The Sleep Time and Rise "n" Shine Thread for 10/13-14/08: Once, Rachel Maddow Shows How Wonderful She Is Last Night.

Here's Rachel last night handling herself against the smug and arrogant David Frum, you'll see who he is when you watch the video if you don't know who he is.

That segment certainly set some at the Kos community in rapture, especially this "diary" from political junkie.

And then, the segment right after was just as grand, calling Sarah Palin a "liar", a one that most in the media seem like they never want to use at all to label any politician, especially if he or she is Republican.

And Palin is an absolute liar. A compulsive one.
The Read
1. A classic post from the Kos' Susan G titled "Anatomy of Erraticism", about what I talked about here yesterday about McCain's "I got it, no I don't go it, I got it, NO, I DON'T HAVE IT YET" grand economic plan that he and his horror of a staff was taslking about all weekend. But it not only puts McCain on blast, but Politico.com as well for their terrible journalism.

Sigh. So now McCain will have a plan--tomorrow, mind you--when a few hours ago he had none. It's like magic! Right after Obama rolls out a plan, abracadabra! McCain announces he has one too! This feels like campaigning by younger irritating sibling in the back seat on a long cross-country car ride screaming Me too! Me too! Me too!

And what game Politico is up to in all this, who knows. My guess is, it's just sloppiness. The first two stories were being hawked as "exclusives' (including the disappearing one), and read more like talking points from the McCain campaign than real news (seriously, they didn't catch that capital gains and dividend tax cuts are not exactly a pitch to the middle class?).

2. From the great kula2316, "The Anchorage Daily News editorial board has some harsh words for Sarah Palin and her "creative" interpretation of the Troopergate report."

Sarah Palin's reaction to the Legislature's Troopergate report is an embarrassment to Alaskans and the nation.
