This is low, even by CNN standards.....
CNN Places Sarah Palin With 2008's Criminals, Sex Addicts, and the Corrupt- NewsBusters
Showing they have no sense of morality, no grasp of corruption and no understanding of what defines a criminal, CNN gives us another one of those ubiquitous year in review stories, this one titled "Politicians who fell from grace in 2008." In this one, CNN has decided to reveal for us their top eight politicians that found 2008 to be a "career-buster" because of their "crimes and misdemeanors" or their outrageous controversies.
Rob Blagojevich (D-IL)-Caught in a criminal bribe taking pay-to-play scheme to sell Barack Obama's senate seat to the highest bidder
John Edwards(D-NC)- Had an affair with an underling as his wife was dying of cancer, an affair he hid from public knowledge as he ran for president
Kwame Kilpatrick (D-MI)- Sentenced to 4 months in jail for obstruction of justice for impeding a criminal investigation into his actions as Detroit's mayor
Larry Langford (D-AL)- Birmingham, Alabama mayor arrested on charges of bribery, fraud, money laundering and filing a false income tax statement
Tim Mahoney (D-FL)- Replaced sex crazed Rep. Mark Foley in Florida while hiding his own extra-marital affairs from the voters, then lost his bid for reelection once the truth came out
Elliot Spitzer (D-NY)- Caught with a prostitute, lost his job as governor of New York
Ted Stevens (R-AK)- Faces jail for bribery and making false statements to the feds
(Update 1/5/08 4:00pm EST) Several people just noticed Palin is no longer on CNN's list. And in typical pussy-liberal style, there is no explanation, she's just gone.....

No William Jefferson or Charlie Rengel? How about Stuart Smiley failing to pay his employees health insurance for FOUR years?

if you follow the links now, it looks like CNN removed Palin's name.

They probably tried to force Palin's name in there just to try to keep the numbers even. As it is, there are seven democrats and one republican in the list. Anybody want to guess if that is statistically significant or not?

Here there Mister Zippidy Doo Da man.....
Any plans to go out and buy Ann Coulter's new book since she has been banned for life at nbc?
I pray that she runs Gov. Pallin's Presidential campaign. Please...oh pretty pretty please.
I'm on a mission to buy that damn book. It has to be pure GOLD.

The obvious lack of "R's" tells all. They needed one more just to appear fair and balanced. The truth be damned.

Cowards.
But what do you expect from an organization that employs/promotes the hag Christina Amanpour?
