1. Well, in all fairness ...

Obama is an intelligent individual who happens to be President of the United States.

Palin is a moron who quit her last job when it got to be too hard.

So, it's not a fair comparison. :evilgrin:

2. 80000-1000 seems like the right ratio indeed ;)

*sigh*

4. But wait, I learned from the media....

that everyone is sick of foreign born Socialist Obama, and that Palin is a very serious political force in the country, and that the Tea Party is gonna take over the world!!

7. UM not MS of course. Had to check.

This is why UM is referred to as The University of Michigan.

12. I am always able to find another channel when she spoils the one I'm watching.

It is extra wear and tear on my remote, but it's much easier on my ears. She has the kind of voice that kept silent picture stars from transitioning to the talkies.

The combination of that voice with the smarmy affectations and the ignorant blather makes for a uniquely toxic presentation.

9. So the author of the article first says Obama will be addressing "thousands" to

Palin's "more than a thousand" when a more accurate description of Obama's crowd would be "tens of thousands" or even "nearly 100 thousand."

14. No Biggy - Just Count On The Fox News Media Multiplier

Just take the crowd and multiply by a factor of 10 times the coverage.
