Speakerette of the House, Grandma Nancy Pelosi, is demanding a 757 to jet back and forth from Washington DC to her California District.
Let me be the first to say that I support Speaker Pelosi . . . I just don't support her mission.
Media Wise Men may recall that the Democrats used this parliamentary tactic repeatedly for the better part of six years, to block confirmation votes on President Bush's appointments of Federal Judges, as well as legislation that, like the Judicial Appointments, enjoyed the support of a majority of Senators.
In those days, the Drive-by Media never referred to Senate Democrat's refusal to end debate as a refusal to allow debate. Is the decision by News organizations to substitute a Democrat Talking Point (i.e. "Republicans are Blocking the Debate") for the objective facts (i.e. that Republicans have voted against ending the debate) a product of partisanship or ignorance? The correct answer is probably, "both."
The Washington Post provides a classic illustration of the Left's blindness toward the stakes in the worldwide war against Islamic Facists -- a blindness brought on by Leftists' fixation with hating George W. Bush.
In a "news" article entitled, "Hagel Ponders White House Run As War Criticism Raised His Profile," Post Staff Writer, Shailagh Murray offers the following summary of Conservative angst at despair-monger, Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska. "[Hagel's] GOP critics fume that Hagel and his Democratic allies who sponsor resolutions opposing a troop buildup are undermining Bush at a critical moment."
NO, Mr. Liberal Washington Post Reporter, we are fuming at Hagel for undermining AMERICA at a critical moment.
At least the Post correctly associated Hagel's latest outburst with the Senator's Presidential Ambitions, which should put to rest the naive idea that Hagel is a champion of principle; but the assertion that Hagel's treachery is merely a swipe at President Bush is characteristic of the Leftist psychosis that sees George W. Bush as the enemy, while dismissing the real threat from our real and declared enemies.
Somebody recently told me that President Bush's decision to invade Iraq while we were still fighting in Afghanistan was stupid and doomed to failure, because anybody knows that it is impossible to win a war on two fronts.
That probably explains why the U.S. lost World War II.
But, I do think the two-front proposition has some validity. From the outset President Bush has underestimated the difficulty of America simultaneously withstanding the hateful attacks of both Islamic Jihadists on one front and the Leftist American Media and the Democrat Party on another.
Adding to the perception that freshman U.S. Senator, Barak Obama, would be an invincible Presidential Candidate, Obama yesterday survived eating lunch with Hillary Clinton.
Sources close to the event, hosted at his Massachusetts residence by Moderate Democrat, Edward R. Kennedy, told reporters that the conversation between Senator Clinton and Senator Obama was polite, if strained, and that Obama, who seemed uncharacteristically nervous, picked at his food, dropped his fork and his napkin several times and raised eyebrows by inexplicably directing Ms. Clinton's attention to a window several times during the meal.
According to an Obama Staffer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, during the course of the meal Senator Clinton repeatedly asked Senator Obama how he was feeling. The Staffer said that Obama answered each time that he felt just fine, and that Senator Clinton seemed to supress a growing irritation with each inquiry.
In an unrelated incident, members of Senator Kennedy's household staff reported that following the luncheon they were saddened to find a Kennedy family pet, a Black Lab, lying dead on the floor, as well as a wilted potted plant, both near Obama's place at the table.
Giving a worse name to Affirmative Action, freshman U.S. Senator, Barak Obama, has been basking in a wholly unearned national spotlight, which will in time reveal to the nation what observant Illinois voters have known for years. Namely, that Obama is a thoroughly conventional Leftist Democrat, substantively distinguished from Teddy Kennedy only in that the former can pronounce the latter's name.
In order to mount the heights of his political ambitions, Obama will need a pithy campaign theme that captures the essence of the man and his message. Here's my suggestion: Barak Obama: Fresh Face, Stale Ideas.
At least Michael Richards (the Seinfeld character, Kramer) didn't use any truly offensive words, like Macaca.
Asked about Iran’s announcement that it will soon successfully complete the nuclear fuel production cycle, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi warned that Democrats would respond forcefully and decisively to this provocation by introducing legislation to increase the Minimum Wage.
In a clear rebuke to CNN, Al-Jazeera has announced that it will begin English language broadcasts. Despite their best efforts, CNN was simply not getting the job done.
In x States, Tuesday, Americans voted to protect Marriage by affirming the traditional definition of one-man-one-woman. This is routinely reported as a "Banning Gary Marriage," even though the measures ban nothing.
But, perhaps I can explain what's going on in terms Liberals understand: Most Americans support Gays. We just don't support their Mission.
Cancel the Amber Alert and breathe a sigh of relief. Nancy Pelosi has been found safe and unharmed.
Pelosi, the probable Speaker of the House, appeared healthy and exhuberant when she turned up November 8th after being missing for more than a month, just at the time voters across the country were being asked to install a Democrat majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Party officials have so far declined to either confirm or deny reports that Pelosi had been held in protective custody in the attic of Rahm Emmanuel's Chicago Residence.
What are some of the post-election phrases, familiar following past Republican victories, that are strangely absent from the media/democrat lexicon this week?
