( Said like Jerry Seinfeld said "Newman!")
I don’t think president zero has an original thought in his head. Any first comments are still programmed by his speech writers and repeated by zero. Then, once the poop hits the fan, they have to reconsider it and have him speak on the issue again to set the record straight or clear air in giving him cover for the first comment.
The more one thinks about it, this happens time after time with 0.
Wallace is his father's son...
Truth is, and everybody knows it, if Dingy Harry had said what he said, which even a junkie like me only heard in the last few days (wonder why....hmmmmmm?) were a Republican...and the Majority Leader in either the Senate or the House...the Democrats would have gone after him tooth and nail...the race pimps like Sharpton and the, uh, Revrun Jacksunnnnnnn....would have been on him like white on rice.
But a Democrat says something inflammatory (see Dodd, Byrd, et al)...no harm, no foul, no blood, no ambulance, no apology, double down and circle the wagons. Nothing to see...
I'm starting the countdown here...296 days until we vote the b**tards out.
Heh. Obamer must have charged the minions with finding the few idiots who would go on TV to defend him. Juan Williams is another.
So here's the defense of the Reid comment...the one about the negro dialect, as OPPOSED to the comment by Trent Lott...heh...they have to lay awake all night coming up with this stuff.
"See, Reid's comment was contained within a larger commentary that was essentially COMPLIMENTARY to Obama."
So...if I say..."that all girls basketball team sure plays well, they display good team play, they score lots of baskets. They are a bunch of nappy-headed ho's"...well then THIS is okay."
Gotta put within a compliment. Let all the racists in America be put on notice...say something nice first, then let loose with the racial epithets. We'll call it the "Harry Reid Racist Rule."
Juan needs to learn, terrorists don’t need a community organizer helping them.
Excellent idea, ironically, she will get the job done for the party anyway.
That Doug guy’s last name is Kennedy, of the same family (son of Robert, I believe).
So your description is perfectly appropriate.
Good, they will be talking to someone who will give them just the earful they need!

Will the Sunday shows ever change?
By MICHAEL CALDERONE | 1/10/10 7:08 AM EST
A new idea recently surfaced for television’s longest-running show: What if “Meet the Press” fact-checked what its stream of political guests said and ran the results online later in the week?
The suggestion by New York University journalism professor Jay Rosen kicked around Twitter and the blogosphere with such force that the show’s host, David Gregory, said in a statement to POLITICO that it was a “good idea” and his staff is “going to talk about it.”
Change comes slowly to the venerable shows that grip the attention of a small but committed segment of TV watchers every Sunday morning. And taking risks almost never happens, or why would ABC be negotiating with Ted Koppel, who at age 69 made his reputation covering Henry Kissinger and the Iranian hostage situation, to replace George Stephanopoulos as the host of “This Week”?
The shows are particularly ripe targets for critics who see them as the epitome of insider Washington and conventional wisdom. James Wolcott, writing in Vanity Fair last year, for example, described watching the show that Stephanopoulos recently vacated to be “like receiving an engraved invitation to apoplexy.”

THE BOOK: Hillary Wanted Staff To Push Obama Drug Allegations...
“He is the first “witness protection program” president.”
Haha! That’s a good one. You nailed it! :)

Rodguy, there is always ‘hope for change.’ Especially in 2010.
Sent you a Freepmail on your email problem. Let me know if I can help.
I sure hope JD gets into the race and if he is going to he better get moving.
Hear! Hear!
Hannity is no longer on my DVR schedule and I would rather hear grass grow than listen to Hannity on the radio at 3PM every day. All he talks about is who/what will be on his TV show at 9 PM.
If I hear the remark "great, great, great American panel" just one more time I think I'll stick a pencil in my ear. His schtick is wearing thin.
Romer - the Butterball turkey of DC.
One year I had to lower such a rig down into my dug well. The supply pipe had frozen 6 feet below grade where it exits the well.
This morning was a balmy -5F.
I wish you would replace Steele you would be great!
