The New York Times Is Run By Halfwits

Strike that....not halfwits, just dumb Obama partisans who really think they can cover up and spin for their master in the age of high-speed connectivity.

Exhibit A: their front-page handwringing article about how John McCain did not "thoroughly vet" Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for his vice-presidential nominee, quoting several Alaska political figures who claim that they and their "contacts" knew nothing about it.

When you look deeper, though, these local luminaries include:

1) Lyda Green, a Republican and current President of the state Senate -- who has regularly butted heads with Palin and is in the process of "retiring", both because one of Palin's allies is set to kick her butt in the November election AND because she was receiving campaign contributions from VECO -- the same company connected with indicted Senator Ted Stevens.

2) Representative Gail Phillips, who Palin also has butted heads with and ran against in Palin's unsuccessful 2002 bid for lieutenant governor.

3) State Senator Hollis French, the Democrat who is pushing the ethics investigation against Palin

And last, but certainly not least:

4) Randy Ruederich, the Republican Party state chair for Alaska, who was required to pay $12,000 in fines for ethics violations after Palin blew the whistle on him.

Gee, wonder why McCain didn't bother calling any of them or their supporters?

The reason the Times thinks they can get away with this is, of course, their Obama-esque belief that everyone outside their circle is ignorant and stupid; therefore, a little media spin, and away goes Palin.

Idiots.
