    Judge Sotomayor's non-voting record is far more shocking than some reporter's.

    In reply to Bob Woodward, Nixon Man
    From All The President's Men, published in 1974:


    "Woodward, a registered Republican, did not vote. He couldn't decide whether he was more uneasy with the disorganization and naive idealism of McGovern's campaign or with Richard Nixon's conduct. And he believed that not voting enabled him to be more objective in reporting on Watergate- a view Bernstein regarded as silly."


    Oh, yes. Big news.

    @ipaidipod: I'm forced to guess at what your point is.


    Hamilton Nolan had a point when he said that it's hard not to form an opinion of who's better when you're a reporter. Especially in the last election. That was a pretty clear decision, wasn't it?


    Furthermore, Woodward is confused, which doesn't jive with his status as a highly respected legend in journalism. He confuses objectivity with journalistic integrity and transparency. Just to make it clear, let me outline the difference: Your objectivity is instrumental in your being able to pick a side to vote for, your journalistic integrity requires you to be fair to both parties even after having done so and your transparency requires you to be upfront your reasons for having done everything. That's my definition of a good journalist. Woodware conflates everything into one term, which makes it completely meaningless.

    @ChillbearLatrigue: Joan Didion has his number. From Political Fictions:
    "What seems most remarkable in this new Woodward book is exactly what seemed remarkable in the previous Woodward books, each of which was presented as the insiders' inside story and each of which went on to become a number-one bestseller: these are books in which measurable cerebral activity is virtually absent."

    There were literally buses in NYC driving people to swing states to register and vote for Obama. It was openly encouraged on the internet and in posters around college campuses in New York. I had college professors encouraging us to drive to swing states to register. This is so absurd that liberals would give Ann Coulter crap for joining in on the fun.

    It's beyond sad. Not even smart enough to figure out where she's legally allowed to vote and yet full of venom about other people not meeting her standards intellectually. Oh well, maybe she'll get her wish and terrorists will attack New York or assassinate U.S. politicians like she wants them to.

    I heard Obama is a Muslimoid, too. He's not really born in the US. His birth certificate was faked by a secret group of Nation of Islam Freemasons -- who have been appointed as his shadow cabinet. They meet in the basement of the Pentagon, where OBama is secretly plotting to have the Cube of Mecca transferred in order to begin Step Five of his secret plan to turn Ameirca into a Socialist Islamo-state. I read that on the Internet, so just try to debate me, bitches!

    We should be investigating Acorn voter fraud, Obama's mysterious online campaign contributions, and all his shady friends (Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, etc.) Coulter doesn't hold an office so she doesn't really matter.

    @Jason Foster: Actually, Jason Foster, I'm sure TorrentFreak's view of Bill Ayers comes right off a Fox newscrawl. Besides It's WAY too soon for Republicans to begin accusing me and others of holding Obama to a different standard. We're going to be spending the next decade cleaning up the mess of the previous administration. Right now what the GOP needs to be doing is sitting in the corner with the dunce caps on, reflecting on the past eight years, licking their wounds.

    This sounds like voting equivalent of photoshopping. Yes it's fraud in that what we see on paper is not reflective of reality but there's still one head, one body. The only reason I see to go after her is, assuming she really does believe in the Golden Rule, she's asked for it.


    Speaking of photoshopping, that arm on the left looks like it might be living in a different state than the one in which it's voting . . .
