Looks like the media is covering for him until the ruckus dies down.

JC has gone too far this time, but it's merely a symptom of the overriding triumphalism of the left in the success of their outrageous and dishonest quest to reclaim power in Washington. They think they won it all, even though they barely squeaked out a victory in both the House and the Senate.
Historically they had an average turnover, around 30 seats in their favor, in the sixth year of the other party's presidency. This after over a decade of historically unprecedented losses for them (see this Ann Coulter column on this issue). They would have to have won nearly 100 seats in the House last November and 20 seats in the Senate just to get back to even, but they didn't even come close. They may or may not have a one seat margin in the Senate now, 51/49, depending on lots of issues, not the least of which is what happens with Joe Lieberman or several others on any given issue. Before the election it was 55/45 in favor of the Republicans. In the House the balance went from 232 to 203 in favor of the Republicans to 231 to 204 (likely outcomes assumed of a couple of open races) in favor of the Dhimmicrats. And the Republicans were stymied at every turn, not just by their own incompetence but by the nature of the institutions with close margins. Well they're closer now.
The Dhimmicrats won't be able to get even the most modest things accomplished, let alone the more radical things that their leadership and the moonbat base have been talking about since the election, but they don't see that. They are so full of themselves for giving the evil Republicans a "thumping," as our President so artlessly put it, that they are trotting out every lunatic proposal as if it were holy writ. And that includes Jimmy the C and his "we must wipe out Israel to solve all problems in the world" rant. The man insists that he wants to help Israel, but everything he says and does is aimed at helping them back into the showers at Buchenwald. And Jimmy is just the tip of the moonbat iceberg.
A few in the DBM are hoping to whistle past the graveyard and pretend that everything is OK with this fantasy and hope the rest of us don't notice. This weekend's shows were designed to cement their view of reality and the Dhimmicrat's agenda as The Agenda. By Tuesday they'll realize that they have overreached and that their fall is going to be long and there won't be a soft landing. My hope is that they don't take the rest of us with them.
Oh, and Jimmy also has become something of an embarrassment in regards to his book. He hasn't been treated kindly by the major media reviewers (see What Would Jimmy Do in the WaPo via PowerLine) nor his own allies as to the truthfulness or analytic competence he has exhibited. His response? Say that the reviewers were all Jews. Yep, Jimmah. That works every time. Just look how well it has served Mel Gibson's image. Of course, Mel might come back from his grotesque behavior. After all, he has real accomplishments and talent to fall back on. You've got nothing.
