Having triumphed with a landslide win (hey, a 1 seat margin in the Senate and the smallest historical change in the House in a sixth year of a presidency is a mandate if they say it's a mandate!) the Democrats and DBM are now in full gloat mode. They are trumpeting their plans to "fix" the country and undo all of the rotten things that the Republicans did since McChimpy Reagan defeated Holy Jimmy the C. now the masks are off and they can finally reveal what they really want to do and who they really are. And they control the agenda! Remember that. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
The DBM claims to be the first draft of history and they are determined to set their version of not only this election but the last 30 years into stone. Reagan was an aberration and his era is over and the Republican wresting control away from the Dhimmicrats was a terrible tragedy for America and the world at large. Oh, and Jimmy Carter (notice those initials?) was one of our holiest of presidents, despite what you think you've learned over the last 30 years. Chief on their agenda is to surrender in Iraq and, in fact, the entire Muslim world and to paint George W. Bush as the worst president in history. After all, he failed to kow tow to them. All else is immaterial.
NBC Meet The Press offers up one of three appearances by Stephen Hadley, no doubt to explain exactly what he meant by that leaked memo. You don't suppose the White House felt it necessary to do something that outrageous in order to get one of their people onto the Sunday talk shows? They then give us Warner and Levin to explain why Bush was wrong for not listening to the wise men in the Senate all this time. Finally they provide Jimmy Carter one of two NBC appearances this weekend. Let the rehabilitation of this foreign policy genius begin!
CBS Face The Nation also presents Hadley and will no doubt be hard on him over the leaked memo. Their other guests, Hagel and Lieberman, present the perfect picture of the screwed up world we live in. The "conservative Republican" is the slimo and Al Gore's 2000 running mate is the good guy, from my point of view. What's wrong with this picture?
Fox News Sunday gives us Plugs Biden, Goober Graham and Kelo Breyer. Oh the humanity! Their prime concern? What James Baker and the old guard foreign policy wonks of the Iraq Survey Group will tell the President he has to do to "fix things" that he's broken in Iraq. Let's see, we have a group of people who opposed the Iraq war and, in fact, the war on terror from day one. What do you think they're going to advise the President to do, get tough? This is the surrender chorus in full bleat and it ain't pretty. And to top it off no Britt Hume this week. I guess the combination of Paul Gigot and Charles Krauthammer will make up for that lack.
ABC This Week completes Hadley's triple play this weekend and I'm sure George Steponallofus will be in full dudgeon over how he trashed the Iraqi leadership... wait.... Then we have a pair of Dhimmicrat presidential contenders, one they think is serious, one they think is a joke. You get to figure out which is whic. After several years of Bush bashing and leftist adulation as a "good conservative" George Will's column on Jim Webb's lack of civility drew an immediate and typically insane series of attacks from the moonbat left. It appears that the BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) crowd has found their boy and won't stand for anyone dissing him, especially not for spewing their own hate filled diatribes in the President's face. (see here, here and here for examples or do a Google news search on "George Will")
CNN Late Edition focuses on the aftermath of what they see as the inevitable American defeat and surrender to the Jihadis. They don't want us to count on the Syrians and the Iranians. No, they want us to count on the Saudis. Brilliant! They offer up the only other decent Republican other than Joe Lieberman (oh, isn't that sad) in Arizona's Jon Kyl. Perhaps we have a nucleus of real conservative Republicans to build around. They also give us Diane Feinstein and (ugh) John F'n Kerry. Oh how the mighty have fallen. It used to be that he could command time on NBC or ABC, but no more. What a pitiful sight.
The Saturday shows are more than predictable, with Russert doing a twofer on Jimmy the C, Fred and Mort picking up on what an asshat Webb is and how stupid Rick Warren is (with the inevitable conclusion that Warren is right) followed by the hagiography of the Iraq Study Group for their infinite wisdom. Truly sad. Fox News Watch provides the usual apologia for the deficiencies of the news media while JER provides the sliver of useful information in this days newstalk. Ah well, someday they'll all learn, or else they'll end up as also rans in the great scheme of things.
So, the die is cast, the dinosaur DBM has shown their true colors and they are thinking that they're going to get away with it. They are wallowing in their illusion of ultimate victory, totally ignoring what actually happened on election day. Even the most charitable interpretation of the election results shows an evenly divided electorate, yet they are operating as if the vast sea of peasants they think they represent has risen up and is ready to overthrow "the man" who has been keeping them down, totally ignorant of the fact the the DBM is "the man" to the vast majority of Americans. Oh, are they in for a let down!
This will be cross posted to my blog at Wizards.townhall.com. This post exists primarily as a heads up for who is on the weekend talks shows, what they've been invited on to push (based on their recent pronouncements) and the spin (meme) the DBM is likely trying to push based on that information. All of this is prep work for the weekly Sunday Morning Talk Show thread posted by Alas Babylon!. That thread provides a live commentary and analysis of the Sunday talking head shows, with rare insight and exceptional fact checking. we are the Jedi Council of FreeRepublic, at least in regards to these DBM gabfests. You wanna know what was said and what it meant, as well as where they messed up? Read that thread! Better yet, contribute to it!
Here is a link to Mark Kilmer's excellent preview over at Redstate.COM posted earlier today. OK, so he beat me. Hey, he hasn't had anyone cutting on his eye in the last 10 days! <g>
Well, if it's Biden, it's going to have to be something that he can say he's been saying for the last whatever number of years. It is VERY important to him to have been right from the start...even if he hasn't been saying any such thing. Jon Carry does the same thing. It's a mental defect of some kind.
Yes..same old, same old guests.
Still no Mitch McConnell...Mel Martinez...John Boehner...and NO Jane Harmon..(would love to hear how much she loves Nancy now).
The WSJ show was great tonight...very interesting.
I sure do wish it was an HOUR, and on at an earlier time...maybe more people would learn something other than that Britney Spears wasn't wearing undies.
Thanks...I think it should be in News/Activism...it is one of the more productive threads as far as links and what the "enemy" is up to.
Biden claims he was for Iraq partition to three separate states. He conveniently forgets this was discussed years ago and rejected. If I remember right, there were concerns with Turkey accepting a nation of Kurds as well as division of oil production ownership and the prospect of more bloodshed between them all claiming territory. Biden talks like this is a new idea.
Thanks to you and Phsstpok, I can know ahead of time WHO to expect on the shows. I already know what the usual suspects will say. How I would love seeing and hearing from someone different!
I will be needing tranquilizers for the Carter and Graham interviews...'else my TV screen will be smashed.
The press is the propaganda arm of the American left and they have an agenda...see this:
