Wash Post's Marcus calls Palin's claim about death panels an "outrageous distortion"

Is the Press finally doing it's job? We can only hope so. Palintwit should be widely ridiculed for her asinine mewlings on this issue.

Right after Ruth Marcu said that, Republican shill Amy what's her name immediately defended Palin's remarks by paraphrasing a Bloomberg quote from Obama which was twisted and taken out of context. It went totally unchallenged. No one said a word. She then went on to accuse Democrats of beating up that guy at the Florida townhall. That was a blatant lie but the others gave no response, so it must be true. Mission accomplished. Two "neutral" journalists thought all the protesters were "real" and "genuinely outraged" and the press was doing a great job. A real fair and balanced panel. I'll not be wasting time on this drivel again.
What can be said about the buffoonery of Howard Kutz? What an odd man.

It does seem as if the press is finally catching on...could it be that they see the change coming??

She still gets coverage though. She is like the biased townhall coverage, you never know what will happen. Will she speak in riddles, say something asinine, wink ? She has a ready made audience (see Fox) but I wish they would cover her with the same seriousness associated with a Conan Obrien monologue.

Gee, do you think?

I mean, Palin should start respecting the troops and stop making things up like this gosh darn it.

“I join millions of Americans in expressing appreciation for the Senate Finance Committee’s decision to remove the provision in the pending health care bill that authorizes end-of-life consultations (Section 1233 of HR 3200),”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s amazing that this woman who ran as VP, was a governor and a mayor, has no idea how the house and senate work.

First of all BOTH the house AND senate are in recess, therefore it is IMPOSSIBLE for the Senate Finance Committee to make ANY decision about ANY bill OR for ANYTHING to be added or removed from ANY BILL…… …duh!!!!

The senate finance committee consists of……….

Democrats
MAX BAUCUS, MT
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER IV, WV
KENT CONRAD, ND
JEFF BINGAMAN, NM
JOHN F. KERRY, MA
BLANCHE L. LINCOLN, AR
RON WYDEN, OR
CHARLES E. SCHUMER, NY
DEBBIE STABENOW, MI
MARIA CANTWELL, WA
BILL NELSON, FL
ROBERT MENENDEZ, NJ
THOMAS CARPER, DE

republicans

CHUCK GRASSLEY, IA
ORRIN G. HATCH, UT
OLYMPIA J. SNOWE, ME
JON KYL, AZ
JIM BUNNING, KY
MIKE CRAPO, ID
PAT ROBERTS, KS
JOHN ENSIGN, NV
MIKE ENZI, WY
JOHN CORNYN, TX

There has been no announcement from this group of senators that they intend on removing ANYTHING from ANY bill.

Any one of these senators cannot speak for the entire committee about future “intentions” or “decisions” whilst they are in recess.

Secondly and most glaringly, ………. .(Section 1233 of HR 3200)….. ..HR…… …….for HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, NOT THE SENATE!

From her Facebook proclaimation, Palin assumes this is a senate bill, obviously.

It hasn’t gone to the senate yet!

IF a house bill had gone to the senate and decisions had been made about it, you would have known before the recess.

This is the stuff of 6-7th grade civics. Palin is not fooling anyone any more, she is intellectually void.

Be careful about media spin………CNN has spun this “victory” as fact and it reminds me why they are NOT “the most trusted name in news”

Also know as a lie.
