WHY GUSTAV MAY HELP THE GOP

When you have leftist scum like Michael Moore go on another leftist scum like Keith Olberman's show and says that he believes "there's a God in heaven for sending Gustav on the week of the GOP convention", you have ask yourself, where are the liberal's fucking heads at? How low does the left have to stoop? To actually be thanking God, a God that leftists like SICKO doesn't even believe exists, for a natural disaster in order to disrupt an opposing political party is quite sick.
 
 
That is one way Gustav might help the GOP. To show independent swing voters, who are genuinely proud of their country, who don't buy into conspiracy theories, just how radical, hateful and bi partisan the left really is.
 
 
 
Another way Gustav may help the GOP? Republican Governor Bobby Jindal. The governor has proven himself as a man who is a true leader who has taken the bull by the balls, organized and made evacuations MANDATORY! It also shows you that a little common sense goes a long way. If a category 4 storm is heading for your state,  GET OUT! It certainly pays off that when Katrina hit, there was an incompetent Democratic Mayor and Governor who were not proactive as Katrina headed for Louisiana. So the people of America may be able to see the difference. 
 
 
 
Katrina=Democrat/Disaster/Death. Gustav= Republican/Resolve/Refuge.
 
 
 
Another way is, the storm may, I stress may, be downgraded by the time it is supposed to hit. I hope it does. As a conservative/ Republican, I don't want to see people die for the sake of partisan politics. However, some in the liberal media are frothing at the mouth because this may be damaging to John McCain, as if somehow John McCain has control over the weather.
 
 
 
Lastly, Bobby Jindal reminds us of the executive responsibilities that Governors carry as being stewards of a state.  Gov. Sarah Palin has this experience and brings it to the John McCain table. Biden does not. 
 
 
 
The choice of Sarah Palin reminds us that John McCain isn't George W. Bush. If he was, his choice for VP would've been Colin Powell, Condie Rice or Tom Ridge.  With Obama picking Biden, a man who is considered by many in Washington as just another typical Beltway boy,  he's proven that he's more close to the Washington establishment than we may think.
 
 
 
I don't know about you but, I don't want two lawyers running this country.

Why is Cable News So Bad?

The 2008 presidential election started earlier than ever before. Americans crave political news—the Democrats held over twenty well-watched debates, and the Republicans had over a dozen, all of which were endlessly analyzed by talk radio hosts, bloggers, and TV talking heads.
 
It is possible to find a wealth of enjoyable, informative commentary on talk radio—Laura Ingraham (when she is not kicked off the air for—apparently—violating her contract), Rush Limbaugh, and Mark Levin, among many others, host intelligent programs. Likewise, the blogosphere provides interesting and amusing analysis of the news. Even network news, while often biased and shallow, does at least attempt objectivity and decorum. So why is cable news so stupid?
 
It is hard to find a cable news show that makes even the most cursory attempt to be either a) unbiased, or b) dignified. I confess to be unfamiliar with CNN’s shows—whenever I tune in to that channel, it always seems to be showing a program about such uninteresting topics as the plight of North Dakota’s turnip growers, or the growing market for grain silos. But I do watch both Fox News and MSNBC enough to be familiar with their entire prime time lineups. And both are pretty painful.
 
Fox News starts its prime time coverage with the O’Reilly Factor, aka the No Spin Zone. Bill O’Reilly is an extremely talented TV personality, and that accounts for his massive popularity, but he is also an egotist and a blowhard. His ego means that he is constantly getting into embarrassing arguments with other media figures (for example, Keith Olbermann), and starting understaffed social crusades (three million people is an impressive cable audience, but not enough to make a boycott really effective).
 
O’Reilly’s tough questioning ensures that few prominent political figures want to appear on this show, which means that the O’Reilly Factor often degenerates into Bill O’Reilly hollering his positions at some overmatched “strategist”, which turns what should be entertaining political debate into an embarrassing shoutfest. In addition, O’Reilly is a clever but shallow thinker, which means that his political positions are often ill-though-out.
 
MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann is worse. His show is built around the fact that he is not Bill O’Reilly—Olbermann seems to harbor a stalker-like obsession with O’Reilly. He often names O’Reilly his “worst person in the world”, fanatically covers every O’Reilly gaffe, and often launches into a bad impersonation of O’Reilly’s voice when especially angry (which is often). I personally thought the show jumped the shark when Olbermann put on a puppet show acting out some event in Bill O’Reilly’s life.
 
The rest of the show is a sort of liberal Biazzro World—Olbermann lets liberals pretend, for a moment, that Bush is a sort of Richard Nixon/Bond villain combo, a world in which Olbermann is Edward R. Murrow (Olbermann has even appropriated Murrow’s “good night and good luck” line). Olbermann is by turns a psuedostalker and a nut.
 
After Olbermann comes Verdict with Dan Abrams. Dan Abrams used to be general manager of MSNBC, but got tired of that job and reentered broadcasting. Abrams is perhaps most notorious in conservative circles for gleefully speculating that Rush Limbaugh might be arrested for vote fraud. However, in other circles, he is known for…not much really, but he is a vegetarian, which probably the most interesting thing about him. His show is about as interesting as he is.
 
Fox News fills the 9 p.m. hour with Hannity and Colmes, which is a sort of less intelligent version of the O’Reilly Factor. Alan Colmes is more interesting and intelligent than he seems on TV—his talents are not exhibited well against the combative and bullying Hannity, so he is usually just ignored and brought out when the frequent well-known conservative commentators need a liberal punching bag.
 
Fox News follows Hannity with On the Record with Greta van Susteren, which provides important coverage of missing teenagers, runaway brides, and celebrity sex scandals. The most amazing aspect of the show is that Greta van Susteren has a job—she is certainly not particularly attractive, has little personality, and has a gravely, annoying voice. Sadly, her show is quite popular, presumably among the same people who read supermarket tabloids a lot.
 
MSNBC fills the hour with a repeat of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, in keeping with their commitment to making sure that Olbermann is on air as much as possible. (When not on Countdown, Olbermann anchors election night coverage, and sometimes moderates debates).
 
Cable news, in contrast with other media, seems to almost universally either boring, stupid, or biased (or all three). Neither Fox News nor MSNBC has a prime time show which could be called worthwhile. Possibly, media leaders are simply responding to what viewers want, which is the ultimate arbitrator—but it would nice if cable news could inject some civility and balance into its reporting.

 

McClellan's revelations. Where?

There are no "revelations" in McClellans book.
He only got a 2 million dollar advance which means that the book isn't going to make that much money for the publishing company which means it was put out solely for political purposes and a lib agenda.
McClellan was never a good press secretary. In fact, he sucked. He let Helen Thomas and David Gregory walk all over him.
Why?
Because he didn't ever really know what was going on. He was asked and encouraged to sit in on meetings but rarely ever did.
So, how in fact is he able to write a tell all when he was never really privy to insider information at the meetings.
If he was privy to anything important, than he's a modern day Judas who was disgruntled with his boss and stabbed him and his colleagues in the back.
Also, McClellan was hated and mocked by the press and now he's praised. Go figya that one out. Again, lib agenda. It only burns when it's burnin for us.
Let us not forget he was fired. Tony Snow replaced him and Snow actually sat in the briefings and meetings and presented issues to the press in a very knowledgeable way.
As the press still brings up Valerie Plame, we must remind liberal idiots everywhere that SHE WAS NOT COVERT!
Plame outed herself when she gave $1,000 three years earlier to the Gore campaign. Wilson also contributed. She listed her CIA "cover" company as her employer in her FEC filing. She said she worked for Brewster Jennings & Associates, a fictitious Boston-based firm designed to provide cover for some CIA operatives and employees. These are public records. She was not a covert CIA operative but a desk jockey at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va. Her name was certainly no secret, appearing in Wilson's "Who's Who In America" entry. She was there for a length of time that disqualified her from protection under the 1982 Intelligence Identities Protection Act.. Plame's identity was first disclosed to Russia by a Moscow spy in the mid-1990s.

This book will fizzle out like a bad fart.

If liberals like Keith Olbermental aka "bath tub boy" aka "2 minute Sam" want to learn any "revelations" about Bush and Iraq perhaps they should read the John Loftus Report, listen to FBI agents like George Piro and take a minute to know history.  As they will find that at the lead up to the first showdown with Saddam in 1991, Saddam hid his warplanes in Iran fearing they'd be destroyed by our bombers.  The libs would like to believe that Iran and Iraq hated each other but they forget "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".  The WMD is either in Iran or Syria.

Perhaps the only revelation that McClellan missed was that Bush waited TOO long to invade Iraq???
