It was in the conservative Washington Times in late July....before they agreed to her.
It was reported in Time Magazine in Mid August and they did not object even then.
Once again I guess, John McCain, who agreed Ifill was fine yesterday, does not speak for his own campaign.

Article - quote is warren buffett:
And he singled out Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair for particular praise for her work dealing with recent crises at Washington Mutual (WM, Fortune 500) and Wachovia (WB, Fortune 500). Washington Mutual collapsed and, in a deal brokered by the FDIC, was immediately sold to JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500). Similarly, regulators orchestrated the sale of Wachovia's banking assets to Citigroup (C, Fortune 500) in order to prevent a failure there.
"In my book she stands higher than any CEO I know of in America today," he said, a statement met by applause by the women executives attending the Summit. To top of page

Want to see $85 billion of taxpayer dollars disappear in a day?
Watch what happens if AIG decides to file bankruptcy.
This should give you some indication how Palin debates. Someone who has debated her 20 times say she usually generalizes her answers, and bluffs her way out of it...

Now I have heard it all! McCain now blaming LIFE for his falling poll numbers. This just about tops crazy McCain's whole thought process, blame the press, blame the voters, blame life in general. McCain needs a dose of reality, his poll numbers are falling because Obama is a better candidate and doesn't need gimmicks to get elected.
(CNN) – John McCain said Thursday that Barack Obama’s poll numbers are rising as the economy seems to sink "because life isn’t fair.”
“He certainly did nothing for the first few days,” McCain told Fox News Thursday. "I suspended my campaign, took our ads down, came back to Washington, met with the House folks and got on the phone, and also had face-to-face meetings.”

And it’s You John makin’ it spin

I'm ready with my popcorn for the show tonight.
Faux outrage = cheap publicity.
they're using what they've got.
nothing.
We should trust Paulson with $700 billion of taxpayer dollars?
Remember Paulson loaned $85 billion of taxpayer dollars AIG. AIG owes $20 billion to Goldman Sachs.
Guess what happens if AIG files for banruptcy (which they can and may very well do any day, check with Harry Reid). Want to watch $85 billion of taxpayer dollars lost in one day? Since the governent dollars are unsecured, that is what will happen if AIG files bankruptcy. Goldman Sachs' $20 billion of debt will get paid
before the taxpayers will get repaid their $85 billion outlay in bankruptcy.
What creditor other then the governent trying to protect Goldan Sach's $20 billion exposure to AIG debt would loan a company $85 billion without being the most senior debtholder?
Put that in you pipe and soke it when considering whether $700 billion more should go out the taxpayers' door.
Mac and Fannie Mae?
Also, a couple of more questions. Can AIG can still file for bankruptrcy relief? If yes, please confirm or deny that the taxpayer's $85 million dollars is subordinate to, inferior to and will be paid after Goldman Sach's at least $20 million secured position in AIG.

I am sure the Rethuglican spinners are all ready, to try and influence the press, into thinking that Palin did a magnificient job. People are so dumb in this country, all she has to do is turn up, and say a few words for them to be impressed.
the difference with the Alaska debates which were more roundtable discussions and she had notes, and this, is she has to be much more extemporaneous.

Now? Seems John only stands for the place that he's not.
Wow.
And, by his own testimony, he's not rich. I sure do wish I was "not rich" to the degree that John McCain is not rich.
Now? Seems John only stands for the place that he's not.
Wow.
An M4 machine gun sent to Iraq by the Blackwater private security firm somehow disappeared from the company's storage facility in Baghdad and was later discovered during a US military operation, apparently against suspected insurgents, people familiar with the situation have told ABC News.
The incident, in 2006, has been kept secret until now but it raised more questions about Blackwater's operations in Iraq.
Allegations that Blackwater shipped weapons and silencers to Iraq without proper licensing are already under investigation by a federal grand jury in North Carolina, according to people familiar with the case.

Secrets, secrets and more secrets. I'll be so glad when the Bush regime comes to an end. I'm so glad the media is finally reporting some of this shit.
M4s are used by special ops for close combat fighting, given the shorter barrel and more stopping power than HK series of submachine guns with 9mm rounds. (unless they used hollow point or soft tip rounds, which are against the Hague convention for warfare)
But as long as I am here, word has it that Sarah will attack Biden with a bunch of canned right wing attacks learned in her recent VP 101 debate crash course. This may be. I can't help but wonder if a woman who has demonstrated abject stupidity expressing herself thus far will sound even remotely credible in her new shoes tonight? To what extent will she attack? What will happen when she needs to defend her attacks?
Biden should debate her with the same vigor of any VP nominee. To do less would be an insult to the office and to women.
McCain and his campaign are hedging their bets if Palin flames out at the debate, and my guess he is stating this now, means the prep work may had not gone that well. They are just planting a talking point to hammer if Palin blows it, and they are going to use Ifil as their piñata.
Ifil is one of the top journalist in this country. She has shown countless times that she is truly a professional. Personally, The Repubs want to replace her and put Katrina vanden Heuvel as the moderator, so they can kick and scream on the post debate whine.
As long as there is no real pushback of consequence in society for behavior, it doesn't matter. Flat contradictions of fact and of opinion occuring with pretence that no contradictions occured is now within the acceptable limits of political discourse in America. The Bush presidency has moved the bar of truth lower.
