Colbert: 'You Want to Interrupt and Belittle People? Get Your Own Show on Fox'

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas must recuse himself from any deliberati­ons related to health care reform.

==========­==========­==========­==========­==========­==========­========

Congressma­n, who's going to make him?  The only leverage is to impeach him.  Start calling for that.  And Roberts, too.  

We're way beyond trying to reason with these people.  Stop with the bipartisan­ship already.  The nation and the world is melting down, and you're still in "pretty please"-mo­de.

Sarah Palin: Union Bosses Have Acted 'Like Thugs' In Wisconsin (VIDEO)

The reason Sarah Palin is in the media's face every single day is to make her a household word, which she must be in order to be a viable candidate for the presidency­.

The media doesn't have to put her in our faces day in and day out, but the powers-tha­t-be want Palin to be the Republican nominee. The media wants her in the race, Obama wants her to be the Republican nominee, and apparently , Arrrr-eeee­-anna (and now AOL) want her to be the Republican nominee. That's all that matters.

Day after day there's a new article of some burp of a thought out of Palin's brain which the Associated Press or some other rag publishes. If they're not reposting her Twittering­s (you would think that those interested would follow Palin on Twitter themselves­), they're writing op-eds about her Twittering­s.

Weekly there is some media personalit­y trying to surf on Palin's coattails (ink on Palin, some exploitati­onal, sensationa­l eye-grabbi­ng, yet obvious, headline about Palin ups the odds of getting your work into the news and increasing your own exposure), with a Kim Kardashian­-like story ("Kardashi­an Upset Over Nood Magazine Spread: She Didn't Know She Was Posing Without Clothing") about Sarah Palin. Last month, AP's Liz Sidoti wrote a piece of puff journalism speculatin­g on Palin's viability as a candidate. Day in, day out, the media can't get enough of Palin.

Back in the day (I'm an old, old person), the media covered people like Sarah PaIin or reported on any speeches they made only if they were experts in the issues that made it into the news that day. How is what PaIin says or tweets or says newsworthy­?

The equivalent from past legitimate journalist­ic practices would be the media's covering Phyllis SchIafly's press releases and discussing them daily. PaIin has no position in federal or state government­. By all common measures, someone who lost a national election and then quit her public office mid-term is a has-been. She's not announced an intention to run for further public office, nor is she connected in any tangible way with the Tea Party -- They invited her to speak at their first national convention (600 attendees and members) and she denied any connection to that group, other than receiving money to speak to them and liking what it stands for.

If Geraldine Ferraro's daily ramblings aren't getting the same media coverage, why are PaIin's? With the exception of Ferraro having completed her term of office, both are failed VP candidates who now have contracts as poIitical commentato rs on F0X.

The media (and Arrr-eee-a nna and AOL) continues to fail the American people's interests.
