Author of Us Weekly cover story on Palin: I’m voting McCain!

A liberal wouldn’t lie to us would she?

Hopefully there aren’t any more Palin and McCain supporters at Us.

Are you calling Governor Palin a Road Hunter? I resent that.

I don’t think writers have any control over cover content. Correct me if I’m wrong.

You are correct. Writers also don’t have any control over the headlines attached to their stories.

I haven’t read the story so I can’t attest to it’s content, but she didn’t have anything to do with anything that appeared on the cover. It’s the jackass editor who is to be blamed for making it appear that the Palins, not the KOS Kids, are lying liars, and clearly that was done intentionally.

The facts were out there, and there was no way to sugar-coat them. All I could do was address the relevant issues — and, most importantly, remember the readers’ needs.

Then why didn’t you report the fact that Todd Palin’s DUI occured 20 plus years ago, rather than just mentioned that he had a DUI in the past? All we got were half-truths.

I’d rather read it myself than rely on Megyn Kelly’s humiliation of that tool yesterday for a rundown of what Us considers “relevant issues”

I’ve watched Megyn Kelly for a long time now and have no problem giving her the benefit of the doubt, based on her history. Besides, the a$$clown of the editor-in-chief never denied Kelly’s quotes from the article.
A lame explanation. And the article was only half the problem. The mag cover was the other half.

Waste of energy, imho.

In this case, I believe it means: To slew or cheat an online poll by repeatedly voting (clearing cookies, using proxies) or to make a blog appear to be commented by numerous posters by the same means. (From the practices of the Free Republic or “freepers”)

PS: Try UrbanDictionary.com in the future; at 57, it helps me a lot.

Guess I thought this was the US weekly editor.

Offer to hold her down and have Megan Kelly shave her head stands.

Never allow yourself to draw comparisons to the Spears family.

“Allow yourself.” Somehow I think if Sarah Palin kept her oldest daughter locked up in the basement or forced her to get an abortion, people would have a problem with that too.

moby – An insidious and specialized type of left-wing troll who visits blogs and impersonates a conservative for the purpose of either spreading false rumors intended to sow dissension among conservative voters, or who purposely posts inflammatory and offensive comments for the purpose of discrediting the blog in question. The term is derived from the name of the liberal musician Moby, who famously suggested in February of 2004 that left-wing activists engage in this type of subterfuge: “For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you’re an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion. Then you go to an anti-immigration Web site chat room and ask, ‘What’s all this about George Bush proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?’” The strategy has been frequently attempted on LGF and elsewhere, but has not been nearly as effective as Moby envisioned, since false rumors are easily debunked by fact-checking minions, and cartoonishly extreme commenters often get immediately identified as mobys and banned from LGF.

I’ll believe he’s voting McCain on the day he lets Megan Kelly hold him down and shave his head.

She’s being snarky about birth control, but what she really means is abortion. She’s just too scared to come right out and say it in this case.

And why is the Left abandoning equal rights for women? Do they really think that the way to garner more votes is to say that women with children must stay at home? I guess a few more abortions would have qualified Sarah in her eyes.

And invoking Schiavo? I hate to draw a solid conclusion from a few columns, but she sure seems comfortable with death. It’s downright creepy, in fact.

My question is, what the hell is a Republican doing working for Us Weekly?

… or writing for the Huffington Post, for that matter.

Didn’t she just get nominated last night? Officially, she’s not on the ticket until a procedural tonight.

Matthews is a tool. He’s a child. Just saw a weak Obama ad in Ohio–all bias aside. Rudy’s up next on Hardball.

First of all, I don’t ‘trust’ the promised McCain vote.
Secondly, he/she only said that so the mag could sell even more copies.

Fergit it.

Excellent!

Not lower on the pole types. No.

Higher ones are usually made to do the work even if they disagree.

Ohhh, she’s from New York City. That explains it.

*glances around for AllahPundit to come out swinging*

Megyn Kelly, Attorney General.

Yep! And keep Perino. And give about 4-6 more FoxBabes cabinet positions.

Viola! Hotness and Change!

…Kelly practiced law as a corporate litigator.

Kelly earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Syracuse University and a J.D. from Albany Law School, where she also served as editor of the Albany Law Review.

Kelly eviscerates Hollywood empty suits like a barracuda on steroids.
