stop at nothing. No one has yet complained about how many trees the huge stack of the Palin printout copies represented. If this had been a Democrat (and Republicans had requested tons of paper), I’m positive that environmental groups would have complained about the devastating impact to mother earth…

As I thought, despite the collective liberal salivation over the e-mail release, nothing terrible has emerged. Yahoo news reported, “Many…dealt with the mundane matters of running an office and a state…” So, this turns out to be a yawn instead of a great story of scandal, as the liberal media wanted. They wasted so much fervent, partisan effort - for nothing!

Weiner!

June 7 and 12, 2011

I urge you to read the following May 31, 2011 story on salon.com: Right-wingers really, really, really hoping Anthony Weiner story holds up by Alex Pareene. The subtitle is Accusing the New York Democrat of impropriety without compelling evidence seems fair, if you totally hate him. The theme of Pareene’s story is that while it’s possible that Weiner sexted a woman, he was probably phished, just as Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) said.

Alex Pareene says that you simply can’t trust that Andrew Breitbart, “or anything his websites claim.” Breitbart, as it turns out, while stealing a page from Woodward and Bernstein (of Watergate fame), exposed the true stories of Weiner’s indiscretions. In the salon.com article, Pareene envisions Jonah Goldberg (a conservative columnist) giggling each time he uses the made-up Weinergate word. It’s funny to read how Pareene insists it’s not a word. It’s not! It’s not! Ok, already. The rest of us are laughing, too, but at Weiner’s foolishness (and perhaps at Alex Pareene’s eagerness to support him). As liberals liked to scold the rest of us, “Absolute power corrupts, absolutely.” It goes for people of all political parties, Alex.

Mr. Pareene continues to insist the whole Weiner affair was a made up story, scripted by someone to “make people think Weiner took and sent the photo.” Those evil conservatives! Pareene concludes, “Anthony Weiner could be trying to make this all go away because he did something wrong. But it also seems possible that he wants it all to go away because it's a stupid, false story. If you hate Weiner and hope very much that he'll depart public life in a humiliating fashion, I can see why you would be very excited about this...” Yeah, right, but is it possible that Pareene trusts Breitbart - now that the truth has been revealed? Weiner took naked photos of himself and sent them to various women… Breitbart had nothing to do with any of it, except for revealing the photos.

This ridiculous article should help us deal with future events. Even though we saw the irrational, paranoid defense of a guilty Democrat from a blogger, we can gain some insight into how the mainstream media thinks. This reasoning is one-dimensional, simplistic, and there was no curiosity to investigate until one, lone and courageous journalist, Mr. Breitbart, presented the evidence. What if Woodward and Bernstein decided to ignore your beloved Watergate affair, Mr. Pareene?

Pocket Full of Posey

June 7, 2011

Buster Posey, the San Francisco Giants’ star catcher, is out for the rest of the year. He broke his leg on a play at home plate on May 25, 2011. The experts say it was his own fault because he positioned himself poorly as the runner, Florida Marlins’ outfielder Scott Cousins, approached. However, Giants’ General Manager, Brian Sabean, in an angry radio outburst, attacked Cousins, calling the play “malicious.” Sabean also said, “…if I never hear from Cousins again or he doesn’t play another day in the big leagues, I think we’ll all be happy.” You may think Sabean loyal for sticking up for his player, but he was out of line. As we all know, anger doesn’t solve anything.

Of course, Sabean apologized with the usual platitudes. But you’d think a Giants’ GM would have a better handle on this stuff. Earlier this year two Dodger fans beat up a Giants’ fan outside of Dodger stadium and he died from his injuries. Scott Cousins has been threatened with death himself, and while Sabean’s comments probably didn’t cause the threats, they certainly didn’t help.

Hall of Fame catcher, Johnny Bench, summed it up by saying that Posey had put himself in a bad position. Bench said, “I teach my kids to stay away from the plate when you don't have the ball so the runner actually sees home plate and his thought is, slide. But Buster is laying in front of home plate, and it's like having a disabled car in the middle of a four-lane highway. You're just going to get smacked. Show them the plate. You can always catch the ball and step, or step and catch the ball, as long as you've got the runner on the ground. And if you have the runner on the ground, there's less chance of any severe collision.” Rockies’ catching expert and former major leaguer Marv Foley, agreed with Bench’s analysis.

Why do I mention a baseball incident in a political blog? It’s simple. There is an analogy between Brian Sabean’s reaction and people who debate political issues. Some fly off the handle and become unhinged, while others take a more rational approach. I want to point out how easy it is to react with emotion. It’s more difficult, but better to be thoughtful and understanding about things when they don’t go your way. Analyze, think, then think some more. After you understand the situation completely, react, but use your best judgment. Don’t attack anyone, and remember, we’re all human beings, and we all have feelings. Isn’t this how you would want your children and/or grandchildren to behave?
