The Obama Press and the Audacity of Dopes

As an illustration of how low the media is willing sink in its support of Barrak Obama, the dopes at MSNBC had the audacity to run this line during Sarah Palins acceptance speech in Ohio.

"How many houses does Palin add to the Republican Ticket"?

The press wonders why they are on the fast track to financial bankruptcy? (See links below) It's because they themselves are for the most part professionally and ethically bankrupt! " Even leftist Bill Maher thinks the press has lost all perspective when he noted that “The coverage after, that I was watching, from MSNBC, I mean these guys were ready to have sex with him.” So before I go on a rant about the imminent demise of the press and how they have essentially abdicated their role as the fifth estate let me answer their question.

She has her family home in Wasilla and this little gem in Juneau, the Alaska Governors Mansion. That would be TWO.

I find the fixation on McCain's housing situation laughable. I'm sure there is a degree of envy involved in the fact that Mac married up. But as I aways say, "It's not your fault if your daddy doesn't have money, but it is your fault if your wife's daddy doesn't have money." Get over it.

Palin?

UPDATE: Saturday, August 30, 2008

I caught the news that Sarah Palin might be named as the vice presidential nominee a few minutes before heading out the door and just had time to post the Mc-Palin logo which I had an file from a week ago when Obama named Biden as his running mate. You see, in a knee jerk reaction to the Biden announcement I wrote that Palin would be the logical choice as the McCain pick. You wont find that on the post however because upon further consideration I had to stick to my first assessment of her as a prospective nominee.

Since then I had been pondering who would be the best choice and there was no one that I could really get excited about. I backed Romney during the primary but as VP the more thought about it I felt there were aspects that were troublsome. Guilliani, Thompson, Leiberman, no way. Pawlenty or Jindal maybe, but again they seemed like safe choices that wouldn't do anything to shake up the race. The more I thought about it and the more I learned about Palin the more sense it made. I realized she was a candidate that I could get exited about.

The text message from the wife read, "I really like her" and I was immediatly run over by the bandwagon. (but then she "really liked" Huckabee and we know how that turned out). My original fears were that she would look inexperienced sitting next to Biden in a debate but having seen her in her acceptance speech and in other venues Biden will come off looking like Darth Vader. She has every bit as much solid government experience behind her as any of the other candidates and she is admired by the people of her state. Other reactions here, here and here. Alaskan Bio Here, Video Here.

The wife wondered how long it would be before the press started making fun of her hair. It became obvious pretty quickly that hair was probably pretty low on the list. As expected, the KO's loons immediately began to wallow in thier own crap but a better gauge of the brilliance of this pick is how Obamaite Andrew Sullivan and others are peeing like puppies over Mac's choice.

Good Luck Sarah, lets win one for the 49th State.

Is he ready?

According to these experts, not so much. According to himself, he's needs to start cramming.

Unity Fest 2008

I had to work last night and missed the opening events of the Democrats Unity Fest but from what I have been able to glean form the nattering nabobs this morning this quote from Obama worshipper Andrew Sullivan sums it up as a "Themeless Bore".

"My hopes weren't high for tonight, and hoisting Ted Kennedy into some kind of speech will probably provide all the drama TV craves. But seriously: what a crashing, distracted, short-attention span craptacular so far."

Biden's 3 AM Phone Call

It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. But there’s a phone in Joe Biden's house and it’s ringing.

"Huh...What the...Hello"

"Joe it's me Barry. Man you gotta take the VP spot."


"Dude it's like 3 o'clock in the frikin morning. And we've already been over this!"

"I know Joe but I really need you man. I can't get anyone else to take the job, and the convention is Monday, and if I don't find someone by then I'll have to take that bitch and her husband, and..."

"Take a breath man you aint on the pipe again are ya?. What about that congressman from Texas? What's his name?"

"Fell out of his chair laughing then dissed me by telling the press how honored he was to be vetted. Bastard! You gotta help me! Joe look, lets uh um be ahh... honest. I need someone who already knows the world’s leaders, knows the military — someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world. That's you Joe, to a MF "T". If I was there right now I'd knuckle bump ya bro, you da man!"

"That would be me alright. But look, it really is a crappy job and....

"Come on man look what Cheney was able to do. You'd be the power behind the throne!"

....As you know I really like John McCain and I was the one that said that "your not ready and the presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training,'"

"Water under the bridge, under the bridge. You can even call me articulate if you want. Please Joe, tell me you'll do it?" Pleeeeease....sob sob sob

It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Are you sure you want to read that text message?

Quatrain 8-29 "The Ticket"

Obama Convention Credentials, Distressing.

From Denver's 9News.com, via Hot Air.

It is silly to parse every move of the messiah and his obvious need to wrap himself in patriotic symbolism, (although Dr. Phil could make a full time job out of it) but today it has been noted that the image on the Obama credentials for his sermon on Mt. Invesco appears to be an inverted flag which is the international sign for distress.

However, it looks more like the flag is not furled at all but laying on the ground which brought back memories of this very special moment in Obama campaign history.

The question is, was this really the inspiration for the artwork on the ticket? Or are the media mavens at the DNC purely "artistes"?

Update: I just caught a snippet of Obama speaking to the VFW and he just warned everyone again not to question his patriotism. Moi?

Excuse Me While I Puke (Again)

From the mouth of the Messiah:

“America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was. And I say to myself, I don’t want that future for my children.”

Exactly what is it about America that Obama would like to return to. Perhaps to the days when his children would not have the chance to live in a million dollar home in the burbs while attending private schools? Or to the days of yesteryear where the idea of a man like Obama holding the highest office in the land was simply obsurd?
And This:

“Sometimes it’s easier to hold onto your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your ignorance. That’s America.”

That's America? Justified in my ignorance? I would wager that if he pontificated those sentiments from nearly any bar stool in America he would be picking his condescending ass up off the floor. Essentially Obama, his wife, or the loonblogs, (try as they might) can't help but make these remarks. These are the basic tenents of their philosophy.

RE: "Because your concepts differ from mine you are ignorant. Because you hold beliefs that differ from mine you are bigoted. Because we hold differing ideals or there are flaws in our society you are evil and we as a nation have failed. Just follow me and I will supply all your needs, raise you up from the darkness of your ignorance, and put you on the path of rightousness so America can once again be that Shining City on a Hill."

No thanks Barry, I don't buy it.
