The Obama administration will go down as the Bernie Madoff of politics.
They took the money and ran.
It will all be gone and the country will be in worse shape.
All of the Democrats will be screaming for the release of their second chakra.
I think that's not quite right.
“that the administration’s response to the H1N1 flu is proof “
And didn’t H1N1 turn out to be a semi-fraud?
Perhaps Obama has been a blessing in disguise.
This may all be true of Stewart right now, but come October and November he’ll be pimping hard for Obama and Democrats.
“Big government in practice is actually the best argument against big government in theory”
That quote sure hits the nail on the head. I’ll have to remember that one.
I did not like Cronkite. I think he was always an ideologue, and I think it was a pity that he was trusted so much by the public.
Be that as it may, Cronkite was perceived to be an objective journalist, reporting the truth as he saw it, keeping the public informed on how the world really was. When LBJ learned that Cronkite was against the war, the president knew that this was a serious PR matter.
Stewart, on the other hand, is a clown. Some years ago, he was talking to a guest (possibly Al Gore?) and the guest was trying to correct Stewart and make sure that the statements on the show were fair and accurate. Stewart let his jaw drop a bit and said, "You ... you realize this is a comedy show, right? I mean ... we're not trying to be fair and accurate here, you know. We're trying to be funny. There's a difference."
But society may have come to the point where the people do not understand what is True, but are prepared to adopt whatever opinion is spouted by the clown on TV -- the guy trying to get cheap laughs while he sells car insurance.
"Truth is funny, and Funny is truth. And that is all we know, and all we need to know." -- apologies to Keats.
So, how long before Rahm neuters this sex poodle?
If Republicans ever came up with a scheme to put the worst Democrat possible in the White House to increase their numbers, they couldn’t have picked anyone as good as Dear Reader.
Hmmmmm, maybe there really is a vast right wing conspiracy <-— Just to get the DU and Kos trolls all worked up
.. regulating everything.. and then some.
We've gone from federalism to fetteralism.
fetter - n. Something that restricts; restrains. v. to shackle; to restrict freedom.
Could be.. arguably the Establishment is now the 1960s frenzied Marxist-Alinsky street/campus revolutionary rabble and their ideological issue.
About a year ago, I told someone who got most of their news for Stewart and Colbert that if things keep going the way they are, then ten years from now Colbert will still be flogging dead horses, looking for ratings once his core audience has been forced to grow up and Stewart would be a news host on Fox.
The Obama administration will go down as the Bernie Madoff of politics.

I'm looking forward to the time that nothing he says will be repeated by anyone, because nobody watches him anymore..
What are his ratings and demos lately?
BTTT!
Axelrod defended his colleagues and argued, as pointed out here by David Freddoso, that the administration’s response to the H1N1 flu is proof that it is up to the task of big government. It was a striking remark that illustrated perhaps the biggest reason why President Obama is similar to Jimmy Carter: big government in practice is actually the best argument against big government in theory.IMHO Stewart was just serving up a question that Axelrod knew was coming, part of Stewart's ongoing and never-ending shilling for his political party.
The above question is waaaay too insightful for a democrat to ask. Stewart's becoming interesting...
