in Michelle Obama To Hit ‘Daily Show’ on The Washington Independent
Wherever did you get the notion of Steven Colbert as having any conservative cred? Just because some conservatives "don't get" the hyperbole doesn't make him conservative. I understand you gave both appellations, but he's just not conservative except in the over-the-top, we're all laughing at them, sense.

in So, How’d She Do? on The Washington Independent
If the questions were deliberately specific to Palin's weaknesses (which,IMHO, requires little effort to choose), she ably responded in J-School fashion by answering the question she wanted, not the one asked.

My local paper polled its readership (unscientifically) and received assurances that less that 3% of readers had EVER changed their votes in response to a "debate". Given that the current two-party media circus is more ceremonial dance than debate, it was really just another chance for people to figure out what Joe Biden looks like and what hockey moms have to say about the third graders back home. While Tina Faye could be the smarter stand-in, Frances McDormand did the original impression in the movie "Fargo" - except McDormand was relentlessly successful under the radar (and won an Oscar). Oh-oh!

in McCain: Selectively A Deregulator on The Washington Independent
Clearly McCain is very much into regulatory "intervention" if your name is Charles Keating or you own a "gaming" emporium. Even better if you've played golf in Scotland with a certain reptile from "K-Street".
