November 2007


This morning, while on the treadmill, I flipped between two unintentional laugh riots, more of ABC’s stealth shilling for all things liberal disguised as a gal-pals-sitting-around-chatting show, “The View,” a tv virtual train wreck that attracts my attention in the same way a real one would, and when the chicks were in commercial, a rare treat, the Democrat National Committee Fall Meeting on C-SPAN.

C-SPAN: After his condemnation of President Bush’s vicious reign on terror on America’s children in the form of his veto of the dems’ socialist medicine on the installment plan aka ‘SCHIP,’ he launched into his litany of changes that will need to be made when dems get back in charge, something that can’t happen soon enough, according to Dr. Dean. He said they would restore America’s prestige and moral authority in the world, something that, according to Dean, America had from the end of World War I up until George Bush’s war in Iraq. Wow–just like that, Nixon’s off the hook! Who’a thunk it? And does this mean Howard Dean and John Kerry will retract those “hey hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?” chants they hurled into the air back in the 1960’s?

Back to “The View” in time to hear the gals talk about the teacher in the Sudan being thrown in prison for letting a bunch of 2nd graders name a stuffed bear “Mohammed.” You’re thinking they’re outraged, right, particularly now that some of the insane fanatics in this screwed up country are demanding that she get the death penalty? That they’re going to say “Are these people nuts, or if not what are we missing?” Are they going to express the same outrage over the death penalty that liberals routinely express when we carry out the death penalty against premeditated murderers? (Can you say Tookey Williams? How about the left’s darling, cop killer Mumia al Jamal?) No, not so much. Their take was that she should have known better. Shari Sheppard said that when she did standup in Turkey–I’ll be that was a scream,no?– they gave her a big thick book full of things you can and can’t do. Somehow the gals didn’t seem concerned about our all having to get those sorts of books if the liberals surrender to the terrorists as they apparently have planned. Joy Behar would be the first one they dragged off the stadium for a head-ectomy. These babes also seem to have forgotten all that feminist stuff about how wrong it is to ‘blame the victim,’ but perhaps that’s because in their world, in a victim contest, the white, Brit loses every time.

C-SPAN: Bill Richardson babbling about something. I can’t get past all the chins. Sorry.

The View: Guy in India marries a dog to atone for stoning two dogs 15 years ago. And you thought your wife was a bitch. (Couldn’t resist.)

C-SPAN: Obama says “We were promised compassionate conservatism and got Katrina and wiretaps instead.” Obama’s speech came after John Edwards’ impassioned warning to the assembled apparatchiks that we have to fight because “these people won’t give up.” Is he talking about the headchopping maniacs who have vowed to murder as many of us as possible? No, he’s talking about the pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies. Edwards also droned on about the horrors of living in this country–no sorry, the other America–you know that one that exists in the minds of liberals and democrat political consultants–including students unable to afford college and become the doctors who will cure cancer, the architects who will rebuild after disasters like Katrina and the engineers who will fix all our crumbling architecture. Noticeably absent from his list are the kids who won’t be able to go to college and then law school and become obscenely rich, a phrase that Edwards would apply to anyone with his net worth other than himself. Wait a second–who’s going to fix the health care system if not trial lawyers? He also presented a new list of mascots in the form of imaginary friends, the usual disabled vets, cancer victims without health insurance and of course, the guy who couldn’t talk for 50 years because he had a cleft palate that he couldn’t get fixed. I don’t wish this fate on anyone, but I couldn’t help thinking that it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if Edwards couldn’t talk for 50 years. Edwards added something new to the cleft palate guy story. He said that a “generous man” had paid for his surgery. Show of hands–does anyone think that Edwards was this “generous man?” Me either.

Most interestingly, Hillary Clinton didn’t speak as scheduled. She had to handle the hostage situation at her New Hampshire headquarters. MMM …anyone else think this “crisis” has anything to do with the story about HRC and CNN collaborating to plant that gay general dude in the allegedly GOP debate two nights ago? Is anything involving the Clintons ever a coincidence? How long before we hear that this wackjob wanted to see Hillary because he can’t get health insurance to treat his mental problems? You see–it’s George Bush’s fault again!

I was very sad to learn about 15 minutes ago of the passing of Congressman Henry Hyde. As you know, he understood that a government that fails to protect the most vulnerable in society, the innocent, the helpless and the voiceless, is no government at all, but rather a worthless, greedy bureaucracy. He reminded us of one of most important values: the preciousness of every individual human life.

He will be missed.

I may have more to say about this thing tomorrow, but a few initial impressions:

The Wall Street Journal reported that CNN got ~ 5000 submitted questions, and chose ~40. With that background, I found myself asking whether, given all the important issues and challenges facing our country, do CNN producers really think that the most important issues are whether candidates believe in the Bible and what they think of the Confederate flag? Are you kidding me?! Are the dems ever asked these sort of silly questions?

How long did it take for CNN to find that gay general guy, and is he really part of Hillary’s campaign?

It was great that Rudy got asked about the Politico story about possibly misusing city funds while mayor. Did I miss it or was Hillary asked about Norman Hsu at any of these debates?

As I said, I may have more to say later, but that’s all for now.

Before I head out this morning, I thought I’d share a couple of random thoughts.

Possible Republican Ticket: Giuliani-Huckabee. (This is not an endorsement, but rather a question, something to think about.)

The story that Bob Novak broke last night regarding some very negative information that the Clintons have on Obama has me thinking that Hill and Bill are scheming to push Mr. Not Ready for Prime Time into having a Howard Dean-like meltdown. Insiders have long said that He Who Walks on Water is very thin-skinned, a fact far more significant than the MSM weasels’ obsession with the color of his skin. Coming on the heels of his being literally laughed at by the audience at last Thursday’s debate, this “scandal” that the Clintons supposedly know about could be all it takes to make him go postal. Be honest: that would be seriously fun to watch.

What say you?
