Few things strike me so absurdly one-sided that they should be pointed at and mocked as an example to others of how not to cry about defeat in an election as the website howobamagotelected.com. Despite my own political opinions, this is just absurd from many viewpoints and Sarah Palin should be trying to distance herself from this video, if she really does have any future political aspirations.

Let's start with the most obvious thing. Ziegler began by appearing on Fox News to complain about how the media was opinionated and one-sided against Sarah Palin. Really? And on the Hannity and Colmes show no less? Do you not see how funny and absurd this is? I don't think anyone is even trying to deny that Hannity isn't a hard leaning pundit for his party while Combs does little to actually stand up against him as "the opposition opinion".

Second, Ziegler seems to ignore the fact that when Sarah Palin first hit the spotlight at the Republican National Convention, before anyone knew her background or knowledge base for the office she was running for, she was boasted as the Republican darling who gave a great speech and was going to be a huge threat to the Democratic chances in November. She was going to bring life back into the McCain campaign and it did have the Democrats nervous for a short time.

Third, Ziegler could have easily found many of the same comments from the Republican side, attacking Obama and Biden over the course of the campaign. But more to the point, he could find many offensive remarks from the Republican biased media against Hillary Clinton over the last four years. he knows this, his colleagues know this and, yet, he is trying to sell a documentary to bring to light the "unfair treatment Sara Palin was given by the media". Really? It doesn't matter what your views on Hillary Clinton are, you have to at least see the hypocrisy in ignoring this fact, while pointing it out for Palin.
