I don't watch a lot of TV but I have seen (before the Eagles-Rams kickoff) the much publicized and criticized Microsoft commercial with Bill and Jerry. Awful. First of all, I had no idea what the commercial was for and, secondly, Jerry Seinfeld isn't funny at all; never was, and Bill Gates certainly isn't either. I never liked Seinfeld to begin with and that show wasn't very funny either. In fact, it's one of the shows that opened my eyes and led me to totally ditch, save Jeopardy! and sometimes the Simpsons (probably the best-written show ever), prime-time television viewing. From what I have seen, it's only gotten worse over the past 12 years. Newton N. Minow, how right you are.
Speaking of comedians, Obama's lipstick on a pig and stinky fish comments seem to be the talk of the town. The vast wasteland of the cable news channels is hyping this too much but not near at the level you'd see if McCain had said the same if Obama had a woman running mate. Plus, with McCain's bounce the MSM has gone into red alert damage control mode to cover for Obama once again. However, polls in September mean nothing, no matter who's leading. They'll sway many times over the next eight weeks.

What about the time John McBush called his wife a capital C-word?
Yeah and why did I only find out about Palin's association with these nutty churches only today, and not on television:

Odds are it's not going to be aired as often as the tired Rev. Wright clip was.
Rev. Wright should be fortunate that sedition laws aren't enforced. If McCain or Palin had a "Rev. Wright" as their pastor (which is impossible because the 'hate America' crowd is overwhelmingly liberal for some reason) Rev. Wright would receive 50x the coverage.
"linked in various ways"? Weak, and even if true, so what? Betcha more people would rather belong to a "nutty church" than a church whose pastor damns America in his sermons.
Better to belong to a church that's armed and preparing to convert people to their beliefs forcibly than one where the pastor said "Goddamn America"
Right.
