Jennifer Rubin has an excellent article up at Pajamas Media explaining why President Obama is likely so desirous to have Gatesgate swept under the rug via a meaningless photo-op “beer meeting” between him, Gates, and Sgt. Crowley. Excerpts:
Ed Morrissey has a good commentary and video this morning of Sarah Palin’s resignation speech over the weekend in which she thanked supporters and took several good shots at the MSM, warning them to leave incoming Governor Sean Parnell’s family alone and to “quit makin’ things up.”
With so many pro-Obama/anti-conservative columns under his belt, after reading this, I’d say his transformation is officially complete. In a “conversation” he had with fellow NYT (liberal) columnist Gail Collins, he said:

Even if you aren’t a sports fan, you’ve probably already heard about the video that was made of ESPN sideline sports commentator Erin Andrews while she was naked in a hotel room. It was a video done through the peephole of 2 different hotel rooms, according to reports, and without her knowledge nor consent. She and her lawyers are taking the appropriate steps towards legal action towards the despicable person(s) responsible for making and publishing the (approximately five minute) video in the first place – once investigators get a good lead on who it/they might be. There is wild speculation that the video may have been an inside job, made by someone who works with her at ESPN, since the network would know her work schedule better than anyone else.
Two stories to draw your attention to on this hazy Friday evening:
