The Us magazine cover story is filed under the URL slug
"sarah-palin-very-difficult-to-work-with". This particular smear job on
Sarah Palin was literally spoon fed to the magazine and bloggers on the left
by the Huffington Post that featured a hacked up YouTube version of the
interview that was edited to take Governor Palin out of context and make the
incident sound worse than it really was. (Full interview here)
...
But that synopsis left to stand on its own is woefully out of context. It
doesn't explain why the media suddenly loves a socially conservative
Republican insider that opposed reform nor does it honestly portray Sarah
Palin's conduct in the interview.
The interview focused around Lyda Green's attempt to delay the start of the
Senate's legislative session to coincide with the start time of Sarah
Palin's state of the state address. A month earlier Palin had requested and
received approval from the House for a special 6:00 p.m. start time so that
she could attend her son Track's Army boot camp graduation to the infantry.
Green was well aware of this fact and appeared to be stonewalling as some
sort of plan to make life difficult for Governor Palin. This became evident
as the excuses for not being able to make the 1:00 p.m. scheduled start of
the Senate legislative session began to fall apart. All of this was
explained by Palin in the full uneditied clip of her radio interview.
...
So what did Green think when she heard Palin was John McCain's vice
presidential candidate? "It's been very difficult to work with her," she
tells Us Weekly. "I wish there had been more vetting."
Monday, Palin released a statement confirming that her daughter Bristol,
17, was five-months pregnant.
See more shocking teen pregnancies.
Mom-of-five Palin is antiabortion (even in cases of rape) and opposed to
sex-education classes (she believes in abstinence instruction for teens).
In the wake of the announcement about Bristol, questions have begun to
arise about the governor's candor and McCain's judgment (The New York Times
reported that McCain's camp vetted Palin only the day before her selection
was announced.
"It's conceivable a 17-year-old girl just screwed the GOP," Democratic
strategist George Lakoff tells Us Weekly.
Though hailed by many family-values supporters for standing by her
daughter during her difficult time, Barbara Belknap, former president of the
National Organization of Women's Juneau chapter, is less glowing: "Here's a
textbook case of how abstinence - only doesn't work in practice, even if
your mom's the governor."
Yes, and here is a textbook case of political activism being perpetrated
upon the American public by an over the top supporter of Barack Obama.
Us Magazine reaches about 12 million readers, most of whom are female. As a
grocery checkout aisle fixture it will be seen by many more. Wenner, who is
also the publisher of Rolling Stone and Mens Journal is well aware of this.
It is only a matter of time before this twisted reality makes its way into
one if not both of his other publications.

Gee I wonder what the motivation for promoting these infuriating lies might
be?
