So Governor Schweitzer made what appears to be an insider’s joke when addressing trial lawyers. Not my kind of humor, but then I didn’t think Tropic Thunder was funny either. What’s interesting is now how the right has reacted, but rather how they react lockstep, as if they all gather around a fire the night before and decide to write about something (among other activities). Check this out. And, this, this, and this. And never out of step, this one.
They’re so predictable. They tripped over each other racing to embrace the remarkably average-yet-pretty Sarah Palin. They all pretend that John McCain’s walker is really a fighter plane. When needlers began to make fun of Obama as a messiah, they failed the originality test and jumped on board.
The lipstick-on-a-pig fiasco was interesting not because it told us anything about the candidates or had any deep significance. It merely demonstrated the power the right has to control news – they all shout in unison. Here in Montana, where we don’t matter, right wing blogs tend to do the same thing.
It’s kind of boring.
Piece of Mindful 
Gee mark, I went my list of “right wing blogs” to try and find any mention the Palin pig lipstick affair and guess what, no mention.
When I peruse the left side of the MT blogasphere, I find all have Palin hit pieces, some have a half dozen by the same author.
Who is speaking in unison?

I didn’t say that the Montana blogs did the lipstick thing. They are all doing the Schweitzer thing. Read attentively.

Swede, don’t be a git. No left wing Montana websites are, or have written at all, about Palin/lipstick/pig. Many of of us have written about Palin/lipstick/pitbull … because she was the idiot who said it. You got a problem with left-wing blogs pointing out that you support an idiot? Please, by all means, show us what your issue is …
And, since you won’t be able to accomplish even that, please kindly show us how Mark is wrong that the Montana right is truly in lockstep for accusing the Governor of a crime there is no proof of …

Happy to refine.
Even with the Gov.’s misspeak and the MT rights blogs attention, you guys all howl in unison.
