#1 What a waste of time to read. Can't believe you have this much time to devote to a no news subject.

#2 "Can't believe you have this much time to devote to a no news subject."

Apparently you have the time to devote to it too, Brown, since you read it (or said you did).

Pot, Kettle.

#3 The news, Brownasaur, is not what Palin said, in fact, it's not about Palin at all. It's not even about what I said.

It's about a well-known newspaper devoting a whole page to smear a politician they hate, not by dealing with facts, but by creating and then demolishing straw men.

They dishonestly hide behind the name of the column - suggesting as the "Fact Checker" that they - and only they - are dealing in facts. Go see how many times the 'Fact Checker' column had anything negative to say about the President - this president. Mostly, they "check facts" on his opponents.

You, my friend, thought reading more about the person you fear was a waste of your time. You missed the boat.

#4 Overall, the MSM meme for the upcoming campaign is Obama does everything right, and his opponents are always wrong and ridiculous. This WaPo Pinocchio column is a prime example.
