I can not believe these professional pundits claiming Palin “held her own” and it was a “spirited debate”. What a load of horsesh*t, Palin did not debate Biden. Senator Biden came for a debate; Governor Palin read off note cards prepared by some one else and was so canned it was laughable. She was as natural (100% rehearsed) and folksy (proud to be ignorant) as a 40-year-old re-run of “Hee-Haw”.
Madam Speaker,
Please go back to the drawing board and put less emphasis on helping your rich friends and campaign donors. You need to eliminate that hideous Bankruptcy "Reform" that was passed in 2005. I saw you standing there with two of congress’ most corrupt members (Hoyer and Emanuel). They stood behind you like they knew they were pulling the stings on the Nancy Pelosi puppet. How sad for you and how sad for America. Its well known you are one of the wealthiest members of congress try to be a little more like the Roosevelt’s (they were wealthy too). People like Hoyer and Emanuel are ruining this once great country.
Sarah Palin=St.John’s Wart.
Obama, Biden, and Kerry are members of the Senate Millionaires club. Their first rule is not to talk about another Senator harshly no matter what the sins he has committed. Guiliani, Cheney and Miller have no such rules. It’s an honor among thieves’ thing except for Republicans they have no honor at all in all things; it’s always about getting the money.
That was one of the best discussions of our Government being bought by big business I have heard. One issue not discussed was that once hot button issues are solved the money surrounding them dries up. Which is not popular with politicians, so they like to hedge all bets and work both sides against the middle. The desire for change wins elections, actual change dries up money for politicians. Which one will politicians gravitate to?
Cass Sunstein loves the sound of his own monotone voice. He made one hackneyed point after another only to discount them seconds later. He kept repeating spin and one cliché after another. What is the ‘Fuzzy” way to get accountability? Someone call the Water Works their big drip must be missing.
Harold Ford and the entire DC Democratic party are in the pocket of Big Business and it shows (FISA, Immigration, and endless wars). Kos is such a neophyte politically he turned Daily Kos over to Obama via his way too early endorsement. And made himself and daily Kos irrelevant to the rest of the election cycle.
Now that Hillary Clinton is supporting Obama I guess that means the support staff cesspool of DLCers is in the mix also. If Obama starts looking like he’s pulling a John Kerry it’s because he’s listening to Mcauliffe, Davis, Carville and the rest of the Village idiots that worked on the Clinton campaign.
I for one am please I am from a generation that didn’t have “hooker mom’s” of MILFS or a mothers obsessed with wearing tight jeans or flashing their breasts to the world. Hot moms you’re from another place in time. I’m glad my mom chose nurture over trying to be Janice Dickinson. Am I missing something? Yeah, family Christmas photos with mom in a low cut push up bra showing off her cleavage.
David Broder is like an old flabby stripper, no matter how much he takes off it’s just not going to turn people on. As a matter of fact the more he takes off the more the he sickens the patrons of the cub. But Fred Hiatt strip club impresario and wanna-be stripper (he just doesn’t have the tits) thinks Broder is doing a great job bless him getting up on stage 6 times a day taking it all off to screams of “put it on… put it on”.
Anne Kornblut makes the case for the idiot media in today’s Washington Post “Post Politics Hour”. There may be a more unintentional confession of malfeasance (I'm a huge Bumiller fan) but I haven’t seen one. Annie get your gun and point it at your head!
As the desperation increases the corporate media is less and less concerned with appearing non-biased against most Democrats. All the millionaire news-readers and pundits are trying in vain to convince viewers they know what regular folks are feeling. Thanks to Glenn and the progressive blog sphere Brain Williams is Lonesome Rhodes, Tim Russert is J.J. Hunsecker wearing a W button, CNN’s the Situation Room is just the Beale News Hour produced by Faye Dunnaway.
UC Berkeley has come many miles since the protesting sixties when then Governor Ronald Reagan turned fire hoses on the students he thought were dirty hippies. Now Berkley is a place full of Ritalin raised kids with Emo hair and really bad taste in music. The outside world is a place where money doesn’t come from mom and dad.
Charlie Rose is hardly neutral or even fair. Rose grills liberals and kisses the feet of conservatives. I can’t watch Charlie anymore his tongue bath of Laura Bush was disgusting.
Harry Reid as Majority leader in the Senate has been like having Beaver Cleaver fighting Al Capone. Weak as tea Harry and his sore throat oratories are from the theater of the absurd. Mr. Reid never met a republican he wouldn’t bow and scrape to.
I think Mr. King could be overcompensating for having what might be called a strikingly odd appearance, an oversized nose and two very dissimilarly focused eyes. When he appears as a newsreader on CNN I can never tell what he’s looking at unless he turns his head to one side.
