    And then become a regular contributor on Fox News Channel. She'll write a book, called "Witch Hunt" that describes how she was singled out and picked on by the Liberal Elite Media who distorted everything and made her into a bad guy because her grassroots, plain-spoken solutions sent terror into the hearts of the people pulling the strings in Liberal washington DC. She'll promote the book on the O'Reilly Factor, Hannity, Beck and the usual circuit of right wing radio and the history of the campaign will be rewritten to say that she couldn't get a fair shake.

    The one thing conservatives do is they rally 'round their own. Losing an election is no big deal, you can still have a lucrative future pandering to the far right base, as Winky taught us.

    And that's where our media really has failed us in so many ways. It's amazing to watch.

    Take a recent story: Bob Woodward says (without a source, of course) that Obama is considering dumping Biden in 2012 and going with Hillary. Hillary vehemently denies it. So what's the next headline? "Why Are the Dems Talking about Replacing Biden Now?" and then going on to investigate why this is a bad idea.

    So the standard is: Invent something, then report on it, then report on the "effects" of what you invented.

    Someone needs to go and figure out if there really is a bed bug epidemic going around, or if it's just slow in the newsroom. Maybe there isn't anymore cases of this occurring than there ever normally was.
    Kinda like that year when they made it seem like you can't go into the ocean without a shark attacking you, and with some research, you found out it wasn't any more than any other year.

    I do want to know why anyone would lie about their father being an official Bozo the clown...is it really that big of a status symbol?

    She didn't even invent it. Hell, G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North parlayed actual CRIMINAL ACTIVITY into lucrative media/book/TV/radio gigs. When the right wing decides to adore someone, they don't mess around.

    It wasn't different, but it was the new hotness that year until a group of terroists decided to fly some planes into a couple buildings.
