Newspaper columnists give Gov. Palin dubious honor (AP)

AP - The National Society of Newspaper Columnists chose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as the winner of its annual Sitting Duck Award, a tongue-in-cheek honor that pokes fun at the most ridiculed newsmakers in the United States. » Full Story on Yahoo! News

This year it may be Palin, but I'll bet you the next 3 years will be Obama and/or Bieden.

How do we award newspaper editors this kind of award.

I am totally sick of the liberal bias of the op-press.

The media should have givem the honor to itself. Has anybody heard he latest scandal the Washington Post has tried to promote. It reared back and bit them square in the back side.

Our media is a joke! They cannot let Obama lose because they are "all in," for him. They have invested everything in this man. Truly sad how our media can no longer play a non-partisan role in reporting. Sure, they have always been biased but that is not enough anymore. Now they have sold out to the liberal party. Hey media, get off your knees. Barack pull your pants up. Lets run this damn country the right way. Socialism doesn't work read your history books. Or has the government done away with any non liberal readings in our school systems yet? They hate opposition so badly!

Yet the media swears it is not in the liberal tank! I am surprised they took time off from licking obama's face. The media is a farce.

It's not a "dubious" award, Yahoo. It is recognition of the disgusting manner in which the press mauled her during the campaingn, while minimizing Obama's teleprompter fiascos and Biden's verbal incontinence.

I say good luck to her; she will have my vote, my money, and my time on the campaign if she runs.

Sicko award. It means nothing, and is not worthy of even reading about. What trash.

The only reason she's been ridiculed is because of the press's media bias against her from the beginning. The news media has become a joke. Instead lets have more facts in our politics and less personal opinion. Her family has been attacked by the media too. I couldn't of put up with their crap as long as she has. I have no envy of the famous.

Since the award was conferred by the Democratic Party ass-kissers in chief, it is a high honor indeed.

The mere fact the newspaper editors awarded this honor on Palin instead of Blagojevich is a lighthouse beacon that shines on their bias. Objective journalism is not their idea of a mission statement!

I think Sarah Palin has just made her opening move for 2012 and I wish her great success.

The Dems are responsible for a lot of the jokes because they are very afraid Palin could be a contender and actually during the campaign made many of them look dishonest. They envy her for her truthfullness and fresh approach because theirs is so stale and senseless!

The media is bought and paid for by the White House. Anything they print had better be what Obama wants or he will have their job. Just remember they are all from Chicago and it's their way or the highway in this administration. I wouldn't doubt if this award was the brain child of Rohm or Axelrod. They run that show.

Why conservatives don't get the joke is beyond me. Liberals are not afraid of Palin , as you can see from this article, the woman is a national joke. You simply refuse to acknowledge it. Conservatives are only 21% of the voting public and sinking. Please please please nominate Palin so we can have landslide election for Obama!

It is incredible how someone thats honest, for family and for her state and country is looked down on. We have sold our souls for the double-tongued, gangster government, that is all for power and to line there own pockets. When someone with standards, morals and integrity steps into that arena they are the target of extreme hatred. This is what happens when our so called ivey league best and brightest control government, courts and education. WAKE UP AMERICA!!

Palin is such a hypocrite. Looks can't obscure incompetence. If she thinks smart people will vote for her she's stupid! Even her own party groans when they hear her name. If she is ever nominated by the Republicans it will show how desperate they've become. Her 15 minutes has reached an hour but people will soon tire of her.

"You betch ya..." there is more to this story than what Palin is telling. My guess is that someone has a big fat embarrassing tale on Ms Palin and she is getting out why the getting out is good... hmmmm can't wait to hear the next chapter...

If any desires it this nut job does. She is dead weight on our party and she and those like her will keep us out in the wilderness for a long time.
Her, Rush and other idiotic talking heads make our party seem old and out of ideas.
