Hey folks, I wanted to share my latest column with everyone here at MyDD -- a review of Bernard Goldberg's latest book, "A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media". If you like what you see, feel free to recommend this diary and share it with your friends.

That certainly didn't take long. Just shy of a week after Barack Obama took the oath of office, becoming America's 44th president, the nation's foremost right-wing publishing house has released a new tome by Bernard Goldberg that seeks to trash the supposedly liberal "mainstream media" for being in the tank for Obama.

The three-ringed circus of liberal media bias cryptozoology is nothing new for Goldberg. He's been part of this factually challenged freak show for years. This isn't even his first book on the subject -- he wrote 2001's creatively titled, Bias.

Question: What's wrong with this paragraph from yesterday's Wall Street Journal opinion piece?

In light of the collapse of Fannie and Freddie, both John McCain and Barack Obama now criticize the risk-tolerant regulatory regime that produced the current crisis. But Sen. McCain's criticisms are at least credible, since he has been pointing to systemic risks in the mortgage market and trying to do something about them for years. In contrast, Sen. Obama's conversion as a financial reformer marks a reversal from his actions in previous years, when he did nothing to disturb the status quo. -- Blame Fannie Mae and Congress, WSJ 9/23/08

Answer: The first sentence is true. Everything else in that paragraph is a lie.

Back when I was still home, I used to love getting into primary battles with the girl I used to work with. Me for Obama, her for Hillary. It was all in jest. Everyone knew in the end we'd vote for the same candidate, no matter which Democrat is was.

At least that's what I thought. Sarah Palin has become the shiny new object in front of every stupid person's eyes, even this girl I used to work with apparently, because she is "such an inspiration", she has inspired her to not only hate Obama, but hate the other Democrat she used to support too.

If the Sarah Palin choice says anything about John McCain, outside of his utter contempt for the American people, it is that he has become a WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT.

This choice means that he has become ' their boy' without hesitation.

If this were about choosing a Republican WOMAN, there were plenty other choices of GOP women.

But, this wasn't about that.

This was about selling out to the Religious Right, because Palin is THEIR GIRL.

I love politics; like Forest Gump said, it's "...like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get."

Well, last night it was Kucinich introducing 35 Articles of Impeachment against Chimpy.

Today, Obama goes right into the lion's den of neoconservativism: the conservative Christian community.

According to various news reports, it appears that our Party's presumptive nominee is leaving no stone unturned in his think-outside-of-the-box run for the Presidency.
