WaPo: Palin privacy fence too ugly, or something

*
When it comes to finding excuses for criticizing Sarah Palin, the Washington Post proves that's there's no pretext too trivial for the leftist rag to bash her. At a time when the nation is saddled with an unprecedented debt burden, chronic unemployment, people walking away from their home mortgages while sales of existing homes tank, and the worst environmental disaster in the country's history, the Post's progressives are focused on... the aesthetics of the privacy fence hastily constructed by Todd Palin to protect his family from the stalker next door:
"I've seen a few fences in my time, but none quite as defiantly ugly as the one now shielding Sarah Palin and her family from what she suggests are the prying eyes of her new neighbor, an author named Joe McGinniss."

[...]

"However genuine the motives behind the fence, from a design, horticultural and sheer aesthetic standpoint, it looks like a disaster."
Few would dispute that the Post is little more than a stenographer service for the DNC's talking points department, but really, using the gardening editor to slam the Palins is a desperate move. When it comes to railing against Sarah Palin and her family, WaPo always stoops a little lower to scrape the trite from the bottom of the barrel marked "Who cares?" in stenciled letters. You can't make this stuff up, but the Post does, and shamelessly so.

  1. Nice take down JP. The ridiculous means Progressives will use to further their ends are appalling and hilarious at the same time.

  2. Palin fans are ready for the onslaught of evil media designed to derail. The media continues to use the evil sex card, her family, etc. It might have worked last time but, not twice. Americans have more intelligence than you leftists give them credit. Our country has Equal Employment Opportunity and, until the last ten years Affirmative Action. The Office of the Presidency is subject to these same laws. Plain and simple. This candidate is qualified, intelligent, dignified, and outspoken. Her personal life is just that...her personal life. The sign of a true professional, she has distinguish to you, the press, what is professional to write, and that her family, friends, etc. are off limits. No different than any other candidate running for public office. Now get the message and find your entertainment elsewhere.

  3. Sunday morning nonsense of the first order! Here's an update for you, Josh:


    "O grim looked fence! O fence with hue so black!
    O fence, which ever art when day is not!
    O fence, O fence! Alack, alack, alack!"

    With apologies to The Bard. (h/t A Midsummer Night’s Dream Act 5 Scene 1)
