A Few Parting Shots

She is soon to be history, but one cannot help but marvel at the stunning vapidity of Sarah Palin. On a conservative call in show, she stated that the media's attacks on her statements about Barak Obama made her worry for her First Amendment Rights. Ummm... the First Amendement secures the right of free speech against restrictions by the state, not the news media. Being criticized is not the same as being censored and the First Amendment specifically protects the press' ability to criticize, praise, analyze or ignore the statement of political buffoons like Gov. Palin.

But we can't expect her to be up on all this Consitutional stuff.... that's for elitists.

In other news, at least one poll shows that Sen. Obama has gained ground among Catholics. Roughly 40% of Catholics still intend to vote for John McCain based on his anti abortion stance. It appears Christopher Hitchens still has the better part of the argument.
