New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

Caroline Kennedy knew enough to write a book on the Constitution.  Sarah Palin doesn’t like to be asked what books she read.  Who’s more qualified…?

I don´t even GET the comparison between Palin and Kennedy. Palin was up for VP and now has an eye on the PRESIDENCY….Kennedy is asking for a freshman appointment!
For Palin, herself, to bring up Kennedy and say a divisive thing like it´may be ClASS issue…well, I can only say, Palin you are CLASSLESS and CLUELESS.
Palin is just using other peoples name to STAY in the spotlight.

In a function democracy, it is the duty of the media to report on those in power and those that want to be in power. Close scrutiny, indepth investigative reporting but this is not a well functioning democracy and I would guess even the sarah palins and the caroling kennedys have to endure the claptrap the current form of the msm decides to allow us the minions to ingest as information.

I would love to see a ‘mano y mano’ with Sarah Palin and Caroline Kennedy in the format of a televised debate or question and answer interview session.  That would beat any ‘reality’ show you could dream up.  Bring it ON!!  Sarah should be careful what she wishes for.
