Carville = Young Gollum

I had the same thought, minus the ‘young’.

I was thinking Mouth of Sauron.

There’s nothing wrond necessarily about the military taking over and announcing martial law in Washington IF Obama and Congress keep pissing on the Constitution.

The military ultimately has loyalty to the Constitution.

I wouldn’t rule it out happening or a Red State Rebellion before 2040.

Watch the economy and if it implodes or hyper-inflation kicks in, the military may have to jump in similar to what you see in other countries who destroy their economoy with their governmnet.

Geez, I can see the other mutts, but doesn’t George Stephanopoulos have at least a minimal responsibility to portray at least the semblance of independence?

George “tears of a clown” Stephanopoulos

“We watched everything and George was still doing all the anchoring for ABC and as soon as Beyonce said “At Last…” George called me at home and he went, “Honey?” and I said “I know!” and we both started crying. ”

Nice to know that Stephanopoulos has now been exposed as a member of The Comintern. I’m surprised he didn’t break into L’Internationale while the tears were flowing.

The liberal media has gone all in and are totally invested no matter what the outcome of this administration. The media feels they have a special position at the front of the vangard…modern day Jack Reeds.

But like Reed nearly 100 years earlier, the media fails to recognize that they are mere participants in one of the largest bubbles in modern political history. Like all bubbles, they tend not to end well (Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds)

No matter how much helium the media injects into this administration it will begin to loose altitude at some point. I suspect sooner rather than later. At that point, the media will need to decide if they want to be at all relevant and have a future. At some point, the business of news should have a corrective influence.

“Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one!”

In lieu of that, at least get the telephone log records proving their occurance…

Shouldn’t be hard, really; from the most transparent administration EVAH!

They were military experts, but these guys are experts on politics. The question isn’t whether they were knowledgable, the issue is that they were told what to say by the Pentagon and they said it.

You don’t want Pentagon people presenting military information? Who do you want to serve as the “experts”–HUD bureaucrats? Department of the Interior?

Begala, Carville, and Stephanopoulis are not objective. They are partisan hacks of the Dems, the first two being especially viscious. Axelrod is also worrisome. I don’t think that there is an ethical bone in his body when it comes to spinning the message. He is Mr. Astroturf himself. Emanuel is the Enforcer. He plays dirty and for keeps.

Their “expertise” didn’t inform their opinions, it was used to legitimize Bush Administration Propoganda or to legitimize the corporations who paid them to advertise for them. By calling them “military experts” it assumes they are independent thinkers. They weren’t and they sold the case to war over and over.

And now for the larger point (let’s back up slowly, so the forest comes into view and not just this tree)….

Bush shouldn’t have done that. It came out. There was outrage. It stopped.

Now that Emanuel/Obama is doing it, it’s okay. It’s “politics as usual.”

That’s the lesson to take home today, got it?
