Ah, yes. The MOMMY WARS and the PARENTAL POLICE.

Columnists in the mainstream media, who ordinarily would not dare to question the premise that mothers should be able to work and aspire to successful careers, are now the parental police, probing into how it is Palin will attend to her duties as a mother. Social conservatives meanwhile have been cast in the unusual role of defending a non-stay-at-home mom and fending off suggestions that Palin should — how did Hillary Clinton put it? — stay in the kitchen and bake cookies.

Sarah Palin, you’ve come along way, baby.

Flap asks:

• What attack except the MSM media feeding frenzy?

• What new embarassing surprises?

• What lies?

• What scandal?

These people are NUTS.

Update:

The Sarah Palin media “feeding frenzy’ has reached crescendo levels and now Team McCain and the GOP are pushing back.

Sen. John McCain’s top campaign strategist accused the news media Tuesday of being “on a mission to destroy” Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin by displaying “a level of viciousness and scurrilousness” in pursuing questions about her personal life.

In an extraordinary and emotional interview, Steve Schmidt said his campaign feels “under siege” by wave after wave of news inquiries that have questioned whether Palin is really the mother of a 4-month-old baby, whether her amniotic fluid had been tested and whether she would submit to a DNA test to establish the child’s parentage.

Arguing that the media queries are being fueled by “every rumor and smear” posted on left-wing Web sites, Schmidt said mainstream journalists are giving “closer scrutiny” to McCain’s little-known running mate than to Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

But, what else is new? The traditional MSM news organizations are LEFT WING all of the time and are in the tank for the Democrat Party and Barack Obama. Remember the John Edward’s story that the MSM ignored for years? Even while Edwards was running for the Presidency?

This is not news but a fact.

Why does anyone think talk radio, Fox News and the RIGHT blogosphere developed?

The LEFT feels threatened by the McCain-Palin team and will do anything and everything to destroy them, including pursuading and perverting MSM news organizations to spread the smears.

Get used to it – more is coming.

Here is an example:

The media feeding frenzy over Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol has been astoundingly vicious and relentless. All network television news shows are leading with “questions” regarding her appointment, vetting, family, etc. etc. ad nauseum – all talking points from Obama surrogates and the left-wing blogs.

Will this be a distraction for Team McCain or frame the MSM “desperate” bias against the GOP? Will American voters rebel against the “dirt seeking” media and will the celebrity scrutiny create sympathy for Sarah Palin?

Stay tuned……..
