Increasingly Influential Network Says Buh-Bye To Butthurt Bathtub Boy
From the New
York Times we learn this shocking news:
This week, the center collapsed.For nearly a year now, Al Gore and Joel Hyatt have been building their liberal cable news channel, Current TV, with the mercurial television anchorman Keith Olbermann at its center.
Current said on Friday afternoon that it had fired Mr. Olbermann—one of the nation’s most prominent progressive speakers—just a year into his five-year, $50 million contract. It was the culmination of months of murky disputes between Mr. Olbermann and the channel that he was supposed to save from the throes of ratings oblivion.
Business
Insider reveals that a source familiar with the situation said Current
decided to let Bathtub Boy go because he “did not respect the viewers of Current.”
The source
added that Olbermann failed to show up for work without authorization, missing
almost half of his working days in the months of January and February.
Olbermann asked for a vacation day on March 5, the night before Super Tuesday,
according to the source. He was told it would be a breach if he took the
vacation, which Olbermann did.
Politico's
Keach Hagey tweets that a source familiar with the firing says Olbermann
was let go "for failing to show up to work, 'sabotaging the network' and
attacking Current execs."
Having bungled
his gigs at ESPN, MSNBC and now Current, it is painfully evident that Bathtub
Boy is incapable of peacefully co-exiting with any media outlet.
What lies
ahead for poor Keef? There’s OWN and
Media Matters. I think Media Matters
would be the perfect place for him to land.
Meanwhile, all three two of his loyal viewers are gnashing their
teeth and running around with their hair on fire.

What Obama Says When He Thinks You Aren’t Listening
Does this frighten you? I’ll bet not as much as it does the Israelis, Poles, Czechs, South Koreans, Japanese and Brits.
The exchange
between Obama and Medvedev during the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, South
Korea raised alarm from critics about Obama’s long-term commitment to the
missile-defense system promoted as a shield to protect Europe from missile attacks
by Iran. The Russians worry it's aimed at them and opposition to the missile
shield was a major theme of Vladimir Putin’s presidential campaign.
Now we have irrefutable
evidence that the errand boy sent by grocery clerks is the worst president
EVER.
Newt Gingrich,
GOP contender for president told CNN, “I’m curious, how many other countries
has the president promised that he’d have a lot more flexibility the morning he
doesn’t have to answer to the American people?”
House
Speaker John Boehner, said "we look forward" to hearing what the
president meant by "more flexibility" when he returns from South
Korea.
By Monday
afternoon, the Republican National Committee had cut a video ad with the
subtitle, "What Obama tells world leaders when he thinks you aren't
listening."

Santorum Swears At New York Times Reporter
According to
an AP report appearing in The
Washington Post, while GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum was
speaking to an audience of supporters, he said that Romney is “uniquely
disqualified” to be the GOP’s presidential pick and urged his supporters to
stand with him even as he faces an increasingly improbable pathway to the
nomination. Santorum said “the race isn’t over until the people of Wisconsin
sing,” and urged them to give his underfunded, underdog campaign a chance to
derail Romney.
Later, near
Racine at an evening rally, he said, “Pick any other Republican in the country. He is the worst Republican in
the country to put up against Barack Obama.”
In an attempt to clarify his statement, his temper flared.
“On the issue
of health care. That’s what I was talking about, and I was very clear about
talking about that. OK?” Santorum told reporters who asked him about the
scathing criticism. “Come on, guys, don’t do this. I mean, you guys are
incredible. I was talking about Obamacare, and he is the worst because he was
the author of Romneycare.”
Pressed by a
reporter from The New York Times, Santorum said: “Quit distorting my words.
It’s bulls---.”
I ask Santorum if Romney is "worst Republican" to run. He says: “Quit distorting my words It's bullshit." He says he was talking health care
— Jeff Zeleny (@jeffzeleny) March 26, 2012
Am I the only
one who sees the scorching irony in the Drudge Report screencap where Santorum
is pictured with fire-breathing pastor Dennis Terry at a Baton Rouge revival nodding
in reverence? Or his devotion to
his faith and the need to swear?
If this man
hopes to be the leader of the free world he must (1) get a handle on his temper,
(2) remember that the Office of the President requires that he embody dignity and (3)
must not let the media play him like a cheap fiddle.

Prediction: The Heels Will Clip The Jayhawks’ Wings
Tip off at the
Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis is set for 5:05PM in the Midwest Regional Finals
where the KU Jayhawks will face the North Carolina Tarheels.
The matchup
analysis favors Carolina’s defense.
Kansas is given the offensive and overall edge in the game.
Let’s remember
that the 30-6 Jayhawks barely squeaked by the Boilermakers of Purdue and the NC
State Wolfpack in the last two rounds of the tourney.
Carolina’s
point guard, Kendall Marshall, won’t take the floor today according to the
latest update on his injured wrist. That
means that Stilman White will be pressed into action. Against Ohio in Friday’s game, he played 32
minutes and had six assists and zero turnovers.
This will be
the first time Kansas and North Carolina have played since the 2008 Final Four,
when KU jumped out to a 40-12 lead and eventually won 84-66.
North Carolina
won the national title in 2005 and again in 2009, and is in the regional finals
for the sixth time under Coach Roy Williams. The Tar Heels are a No. 1 seed for
a record 14th time.
Both teams had
difficulty getting to this point, but Coach Williams has a point to prove.
As a die-hard Duke
fan, I’m rooting for the Heels. Based on
mascots alone, Ramses is waaaaay tougher than some damn blue bird. SRSLY.
Go Heels
UPDATE 7:08PM: Congratulations to all you Jayhawks fans. You won a gritty game against Carolina 80-67. Best of luck to Kansas in the Final Four in New Orleans.
Oh, and hey, Heels fans, you lost the ACC Title and you came up empty in the NCAA Tourney. I love it. See you on the court in the fall. Go Duke.

White House Silent On Second Anniversary Of ObamaCare Scam
March 23, 2012 marked the second anniversary of
ObamaCare, but there
were no celebrations at the White House marking President Obama’s signature
accomplishment.
Instead, the White House is
hawking a potty-mouth T-shirt for 30 bucks that refers to Joe Biden’s
vulgar whisper in the president’s ear, and caught on tape, calling the
Affordable Care Act a “big f—king deal.”
Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell gave a sarcastic poke in the eye saying, “I saw
the president down at the White House. I’m
a little surprised, but there wasn’t a birthday cake to celebrate the second
anniversary of ObamaCare."
That’s not a new necklace the president is
wearing. It’s a political
albatross around his neck. This regime awaits the high
stakes hearings on the constitutionality of the law by the Supreme Court beginning
March 26.
The next day,
March 27th, will be devoted to arguments involving the administration's claim
that not buying insurance somehow constitutes interstate commerce that may be
regulated by Congress.
The
28th will be devoted to the commandeering and severability issues. The Democrats, you will recall, failed
to include a severability clause in Obamacare. This, in theory, means that the
Court must invalidate the entire law if it strikes down the mandate. If the
justices follow the example of U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson, PPACA is
toast. Unfortunately, the precedents aren't as clear on this issue as one might
wish. The justices have demonstrated a willingness to ignore the absence of
severability language when it suits them.
Charles
Krauthammer’s Op-Ed in The Washington
Post sums up ObamaCare nicely: “Rarely
has one law so exemplified the worst of the Leviathan state—grotesque cost,
questionable constitutionality and arbitrary bureaucratic coerciveness. Little
wonder the president barely
mentioned it in his latest State
of the Union address. He wants to be reelected. He’d rather talk about
other things.”
“But there’s
no escaping it now. Oral arguments begin Monday at 10 a.m.”
Oh, and just for shits and giggles, the #ILikeObamaCare hashtag launched by President Whiny’s re-election campaign was hijacked by conservatives. The Daily Caller dutifully notes, “The Twitter hashtag was the most popular in the world Friday afternoon, but not for reasons the Obama campaign wanted.”

Maher's Attacks
Re: “Please
Stop Apologizing,” by Bill Maher (Op-Ed, March 22):
We’re both
women who have worked in Democratic politics and the media for decades and find
Bill Maher’s misogynist treatment of women candidates deeply disturbing.
Coincidentally we both hail from Alaska—where women are treated as equals—so
perhaps our threshold for this kind of behavior is less than here in the Lower
48.
Mr. Maher has
implicitly attempted to tie his own demeaning attacks on women to the unrelated
issue of partisan-motivated fake outrage, which we agree is tiring. While
others have been held to account for their sexism, Mr. Maher remains
unrepentant for his attacks on women in public life.
How can we
expect women to run for office when they are essentially told to “lighten up
about” and accept misogynist attacks? The Women’s Media Center has found that
such attacks on women candidates have a measurable negative effect on how
voters view them.
Our message to
Mr. Maher and his ilk is: Please start apologizing.

Right Jabs For March 24, 2012
Herewith, all the news that's fit to link from conservative blogger friends. Enjoy.
Once you've
heard one Obama speech on oil, you've
heard them all.
Apparently, it
doesn’t pay to be a drummer at Occupy Maine.
Please. Don’t
feed the animals.
But there are
enough of the naive elsewhere to give the president some Hope that there
will be no Change.
The eternal
sunshine of the spotless memory hole.
Check closely. A man and his dog.
When King Hussein Obama demands courtesy, you’d
better give it to him.
The great oil flim-flam.
…they
suddenly awake to find they have communism.
President
Obama’s willingness
to falsify the facts about a personal tragedy in order to make a political
point speaks volumes about not only his cynicism but also his character.
…keep in
mind that I’m a comedian when I call your mother a whore.
…because what Maher decries is
their very reason for existence.
Immelt’s
conversion from public Obama supporter to a private
detractor is important: It shows how even businessmen who feast off his
subsidies worry about his overall economic agenda and its long-term impact on
the economy.
Hundreds died
in a plot that appears to have been designed
to impose gun control. It’s past time for the appointment of an independent
prosecutor, and to press for criminal charges against those responsible for the
carnage that has resulted from the deadliest scandal in U.S. government
history.
I think I’ve
probably heard about the stupidest
thing this election cycle in an election cycle that’s been wrought
with stupidity.
Imagine all
the things government planners cannot anticipate when, in
their defining hubris, they try to impose their static dream of the “right
kind” of future.
Once a slug,
always a slug, silky
pony...
…but
still the Syrian
people loved this very modern woman, slim with a great sense of style and
never seen in a burqa.
It's so
pathetic, I found myself thinking, it's genuinely dumb-ugly and beyond his
girlfriend, if he has one, and his parents, who
would read such nonsense?
I tuned in mostly to stare at it in
utter effing disbelief. You know, if anybody on the whole planet but
beloved token Bill Cosby had made a cartoon about a group of ugly, stupid poor
black children in the ghetto, he’d've been run out of town on a banjo.
The fight
for freedom never ends.
“If
you’re not prepared to go to jail to stand up for your freedoms, you
don’t understand what this election is about.”
”Just the other night my wife came to me on
her hands and knees."
His clowning achievement.
So President
Obama is apparently endorsing
this as something appropriate for a president to peddle...
A fairly raucous hash tag game broke out
on Twitter.
Obama’s
Chevy Go-Cart has a hard time staying on the road.
Stop me if you’ve heard
this one before.
Isn’t it racist
to talk about a black guy “evolving?”
We can fix
this on our terms, while we still control our destiny, or we can wait until
we are like the decrepit Soviet Union or today’s Greece, sold into penury and
helplessly prostrate before the international bankers and enemy nations eager
for our humiliating comeuppance.
President
Obama’s emotional siding with Trayvon Martin in the Rose Garden Friday, hailed
by some as a moment of leadership on race relations, is an
egregious abnegation of duty that could help lead to race riots and further
deaths.
People who read the
Constitution are
a threat to the people who trample on the Constitution.
Enjoy your weekend. Stay safe out there and please come back.

Speak No Evil
Allahpundit
begins his post over at Hot
Air with this line: “Faced with the reality that his chances have collapsed,
the Sweater Vest begins to unravel.”
I haven’t yet weighed
in on who I’d vote for in this presidential primary cycle. Well, that’s not
entirely true. Prior to the Iowa
Caucuses, my support was going to Thad McCotter.
Thad McCotter
wasn’t allowed to participate in the Fox News/Washington Examiner Iowa
Republican Party debate. Criteria
for inclusion in the debate did not allow several other candidates, or
potential candidates, to participate in the debate, including Buddy Roemer and Fred
Karger who did not meet the polling criterion of at least 1% in 5 national
polls.
Shortly after the
debate in Ames, Iowa Thad dropped out of the race saying in an interview with The Detroit News that, "If they
keep you out of the debates, you are out of the conversation, and you can't
run. It was sort of death by media."
It is my
considered opinion that if McCotter had been in the Ames debate that the GOP
political landscape would look very different today and for the better. But that’s a discussion for another day.
On Thursday,
March 22, 2012 Rick Santorum uttered
something unbelievably reckless:
“You win by
giving people a choice,” Santorum said during a campaign stop in Texas. “You
win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country,
not someone who’s just going to be a little different than the person in
there.”
Santorum
added: “If they’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with
what we have instead of taking a risk of what may be the Etch A Sketch
candidate for the future.”
Many of my
blogger friends have come out strongly for Rick Santorum. I had chosen to wait and watch. I’ve waited long enough.
Despite the
protestations of Erick Erickson of Red
State who opined, “Much hay is being made of Rick Santorum saying he’d
prefer Obama to Romney. Except that is not what he said or what he meant.
Certainly he could have had a clarifying clause in his statement, but given the
context, I think he was saying no more and no less than what I have been
saying.”
Erick, he
said, “…we may as well stay with what we have…”
Even the most rudimentary student of the English language or PoliSci 101
knows the inference was to vote to give the errand boy sent by grocery clerks a
second term.
Then there’s
Stacy McCain who jumped on the Santorum bandwagon after Herman Cain bowed out
of the race following his unfortunate bimbo eruption. No
more stalwart supporter can be found in the dextrosphere.
Stacy posted
his thoughts saying, “Santorum was making the same argument Phyllis Schlafly
made in her 1964 classic, A Choice Not an Echo.
He is saying something he has said many times—and something Newt Gingrich has
also said—that Romney fails to offer a clear contrast to Obama. In this
context, when Santorum said ‘we might as well stay with what we have,’ he
clearly meant to express what the
reaction of regular voters would be, if presented with someone who is just ‘a
little different’ than the incumbent. Santorum
did not express himself clearly, but awkwardness of expression is not the same
as endorsing Barack Obama’s re-election.”
Erickson and
McCain both agree that Santorum was, shall we say, inarticulate. I believe it goes much deeper.
Whoever the
next president is, will appoint up to three Supreme Court Justices during his
term. Those appointments are for life. “Staying
with what we have” means that Obama will appoint liberal justices who will be
activists who could, potentially, increase the threats to the rule of law and
further infringe upon our liberty.
During
a September 2001 Chicago public radio program that aired on Chicago’s WBEZ-FM
on September 6, 2001, titled “Slavery and
the Constitution”, then Illinois State Senator Barack Obama said, “I think
we can say that the Constitution reflected an enormous blind spot in this
culture that carries on until this day, and that the Framers had that same
blind spot. I don’t think the two views are contradictory, to say that it was a
remarkable political document that paved the way for where we are now, and to
say that it also reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues
to this day.”
Another point to be made is that the Democrats took solid
control of the Senate and the House in 2006.
Their progressive agenda, along with squishy Republicans is what put this
country on its knees.
A clear message was sent to the Houses of Congress in the
2010 election via the Tea Party Movement.
It takes time to sever the tentacles of the monster that has held our
government hostage for the past six years.
If Romney does become the nominee at the GOP convention in
Tampa, we must coalesce behind him.
I find that Rick Santorum is easily led astray by the Left’s
taunting of him. He lacks focus. He spends too much time with long knives out
for his rivals and not enough time attacking the real problem—the current
occupant of the Oval Office—a man who is committed to the radical
transformation of the country we love.
Four more years will only make the community organizer
bolder and brasher and more narcissistic.
Santorum made an egregious mistake uttering those words and
I join Jeff Dunetz of Yid
With Lid, who today, has withdrawn his support.
Dunetz writes, “Yesterday, Rick Santorum showed
himself too immature to be President of the United States.”
He continues, “I
am sure Santorum will try and walk back the statement but is too late, the
damage has been done. Rick Santorum committed the ultimate sin for a 2012
GOP candidate—saying Barack Obama would be preferred over his opponents. This
was hyperbole, which is both false and irresponsible.”
“Barack Obama
represents the biggest threat to individual freedom in my lifetime (Joe Biden
might even say in the past 500 years). Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney would be
far superior to Barack Obama. With his suggestion to the contrary, Santorum
proves himself to be less than ready to handle the job.”
Santorum’s recklessness
in the heat of battle is also a clear indicator that he is not ready for prime
time.
UPDATE: On Friday’s edition of Your World, Neil Cavuto said, “A lot of folks think you committed political suicide.” Santorum replied, “Neil, this is just laughable…the highest priority in this country is to defeat Barack Obama. And, what I was saying there was, if we don’t have a choice, then the American public may decide to keep Barack Obama, that’s all I said.”

Paul Harvey: “If I Were The Devil” (Warning For A Nation)
“If I Were The Devil” was an essay
popularized by syndicated columnist Paul Harvey. The oldest known version of his essay dates
back to 1964.
“If I were the
devil, I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree—Thee.
So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert
the churches first—I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom
of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please.’
“To the young,
I would whisper, ‘The Bible is a myth.’ I would convince them that man created
God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good,
and what is good is ‘square.’ And the old, I would teach to pray after me, ‘Our
Father, which art in Washington.’
“And then I’d
get organized. I’d educate authors on how to lurid literature exciting, so that
anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier
movies and vice versa. I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to
ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.
“If I were the
devil I’d soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves
and nations at war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And
with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames.
If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but
neglect to discipline emotions—just let those run wild, until before you knew
it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every
schoolhouse door.
“Within a
decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography—soon
I could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from
the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology
for religion, and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing
boys and girls, and church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbol of
Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.
“If I were the
devil I’d take from those who have, and give to those wanted until I had killed
the incentive of the ambitious. What do you bet I could get whole states to
promote gambling as the way to get rich? I would caution against extremes and
hard work, and patriotism, and moral conduct. I would convince the young that
marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on TV
is the way to be. And thus I could undress you in public, and I could lure
you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I
were the devil I’d just keep right on doing what he’s doing. Paul Harvey, good
day.”

Obama’s XL Pipeline Etch A Sketch: The Knobs Do Nothing
In
a March 22, 2012 Gallup
Poll, asked as part of its annual Environment Survey, 57% of Americans
approve of construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. Forty-four percent of Democrats and 51% of
independents approve as well. That
polling information is the chief reason for the current occupier of the Oval
Office to “shake up” his XL pipeline decision.
In
an “etch
a sketch” moment of his own, the errand boy sent by grocery clerks
announced that he would speed up the permit process for the southern section of
the pipeline—just in time for the presidential election. No obvious political expediency in evidence
here. Meh.
Rep. John
Sullivan (R-Okla.) says when Obama stands in Cushing for his photo-op that he’s
pulling a fast one on Americans.
In an
interview with KJRH,
Sullivan, Chairman of the House Energy and Power Subcommittee, said, “President
Obama claiming credit for speeding up the Keystone pipeline is like Al Gore saying
he invented the Internet—it is claiming credit where credit isn't due. This is
clearly an attempt to deflect attention from $4 gas and his failed energy
policies, and Oklahomans won't buy it. The southern portion of Keystone
XL doesn’t cross international lines and doesn’t need presidential
approval. In fact, this administration has done everything in their power
to delay the Keystone process—just last week the President personally lobbied
members of Congress to vote against it,” Sullivan stated.
“Simply put,
the southern portion of keystone—from Cushing, OK to the Gulf Coast—is being
built in spite of the Obama Administration, not because of them. This
portion of the pipeline does require numerous permits, but those come from
state authorities, army corps of engineers and fish and wildlife services, not
the president,” he concluded.
Here’s an excerpt of an Op-Ed which appears in today’s The
Oklahoman:
"Forgive us,
sir, if we don’t share your grudging acceptance of fossil fuel as some
“temporary” alternative to the energy sources you prefer. It’s not that we
dislike wind power. Lord knows we have plenty of wind. Suburban Oklahomans have
embraced wind for their electricity, just as their homesteading ancestors
embraced windmills on treeless plains. The head of a national wind energy trade
association is a former member of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which
regulates the oil and gas industry."
"She loves wind
power. But she also gets the criticality of hydrocarbons. Do you?"
"Mr. President,
it’s not that we don’t want a bridge to a future that doesn’t rely on imported
oil. In fact, we think a key truss on that bridge is a fossil fuel
called natural gas. We have lots of it, but your administration seems keen on
restricting its exploration."
"In the town
that fossil fuel built, we don’t feel trapped in the past, as you put it the
other day. We not flat earthers. We’re deep earthers. We don’t cling to our
rotary rigs or nodding donkeys (pumpjacks). We recognize their necessity."
"State Rep. Lee
Denney, who represents the area you’ll visit in Cushing, notes that a future
without oil and gas exists only in your head, not in reality."
"So demagogue
all you want about under-taxed oil barons. Just remember that you didn’t arrive
here on a solar-powered aircraft. What flows in and out of the Pipeline
Crossroads of the World is oil. Getting it to Cushing is expensive and risky."
"Eighty-two
years ago, on March 26, 1930, the rumbling at a drilling rig in southeast
Oklahoma City turned to a roar. Terrified roughnecks fled when high-pressure
natural gas sent pipes and rocks into the air. It took 11 days to tame the Wild
Mary Sudik well. But tame it we did."
"Eight decades
later we’re still taming hydrocarbons around here, in the town that fossil fuel
built."

Saving Private Focker
It seems two Hollywood superstars have stepped in a sizeable pile
of muck; Tom Hanks eight years ago at a fundraising auction for St. Matthew’s
Parish School and Robert De Niro, just this week, at a Democratic fundraiser.
Both actors are in full damage control mode.
During the video unearthed by The
Daily Caller, Hanks is seen onstage with an investment banker in a blackface
skit and is heard saying, “Oh jeez…Ladies and gentlemen, a celebrity in our
midst! Who would have thought that Bill
O’Reilly would join us?”
The shitstorm that followed prompted Hanks to
offer an apology. “In 2004, I was
blindsided when one of the parents got up on the stage in a costume that was
hideously offensive then and is hideously offensive now. What is usually a night of food and drink for
a good cause was, regrettably, marred by an appalling few moments.”
In addressing the issue more fully to The Daily Caller, our boy Tom, offered a
belated apology to O’Reilly saying, "I used Bill O'Reilly as the
punch line of an uncomfortable joke that was hardly funny and [was]
unfair. I have no reason to think Mr.
O'Reilly would have found both the reason for the joke nor my use of it funny
in any way."
In another example of
Leftist raaaaacism, Robert De Niro on Wednesday, apologized for joking at a Democratic
fundraiser with Michelle Obama about the possibility of having a "white
first lady" at the White House after November's presidential elections.
The Oscar-winning star of "The Godfather: Part II" and "Raging
Bull" said he had intended no offense with the remark
about the wives of Republican presidential contenders Newt Gingrich, Rick
Santorum and Mitt Romney.
He opened the
fundraiser saying, “Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you
really think our country is ready for a white first lady?”
According to
the report, the crowd of $5,000-a-plate donors waiting to hear from the
nation’s first black first lady roared in approval, and De Niro finished: “Too
soon, right?”
De Niro’s “the
devil made me do it” statement: "My remarks, although spoken with
satirical jest, were not meant to offend or embarrass anyone—especially the
first lady.”
So, my
Photoshop™ software, having a mind of its own, whipped up this graphic of two
stupid Hollywood idiots. I would
apologize for it, but why should I? It
was satirical jesting and it is meant to embarrass these towering examples of
stupidity and Lefty raaaaacism.

And That’s Why He Won’t Be On Mount Rushmore
Mark Steyn was
interested in the rest of the “yukfest
of history’s biggest idiots” by the current occupant of The Oval Office.
He notes that
many of the zingers sounded as though they had been swiped from one of those “Top
Twenty Useful Quotes for Forward-Looking Inspirational Speakers” and from
Wikiquotes.
President
Pantload said, “There always have been folks who are the naysayers and don’t
believe in the future, and don’t believe in trying to do things differently.
One of my predecessors, Rutherford B. Hayes, reportedly said about the
telephone, ‘It’s a great invention, but who would ever want to use one?’ That’s
why he’s not on Mount Rushmore—because he’s looking backwards. He’s not looking
forwards. He’s explaining why we can’t do something, instead of why we can do
something.”
Nan Card, Curator
of Manuscripts at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center, quickly put the kibosh
on TPM by informing them that President Hayes had
the first telephone in the White House, and the first typewriter, and Edison
visited him to demonstrate the phonograph.
So the errand
boy sent by grocery clerks may have gotten a room full of chuckles from the
blissfully ignorant audience, but the citation about President Hayes was bullshit
a lie.
Steyn writes, "A great nation
needs successful self-made businessmen and purveyors of scholarly
excellence. It’s not clear why it needs a smug over-credentialed President
Solyndra to recycle Crowd-Pleasing for Dummies as a keynote address."
They all
laughed at Christopher Columbus, they all laughed at Edison and Steyn believes
that history will laugh at us for ever taking this president seriously.
Amen, brother
Steyn, amen.
