You can't teach instincts like that

OK! magazine, the sychophantic journal of Jan Whiner (misspelling intentional) is claiming to be putting an evenhanded choice before the voters. Here is the text from the magazine's site:

"On one cover is an exclusive look into the everyday family life of Democratic Party nominee, Senator Barack Obama, his wife Michelle Obama and their two adorable daughters, Malia and Sasha. "

Notice the word ADORABLE and the phrase EVERYDAY FAMILY LIFE where Obama is concerned.

"OK!'s other cover this week is dedicated to Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the 44-year-old Alaskan governer who first surprised the world when she was announced as Senator John McCain's running mate for the November election, only to shock everyone again days later when she announced the pregnancy and impending marriage of her 17-year-old daughter Bristol."

Notice the change in tone here. No hint of scandal in the Obama article but nothing but that when the focus shifts to the opposition. The site finishes the blurb with a bubbly sentence saying it is now the readers turn to decide. Decide, oh yes, but is a fair representation being offered? OK! is in essence asking its readers to decide between a lucious family meal or a suspicious hunk of rotting chicken. And did anyone notice the missing candidates here?

Unless I missed something, isn't McCain running against Obama? As far as I know, no vice presidential candidate has ever debated a presidential candidate, but that is how the left views this race. McCain, to them is not the danger, Palin is. McCain has enough baggage, not as much as either Democrat candidate, but enough to formulate an attack. Palin, on the other hand has a record an eagle scout would envy. Even Dr. Phil, the left's councilor of choice has come to her defense. No, this woman is the real threat.

Consider what Whiner and the others are facing here. Never in this nations history has one of the parties ever made it past three administrations. FDR is considered to be just one long administration. If McCain had played fair and picked a real loser, things would be all right, but what did he do? He picked a woman, notice the Dems are running two men, who not only looks good, speaks good, has experience, and the unfairest of all, is actually good...not just another politician, like Hillary.

So what does OK! do? They polish the tone and slant the view...and do it slickly. You just can't teach instints like that.
