WEINERGATE
In a deep-dish political moment, President Obama advised Congressman Weiner to resign, sort of, calling him a putz, or something similar.
Obama was taking time out from formulating a JOBS policy, a mere two years too late.
| It is sometimes unfair to tag presidents with blame for an under-performing economy. Not this time. This president made conscious policy choices during a deep recession to reorder vast swaths of American industry. Strong-performing economies need clarity. Barack Obama has given ours indecision stretching to the horizon. And economic growth, like a long gray day, sits still below 3%. — Daniel Henninger, Wall Street Journal (2 June 2011) |
So far, Obama’s job plan is to create a one in Congress by replacing Weiner. And to raise a billion dollars for his reelection campaign, so he and his buddies can retain their jobs, with another rhetorical assault on voters, answering the question: How much money does it take to convince voters that poverty is prosperity, war is peace and slavery is freedom. Hope it fails, for a change.
PALIN AGAIN
The media converged on Alaska for an e-mail release from Palin’s gubernatorial term. Reporters weren’t looking for something specific, any “gotcha!” would suffice — a misspelling, nasty comment, sexual innuendo. So far, the correspondence shows Palin was an excellent governor, on top of the issues, literate, and with no tweets of her privates.
| Not everyone was convinced. DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said while it’s clear that Palin is the greatest human being on the planet known as Earth — it is quote “not immediately clear whether someone on another planet, or in another galaxy all together could edge her out.” — Glenn Beck, tongue in cheek |
Reading about this unhealthy obsession with Palin, who is not running for any office, made me wonder why so little investigation of Obama was conducted by the media when he was running for president. Could it be bias? Nah!
RED EYE, OH MY!
Finally, an interview with TV’s Greg Gutfeld in New Yawk Magazine. Does that publication still exist, or is it only online? Never much cared for it when I lived in New York, but the interview is okay.
Last night was “Red Eye’s” one thousandth episode. Congratulations from L·E·E to the “Eye” lads. With two favourites, Ann Coulter and Lauren Sivan, and a mention of that school in Boston, Emerson College, it was even better than the 950th episode.
I recently came across your article and have been reading along. I want to express my admiration of your writing skill and ability to make readers read from the beginning to the end. I would like to read newer posts and to share my thoughts with you.
