Ross Douthat ends the day the way he started it

July 06, 2009 5:29 pm ET by Jamison Foser

MSNBC's Hardball has featured two journalists talking about Sarah Palin, followed by two conservatives talking about Sarah Palin. Not involved: Progressives.

And New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, fresh off an awfully generous assessment of Palin, took advantage of the fact that there wasn't a liberal guest opposite him, making the absurd comparison of criticism of Palin to the way the Clintons were "hunted" by political opponents in the 1990s.

You'll let me know when a member of Congress shoots up his vegetable garden in an effort to prove Palin killed a close friend, won't you, Ross?

      Not Involved: Progressives. Howard Fineman is so far left, no "progressives" were needed.

        "Far left"? This incorrect assessment is clearly coming from a dittohead, so that it almost makes sense.

          How many republicans do you think Olberman will have on tonight? I am sure he will have Fineman on however, and I have never heard him disagree or challenge KO on anything. Face it, he is as far left as they come.

            You've been on this site before, right? The people here are what "left" looks like (let alone "far left"). Notice how different Fineman is from the people here.

            Hint: to find out if someone is liberal, see if they say liberal things.
