We have fifteen
months to go until the U.S. presidential election, plenty of time for quotable
quotes, debate gaffes and such from the eventually culled list of candidates.
We the electorate can endure that long process, but must we also endure the
often silly media coverage? I never thought I would agree about anything with
Sarah Palin (who has delivered a bonanza of quotable quotes), but her repeated
references to “the lame stream media” have recently rung a bell with me, though probably not for
the same reason.
