Here is video of Sally Quinn, longtime Washington Post columnist and reporter, and wife of the Washington Post's Bill Bradlee, commenting first on Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson and then on Obama's War on Fox News.

On Grayson, Quinn said he reminded her of wacky Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

On the War on Fox News, Quinn said she is "baffled by it," and that it "never pays to single out a news organization" like this. She said it is a "really big story" on the social circuit in Washington, and virtually everyone thinks the White House is "dumb and dumber" for what they are doing. Virtually everyone "thinks it's absolutely crazy."

NOTE: Quinn is as good as anyone to give real insight into what Washington really thinks of Obama on this. . . . (VIDEO)

The Washington/Inside the beltway elite are baffled?! Wondering how such a mesmerizing, intelligent and charasmatic figure like BO could do something “dumb and dumber”? Get used to it. This is how it works in an Oligarchy, our current form of gummit.

I finally figured out how it is that Grayson got elected... His constituency is people with dementia. He's making it clear that he's one of them. The guy is nuttier than Fortnoy "Pete" Stark. And that's really saying something.

Of course, it's a good thing that he's in congress. If he were doing anything else, he'd either be fired for his comments, or someone would have beaten the crap out of him by now.

I personally think the wh attack on FOX is just a distraction, such as democracts meeting behind locked doors to keep out the Republicans in order to get whatever bill they want passed.

I suspect Obama created the war of Rush, Glen, Fox to
galvanize his base and infuse them with renewed vigor
to fight to push health reform through. You need a
common enemy to galvanize the troops.

I suspect Obama has delayed committing troops in
Afghanistan to keep from alienating those leftys
he needs to push for health reform.

I suspect Obama has made noises about Cap & Trade,
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, etc. in order to keep his
coalition together.

I suspect Obama has declared the Swine Flu a national
emergency to push joblessness off the front pages.

I suspect this all means things are not going as
well for him as he wishes. These are all meant to
plug the leaks in the boat, which is gaining new
leaks as quickly as his popularity and job approval
numbers are declining.

I suspect that one good broadside, whatever it is,
will pull back the Oz curtain and show him for what
he is - and his air of invincibility will end.

Why doesn’t Quinn carry her assessment to its logical conclusion, e.g., the White House’s action is but a reflection of just how far left the Dims are and how far out of touch they are with real American values.

I personally think the wh attack on FOX is just a distraction

I really do not believe that this administration is smart enough to use this as a distraction. They have shown themselves to be complete neophytes in everything they have attempted.

I think you’re right, myself...

I liked what she said about my Congressman, Alan Grayson, on O’Reilly: “I can just imagine what Obama and the other Democrats are thinking... You don’t want this guy on your team.”

Very nicely put. I think you have analyzed things very well! Thanks for sharing those insights.

I personally think this group in the wh is controlled from someone outside the wh. One with lots and lots of money, who is a world traveller and financial manipulater, one who walks among world leaders and Absolutely Hates America and her sucesses. He deceived his own neightbors during WWII and helped the enemy steal their valuables.
