First off, why on earth can't mainstream media members do the kind of reporting that Jon Stewart does? I'm talking about the hard hitting reporting where you compare and contrast what someone said before to what they're saying when events change and point out the rank and nauseating hypocrisy? Oh...wait...most of those ARE the mainstream U.S. media figures in Stewart's video clips. Nevermind. Oh well, at least it points out how completely misleading the job title of "political commentator" is for some of these people when a more correct phrasing would be "partisan schmuck". In other news, Alaska's largest paper accuses their chief executive of stonewalling the investigation into whether she misused her office for personal gain to stall the results until after the election and calls for subpoenas. As McCain might say, "That's not change we can believe in!"

Between this and Librarian Gate I wonder if we're still supposed to believe that the Palin pick was real and thoroughly vetted.
