If you keep up with Sarah Palin news (and why wouldn't you? Everyone else does.), you know that she recently suggested that the media was harder on her than they are currently being on Caroline Kennedy and that this difference is due to a "class issue." I think Palin may be right, in a way. And so I actually want to take this question of a "class issue" seriously for a few minutes. Let's just dismiss Palin's point about the media going easy on Caroline Kennedy. As Jason Linkins notes, this isn't true ("you know?"). ...

Keith Olbermann talked with Michael Musto last night about the collapse of the porn economy, and what the bailout might look like.
Asked Olbermann: "Would there be a porn tsar?"
Said Musto: "There's a lot of concessions we can make. No more Ron Jeremy films. There's Barney Frank is gonna wanna be the fluffer on Schindler's Fist. There should be a porn tsar.

There are two stories out of Alaska which I feel compelled to talk about. The first is Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin’s boyfriend or fiancé (I’m not sure which). The second story is about Sherry Johnston, Levi’s mother. Both are sad stories. Both tales remind me how completely un-ready for prime time Sarah Palin and her extended family are.
Sherry Johnston pleaded not guilty to six counts of possessing and selling OxyContin yesterday. She had no lawyer and asked for a public defender. She is in the middle of a divorce from her husband. This sounds like a story that we’ve all seen before, ... Flag post

Fosco's ongoing cherry-picking of Vanity Fair's "An Oral History of the Bush White House" continues today with a delightful quote from Lawrence Wilkerson, top aide and later chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell. Today's topic is "Dick Cheney: Devil or Demon?"We had this confluence of characters—and I use that term very carefully—that included people like Powell, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, and so forth, which allowed one perception to be “the dream team.” It allowed everybody to believe that this Sarah Palin–like president—because, let’s face it, that’s what he was—was going to be protected by ...

I thought the same thing.
