More Palin Bashing - Biased BBC

More Palin Bashing: "When Barack Obama was mocked recently for addressing a sixth grade class, and later a committee meeting, with teleprompters present, did the BBC report it? No.
When he was mocked recently for repeatedly mispronouncing 'Navy corpsman' as 'Navy corpse-man' at the National Prayer Breakfast, did the BBC report it? No.
When he was mocked recently for saying, 'The Middle East is a problem that has plagued the region for centuries', a line right up there with any Bushism, did the BBC report it? No.

But Sarah Palin jots a few words on her hand and already the BBC has responded with two news articles (neither of which finds space to mention Palin's amusing 'Hi Mom' response to the media frenzy). No doubt broadcast versions of BBC news have also covered the story with equal glee.

Unfortunately for all the rabid Palin-haters at the BBC and elsewhere, the repeated attacks on her don't appear to be doing her any harm within the increasingly influential Tea Party movement. I like the House of Dumb description of Palin as Roadrunner and her detractors as Wile E Coyote:

Every single time they think they've totally nailed her, they somehow end up under the boulder while Sarah disappears in the distance.

Update 7pm. Some neat reactions from Monica Crowley and Sean Hannity and guests (hat tips Jack and John in the comments). And here's an earlier Hannity on Gibbs.

And in related news, here's Vagina Monologues author Eve Ensler on the Jo Behar Show on Monday, showing us all just how much more intelligent she is than Sarah Palin:

ENSLER: Well, I just think the idea that she doesn't believe in global warming is bizarre.
BEHAR: Every scientist at every note believes in it but Sarah Palin doesn't believe in it.
ENSLER: And I think we just kind of have to walk around the world at this point and look at what is happening to nature and earthquakes and tsunamis.

Global warming = earthquakes and tsunamis. I wonder how many luvvie actresses who have appeared in Ensler's play over the years have slagged off Palin for being stupid.

[I'm sure our old friend Scott will be keen to report this story in The Stage. Suggestions welcome for the headline. I'll set things rolling with 'The Vagina Dumbalogues' and 'All About Eve (Stupid Bitch)']
