The new hit job

The Atlantic, considered a very legitimate news source, has now been caught again in a blog smear job. The Weekly Standard nails them:

With the recognition of Woodward and Berstein waiting for any writer who is able to take down Palin or McCain, they are going to throw it all out there, hoping to be the first to find something. It is frankly eerie. As they run like savage wolves to kill her my gut tells me that this whole thing may get her (and obviously McCain) elected.

This same thing happened to Dan Quayle and Bush won 40 states. They went after the wrong guy (beat the living tar out of him though) Note:Palin is no Quayle, either. Palin may be the red flag that the media snorts after while McCain the matador watches them closely, all the while largely unscathed.
