Chelsea comed her hair different last week. It was top story for three days. Talk about a mega-barf alert. It's unconcionable what the press does in this nation.
As for the current mess, pharmacists will not give anyone a pass who's presenting a fraudulent script. That is as it should be. But who calls the press in on these? Some vengeful democrat, that's who. Otherwise the press wouldn't have even known about it.
Well here it is, State of the Union day and the Bush's are being taken down a notch. That's all this is about in my opinion. This is a non-event. It has nothing to do with Uncle accept to detract from his talking points.
So you know what the moral of the story is? WE need to be on the lookout for stuff like this and call the press with legitimately verifiable info. And I mean police reports, etc., not just our word. I think you'll be stunned at the response, because again, there are more people in the business, liberal though they may be, whose No. 1, overriding agenda is selling papers and getting ratings than there are people whose No. 1, overriding agenda is furthering the liberal cause.
I think the problem is we hold ourselves up as above the fray, thinking that we're right on the issues and we're right morally and that we ought to just play it straight and in the end, good will win out. B.S.! That attitude, IMHO, is why Bill Clinton played a GOP Congress like a marionette on strings for six years. We took the high road when we were dealing with a gutter fighter who abided by no rules or bounds. We should've gotten down in the gutter with him and used the Jimmy Malone philosophy from "The Untouchables": "He brings a knife, you bring a gun ... he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue."
It's sad that things have gotten like that ... but again, that's the reality of politics 2002 and we either need to get with the program or get run over.
