I think Tom Brokaw and Bob Scheiffer
Gwen Ifill is pretty darn terrific herself.

Truly mind boggling statements.

I think Tom Brokaw and Bob Scheiffer

These two have been rated two of the most biased newscasters since I was a kid over 30 years ago. They are the faces of the msm and gwen ifill’s show on pbs is a twitch to the right of a truthers talk show. Two weeks ago she had guys from the wash post, ny times and npr on her show seeing who could get the biggest unfounded rumor started about the mccain campaign.

McCain is a well known quantity, unlike Obama who has come out of virtually no where in a very short time. I don’t think McCain runs the risk of being unknown to people. His greatest challenge will be the liberal media establishment and the faux conservatives who would rather see Obama win than admit they don’t run the GOP.

Every single candidate for president in our history has been hit by all the dirt that was possible to unearth. Why not this one? I don’t care what one’s race or background is. No one should be spared. This is the biggest job in the gd world. These are also significant and very deciding times. This is not a contest for the most popular, or the most charismatic person (in the world).

You have dirt on Obama, don’t you?

Hillary does.

I got my campaign contributions from Norman Hsu
He gave me money that I sure could use
People love it when I lose,
They love my dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been suing a McDonalds, but I married up
I just have to look good compared to the rest, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper dirty tricks in my ear
See my dirty laundry

See me when Im up
See me when Im down
See me when Im up
See me when Im down
See me when Im up
See me go round and round

We got the carousing Silky Pony didn’t we
You don’t think that the National Enquirer got him without me
He could tell you bout channeling the dead with a gleam
In his eye
Its interesting when people die
See his dirty laundry

Can we trash Obama yet?
You know, the boys in my 2012 campaign got a
Running bet
Got the dirt on him all set!
I love others dirty laundry

You dont really need to know whats going on
You dont really want to know just how far Ive gone
Just leave me well enough alone
Eat my dirty laundry

See me when Im up
See me when Im down
See me when Im up
See me when Im down

See me when Im up
See me when Im down
See me when Im stiff
See me when Im talkin southern black all around

My dirty little secrets
My dirty little lies
Ive got my dirty little fingers in everybodys pie
I love to cut em down to size
I love dirty laundry

I can do the innuendo
I can pounce and I can sing
When its all said and done I havent told you a thing
You all know that my crap is king
Give me dirty laundry!
- Hillary Rodham Henley

I don’t, but if others do, they’ll hurl it. He should not be spared, as he has been so far. Every single candidate for president in our history has been hit by all the dirt that was possible to unearth. Why not this one? I don’t care what one’s race or background is. No one should be spared. This is the biggest job in the gd world. These are also significant and very deciding times. This is not a contest for the most popular, or the most charismatic person (in the world).

One more thing, if the world wants somebody, the Americans sense something untoward about that. It’s their exceptionalism, so much criticized, but so much what keeps that beacon on top of that “hill”. It’s a good thing.

I wrote many comments on the Europe trip when it happened. These two liberals confirm every word.

This election’s money quote

Barack Obama has long been his party’s presumptive nominee. Now he’s becoming its presumptuous nominee.

~ ~ liberal Dana Milbank

Human nature is not that hard to figure out. It instinctively knows some things. It knows, for example, what an empty rhetoric/promise is. Reality is still reality. Perception is not reality. The latter is one of my favorite BSs, ever.

Check Drudge. McCain won the Sturgis Bike Rally vote.

That’s only because they’re a bunch of RACISTS!

I knew whom I was reading before I scrolled up and saw your username. Your optimism is so inspiring it nears arrogance.

If everything is as you say….it’s gonna be fine. But how? How can this be?

You have dirt on Obama, don’t you?

I’ll take the roar of 50,000 Harleys any day.

Ever hear a 500 Harleys riding down a residential street? Wow.

Obama’s biggest weakness is that he’s an unknown quantity

No, he’s no longer an unknown anything, just because the media and his operatives wanted him to remain a blank canvas, onto which to paint any Utopian dream.

The public finally looked up and saw a naked world emperor, pretending to be in the position already. They said “nah”.

It will be the Europe trip that was his final undoing.

“As you may know, not long ago a couple hundred thousand Berliners made a lot of noise for my opponent. I’ll take the roar of 50,000 Harleys any day,”

McCain said

The media has figured this out. They might be narcissistic, but they’re not all stupid. In the end, the upset will give them much to write/talk about too.

Also, as MB4 @ 12:25 claims some media are still covering Obama 10-to-1, here’s a link to the sources used in the study. And so long as the methodology is consistent, the trend of McCain getting more coverage would hold up, as the same sources are tracked weekly.

The problem is not only that McCain is possibly sinking into a ‘Not’ candidate, but that he will be widely disliked as well as people discover his record from the last 8 years and decide that he pretty much sucks and can’t be trusted. The only hope McCain has is the number of people that would rather stay handcuffed to him is higher than the number of us who would rather chew our own arm off than vote for him.

Johnny Mac, Just Whose Side Are You On?

With a history filled with cursing, (“F*ck you” to John Cornyn, “A$$hole to Pete Domenici, “F*cking jerk to Charles Grassley, screaming and throwing temper tantrums at fellow Republicans over the years, John McCain seems to save his admiration and glowing praise for Nancy Pelosi and Al Gore.

On Nancy Pelosi, McCain was positively gushing with compliments and niceties:

Nancy Pelosi, praising her as an effective leader and an “inspiration to millions of Americans.”

“I respect Speaker Pelosi. I think she’s one of the great American success stories,” McCain said during an interview with The Chronicle prior to a fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.

“We talk about (New York Sen.) Hillary Clinton and her inspiration to millions of Americans. Speaker Pelosi has been an inspiration as well” in a role that is “in many ways … more powerful than the president.” {Source: San Francisco Chronicle}

What did he say?? Pelosi “an effective leader”, and an “inspiration to millions of Americans”?? Someone who pretty much practices Socialism gets this kind of praise and gushy sentiments from the GOP PRESIDENTIAL candidate, while cursing out Conservative leaders like John Cornyn.

And it didn’t end with Pelosi. Without skipping a beat, McCain went on to praise Al Gore for HIS leadership on the phony baloney Global Warming / Climate Change hysteria:

And McCain also had high praise for the 2000 Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore and his advocacy on the issue of climate change. McCain recently raised eyebrows in GOP circles by calling “doable” Gore’s suggestion that the country could become entirely energy independent through use of renewable resources within 10 years.

“I agree with his goal,” the Arizona senator said Monday of Gore’s idea. “I may disagree with all the ways of getting there. But I again want to emphasize my respect for the former vice president’s leadership on this issue and his continuous leadership. And I am in no way trying to get into a fight with him.”
Agreement on goals

McCain said that while he differs with Gore on the importance of nuclear power, “I do believe that his goals and his priorities and the visibility that he’s given the issue has been good for America and the world.”

I guess it’s true that like minds stick together. This won’t go over well with the base, which John McCain doesn’t seem to care about anyway:

His praise for two Democrats who are regularly in the bull’s-eye of the conservative talk radio and the right-wing blogosphere is likely to draw fire from Republican loyalists, who consider Pelosi and Gore to be the evil twins of liberalism.

“It drives the talk radio crowd nuts when McCain does not wage war on Pelosi and Gore,” said Hoover Institution media fellow Bill Whalen. McCain, he said, likely was trying to reach out to moderate and independent voters during his San Francisco visit.

McCain is probably in the best shape of his life these days with all the running to the left he has been doing.

Study: McCain finally getting almost as much media coverage as Obama

Not so at all on some media. Not even close. At least 10 to 1 Obama and increasing.

OT: Obama to vacation in Hawaii and raise cash during Ft. Hood townhall, for which he had a “scheduling conflict.” HT: Redstate.

America is less than fired up about either of these a$$hats.
