Hardball's Chris Matthews calls out GOP Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) for his petty jab at outgoing Majority Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Republican Party critics seem oblivious to their past misdeeds and any sense of decency in addressing the opposition party. BTW, the opposition is the Democratic Party -- not the non-existent democrat party. Why is Chris Matthews one of the few journalists to notice? How can the media continually let Republican propagandists off the hook without queries and pushback regarding the obvious lack of decorum?

![Spill Baby Spill Palin Blames Greenies
Washington, D.C. With the disastrous Gulf oil spill as a backdrop, Sarah Palin lies about her drill, baby, drill mantra championed by McCain-Palin 2008 and numerous Republicans including Rudy Giuliani and the entire 2008 GOP Republican National Convention. Palin is now claiming that she didnt mean offshore drilling which is totally opposite from the truth so much so that this example could be used to define lying.
From Media Matters: After lying about death panels, the Bridge to Nowhere, aerial hunting, and pretty much everything else shes known for, it should come as no surprise that half-term governor turned Fox News analyst Sarah Palin would lie about the mantra that came to define her ill-fated run for the vice presidency: Drill, baby, drill!
And lie she did heres Sarah Palin on Twitter wagging her digital finger at the Extreme Greenies regarding the Gulf oil spill: [S]ee now why we pushdrill,baby,drillof known reserves&promising finds in safe onshore places like ANWR? Now do you get it?
The message is clear: drill, baby, drill was never about dangerous offshore drilling like the Deepwater Horizon site, it was about safe onshore locations like ANWR. Except that it wasnt.
