One would think that the anti-corporatist ideals of the Occupy Wall Street movement would receive some safe harbor on Real Time with Bill Maher, and one would be correct that their ideology gelled entirely with the audience. But before Alan Grayson passionately stood up as a spokesman for their cause, the panel spent a fair amount of time mocking the group ruthlessly, for their “bongo drums,” disorganization, and incoherence.

Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs‘ appearance on Tuesday’s Morning Joe evoked a strong sense of déjà vu. Time‘s Mark Halperin asked Gibbs about a familiar line of attack on President Obama, noting that GOP hopeful Rick Perry (R-TX) responded to a reporter who asked him if the President loved America by saying, “You need to ask him.”

Gibbs called Perry’s “passion” for America a “remarkable turnaround” from his not-so-distant talk of secession from the United States.

On the This Week roundtable yesterday Nicolle Wallace, introduced to the audience as the “former Bush White House communications director,” weighed in on the NAACP’s resolution on the Tea Party. What Jake Tapper neglected to mention in his intro was that Wallace was also head of Sarah Palin‘s campaign, making her answer all the more interesting.

This is interesting. In a column mostly devoted to detailing the similarities she shares with Sarah Palin (tongue firmly planted in cheek), Maureen Dowd appears to side with Palin on the events surrounding her problems with McCain campaign adviser Nicolle Wallace and the disastrous Katie Couric interviews.

Perhaps the real genius of Sarah Palin’s press tour thus far is that in forcing some of her subjects to come out and disclose what actually happened versus Palin’s version of events she’s actually making them look sort of like idiots. Talk about Catch-22. Case in point: Nicolle Wallace.

Add Drudge to the list of media outlets that has got its hands on Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue. The top story on the site today links directly through an excerpt of the book, posted by Drudge, that details Palin’s decision to do the now infamous Katie Couric interviews. Apparently Palin agreed to them because she felt sorry for Katie.
