It has nothing to do with opposing Obama.

So the president doesn't want a "far left" bill. He tells them to come up with something, then they come up with WTF. While I guess its not opposing him, per say, its definitely not the cooperation he'd like.

No it's not. And that's not due to the Democrats as a whole. That's due to the Democratic leadership (Pelosi/Reid). They, especially Pelosi, are working against his more moderate agenda and pushing forward with a far left agenda that is stalling progress.

You eat what you kill, fine. If you support trophy hunting, you are not an animal lover and you are not pro life.

If someone like Sarah Palin says that she is pro-life yet is okay with trophy hunting, I'm going to call her on it.

If you go to college and you major in something, they usually make you participate. I know many people who have majored in film, and the college requires them to participate in at least one production before graduation. To major in journalism and not write one story is strange.

I'm pro-life, I love animals, can't stand cats and am fine wit trophy hunting. Just like I'm fine with people eating hamburger and fagraw(sp). Why, becaue they are animals, not people. Of course we shouldn't be cruel to animals. But hunting deer, I'm not seeing that as some major character flaw.

You do know, especially when she was in school, that journalism was one of the most popular majors. Everyone can't be in the school paper. I really don't understand how that's relevant.

Again, quite right.

The National Enquirer has been accepted for the Pulitzer Prize nominations due to this story.
IT'S OFFICIAL! ENQUIRER ACCEPTED INTO PULITZER PRIZE COMPETITION - Celebrity News | Gossip - National Enquirer

The scoop was broken by Emily Miller at Huffington Post as rumors of our acceptance into the competition by the prestigious journalism committee ignited the blogosphere.

"The Pulitzer Prize Board has officially accepted The National Enquirer's submissions for breaking the John Edwards scandal, according to sources close to the Board. In a historic move, the Pulitzer Board conceded that the self-proclaimed tabloid is qualified to compete with mainstream news outlets for journalism's most prestigious prize.

"The Enquirer is in the running for the Pulitzer in two categories: "Investigative Reporting" and "National News Reporting" for The National Enquirer staff," Ms. Miller announced exclusively at HuffPo.

National Enquirer Now Legit, According to Pulitzer Prize Board
Pulitzer Prize Committee Will Consider National Enquirer for Breaking John Edwards Scandal

The National Enquirer is now legit, according to the Pulitzer Prize Board.

The body behind journalism's most prestigious award conceded Thursday that the self-proclaimed tabloid can compete with mainstream news outlets for its prizes. Because it broke the story about former presidential candidate John Edwards's mistress and love child, the Enquirer's staff is eligible for the Pulitzer in two categories: "Investigative Reporting" and "National News Reporting."

"We'll see what happens," National Enquirer executive editor Barry Levine said today. "We want to see now that the Pulitzer people review our submission and we expect, obviously, that there's going to be tremendous competition in the investigative category and in the national reporting category."

It only makes sense. With newspapers falling in subscription and importance the Pulitzer will have to move on with the times and just award "Reporting" no matter what media it comes on.

I would have to agree with you. And as you know, I'm no fan of Palin.

Hadn't thought of that. Good point

This has nothing to do with this thread, save the thread-maker, but where did 7690 go? I liked his posts

Why? Because he has a baby with a mistress? I think it's been debated extensively elsewhere but Palin is a fucking moron who couldn't run a candy store.

Edwards using friends to cover up his mistake is fantastically stupid and arrogant. I'd call it a draw.

No, but pure stupidity does trump lacking a soul.

I think you're construing my use of "soul" too narrowly. Perhaps I should have said "pure stupidity trumps lack of conscience."

He doesn't have "a lack of conscience". You can take his actions to mean that I guess...but I don't. I can also say Palin has "a lack of conscience" in many areas...so they are even in that category. So then you add to it her infinite stupidity and it's clear to me that she loses.
