The REAL Eureka moment is four months away

*
At The Daily Mush, blogger Jim Hlavac comments on the Media-Leftist Complex in its feeding frenzy over a "Eureka" moment:

Well, the president of our 57 states who can’t find our borders is safe. Whew. I was worried there for a moment when it appeared that Sarah Palin did make a booboo. She said that Ronald Reagan, the only president I ever liked during my lifetime, went to “California’s Eureka College” and not Illinois’ Eureka College. This was breathlessly reported by Liz Goodwin of Yahoo News! Oh my. A “goof” as the headline puts it, “mars” her speech.

[...]

So brilliant are the press & TV, and politicos of the Democratic persuasion that they do not gaffe, or goof, or mar, but rather it is always that they were misheard by opponents out to destroy America, or their comments were taken out of context and so torn asunder from their clarity. Yeah, right.

But do they tout and taunt Joe Biden’s plagiarism? Nah. Or his “smart ass” comment... which is a goof, no?

[...]

And Obama’s economic illiteracy, so ample demonstrated in these past two years? Nope, it shall not be mentioned, it’s a commandment or something. 57 States? I doubt it. In fact, apparently Obama speaks so wonderfully teleprompters have been known to just follow his perfection.

Still, if the press and TV couldn’t even recall that the dearly departed Senator Robert Byrd of West Virgina got his start in politics in the lynch mobs of the Klan, and rose quickly up the ladder of hate to swing the noose over the tree of liberty I would imagine that they could not see “goofs” and “mars” in this current administration.

John Edwards perfidy? No press could find it. Al Gore’s Clintonesque behavior of late? Not a smidge of investigation to see if there might be flab with the flame. Indeed, nothing seems to quake lose the blinders of the press when it comes to the Democrats. But woe betide a single goof by a Republican. And Palin? Why, she’s to be grilled like St. Lawrence until the flames of public opinion smother her bright eyes.

Hlavac predicts that Gov. Palin will survive this, just as she has survived 700 continuous days of attacks on all things Sarah. And since she refuses to allow them to destroy her, the onslaught only serves to make the Mama Bear stronger. Meanwhile the country is going to hades in Obama's handbasket, but the left and its corrupt media hope no one will notice if they keep screaming, "Sarah Palin, shiny object." This Wyle-E-Coyote approach is, of course, doomed to failure, as neither the left nor its trained media circus are held in much regard by at least 75 percent of Americans these days. And Sarah Palin can still see November 2nd from her house. That's when the real "Eureka" moment happens.
