CSHOD Award for 11/18/09

The CSHOD Award for today is a unit citation, bestowed upon the group of shit-heads at the Associated Press.

With, by my estimation, at least 4,000 things to which they could better turn their efforts, the AP found it necessary to filch a copy of Sarah Palin's new book (Going Rogue: An American Life) before it's release and devote 11 reporters to "fact-checking" its 432 pages. That's roughly one reporter for every 40 pages...to "fact-check".

The fact-checking would be easier to swallow if the AP could be counted on to distinguish fact from fiction, but that is a 50-50 bet at best, and would likely come in at even worse odds than that. And why didn't the AP feel it necessary to fact-check either of Hussein's books (if he even wrote them, which I doubt), or books by such giants of literature as Screaming Joe Biden, Ted "One-for-the-Road" Kennedy, or either of the Clintons, better known as Bill & Hill Lovebirds. I might suggest it's because they're all Democrats, but I'd have to fact-check that first. Ah, what the hell...I'm going to go ahead and say, "It's because they're Democrats."

I'll be the first to admit, I had mixed feelings about Sarah Palin. I liked her and thought her personable and honest, but wasn't sure if she was the right fit for the GOP at the moment. But I'll also say this: the fact that she still scares the bejeezus out of the liberals is making me like her more and more each day. Guess I'll have to read her book, and find out more about her. Do my own "fact-checking".
