When NewsBusters posted the screencap shown here as its Weekend Captionfest on Friday, the result was an outpouring of affectionate reader responses. Typical was this one, from "iveseenitall":
The MSM lives in a different house. Check out this candid observation by New York Times media reporter David Carr in his article in today's NYT [emphasis added]:
In the press galleries at the convention, journalists wrinkled their noses in disgust when Piper, Ms. Palin’s youngest daughter, was filmed kitty-licking her baby brother’s hair into place.
Perhaps better than anything, I'd say that illustrates the cultural gulf that separates the MSM from mostAmericans. It also helps explain why, to the shock and horror of the liberal media, the GOP ticket has taken the lead in this election. But of course the media still have almost two months to undo America's warm feelings for Palin.

I suppose the media would have preferred that Piper use a drill instead.

Carr was definitely in a candid mood. Check out the conclusion of the same article that contains the revelation about the press reaction to Piper. Carr was describing his conversation with a Republican convention delegate [emphasis added]:
