McCain concedes race to Obama and congratulates him!
I'm not the one posting already debunked bull****.
I don't follow everything on the internets about Palin (but I should've caught the comment about Bradley running for the Senate). Teh horror. I explicitly said that some of these rumors about Palin aren't credible earlier in the thread. That doesn't mitigate your pathetic comment.

You couldn't be bothered to read any of the comments on that TNR post you linked to? They started poking holes in the story 5 posts in. Hopefully this lesson will serve to make you a little less credulous in the future.
Your post is long-winded and of marginal interest to me. You throw out words like "bias" and when called on using them in a pejorative sense proceed to define them in such a way that they are indistinguishable from "judgment". You've chosen to restrict the idea of "evidence" to that permitted in formal courtroom settings. In other words, it is clear that you are in the mood to substitute sophistry and pedantry for original analytic thought.
When you decide to change your tactics feel free to let me know.

No, because I didn't care very much about that specific incident. It was an off-hand comment I had just read in the TNR blog. It's not like that passage was all that out of character from everything else that has been written about her.
You really don't have to be such an ass in every post you make.

Drake, do you mind at least applying some critical thought before posting?
I've never even heard of Eisenstadt, let alone attributed any of these stories to him. Nor has the original reporter on this (Cameron IIRC) claimed Eisenstadt as one of his sources.
A false claim by a third party to be the source of a story cannot have any effect on the plausibility of the story.
No. In civilized society, you don't throw around insults for not having read the bits of trivia that you've read.
A large percentage of which is false...
And a large percentage of the embarrassing **** is probably true. There's the Couric interview for all the world to see.

I never claimed you had any opinion on the new Eisenstadt hoax angle. I just wanted to tweak you again since I so rarely get a chance to do it.
Tweak me on what? As far as I can tell there's been nothing new which impacts the plausibility of this story since the limp-wristed denials by Palin and her debate coach made it appear more plausible than the original claims by themselves did.
I think you're being quite unfair to Palin because you don't like her and want to believe anything bad that comes out about her. Just like MSNBC and TNR.

One verbal slip-up is not evidence that Palin doesn't know who's in NAFTA, just like Chris Matthews calling Africa a "country" on TV tonight doesn't mean that he actually doesn't know it's a continent. You're applying an inordinately severe standard to Palin's behavior that you (and other reasonable people) don't apply to other public figures.
