JournoGate: More tales from the dark side

*
Since the initial JournoGate bombshell was dropped, The Daily Caller has published two more batches of the leftist media hacks' emails (here and here). The latest group of messages is composed entirely of reactions from what were supposed to be fair and biased journalists to news of Obama's 2008 election victory. Doug Powers observes at Michelle Malkin's place that the collective gushing was enough to make Chris Matthews, with the thrill going up his leg, appear to need a shot of Viagra in pale comparison:

My personal favorite is from the author of What Liberal Media? The book, according to Amazon, is “Journalist Eric Alterman’s refutation of widely flung charges of left-wing bias.”

Mr. Alterman’s response on election night 2008: “F—ing Nascar retards…”

What liberal media?

One of the quotes directly disses Gov. Palin:

RYAN DONMOYER, BLOOMBERG NEWS: Best quip I heard today, courtesy of a Facebook friend: “I wonder if Sarah Palin is still unclear about what a community organizer does.”

Some have speculated that another appears to reference a remark made by Michael Barone during a speech he gave to a higher education association:

JEFFREY TOOBIN, THE NEW YORKER: As a side note, does anyone know what prompted Michael Barone to go insane?

Barone reportedly said:

“The liberal media attacked Sarah Palin because she did not abort her Down syndrome baby. They wanted her to kill that child. ... I'm talking about my media colleagues with whom I've worked for 35 years.”

But the dates don't match up. Barone did not address the academics until November 11, 2008, and the Toobin comment is dated, according to The DC, November 7. We think what had Toobin's pinko panties in a twist was more likely a Barone op-ed in the October 13 edition of the Washington Times titled "The coming liberal thugocracy."

Oh, and lest anyone doubt us when we point to Politico's left-bias:

LAURA ROZEN, FOREIGN POLICY (NOW POLITICO): Can you imagine if these bozos had won?

Update: A tweet from Gov. Palin links to Mark Levin's Facebook page, where The Great One has been kcking leftist JournoButt and taking names:
