TIME TO GET STACY A GIG...

Let's face it, folks, there are three lessons we have to take from the Iowa caucus last night:

1. People who meet Rick Santorum like and trust him.
2. Mitt Romney outspent Rick 100:1 and it bought him a lousy eight votes.  He is the Kim Kardashian of GOP politics.
3. ROBERT STACY McCAIN WAS RIGHT.  Not the Sunday morning pundits on any network. Not the 'respectable' bloggers like Red State ("Take me , CNN! Oh, God, take me, take me now!").  Not the Daily Caller with their attempted January surprise revelation of Santorum's Paulie nephew ("The Daily Caller regrets that Mike Tyson was unavailable for comment."). Not all the editorial pages or political analysts.  Robert. Stacy. McCain.  

So it's about time that paid off for him.  It's time to put an end to doing journalism out of a tip jar.  It's time for a campaign to get him on retainer to Fox or Levin or Limbaugh or somebody, as the on-the-scenes, on-the-ground old-school shoeleather reporter Stacy McCain epitomizes.

Surely some program at Fox has the budget for plane tickets and a stipend for Robert Stacy McCain.  They can afford Bob Beckel, for God's sake.

Stacy's not smooth and polished and TV plastic.  He's brash and opinionated and homely as a hickory walking stick.  But smooth and polished and plastic got it wrong, and hickory got it right.

Start contacting Fox today.  Go to the individual programs on the Fox news website and start contacting them NOW.

If we want quality journalism, someone's got to pay for it.

Rupert Murdoch Endorses Immigration Amnesty?!

No surprise here:  Look at the rogue's gallery he's associated with:  Hewlett Packard,proud exporter of embargo'd technology to Iran under Carly Fiorina, Mayor Bloomberg of NYC, the food nazi whose war on transfats has led to charity kitchens throwing away tons of food meant to help the homeless in the middle of a derecession, Boeing,still trying to claw that  tanker contract  back from Airbus.  Plenty of folks who wouldn't mind making nice nice with an Administration free with the checks and happy to hold a grudge.

Rupert Murdoch has never been shy of cozying up with distasteful political movements, as witness his censorship of his own author at his own publishing house, Random House, to curry favor with the red Chinese government.  And for all that Fox has been embraced by conservative mainstream America, it has never been the rightwing bastion that its detractors paint it, as anyone who has ever dealt with Fox/KTTV in Los Angeles can testify.

Portrait of the Media Plutocrat as Ragpicker, 2010

Although Murdoch himself is as much of a transnational plutocrat as George Soros, he is, as he has always been, a businessman, a tradesman, a merchant.  He follows the money.  If pedophilia tested well with focus groups, Cardinal Law of Boston would be hosting Fox News Sunday and Dennis Leary would be playing a wise-ass gay priest cleverly outwitting clueless parents to get at the altar boys.  Right now the money for Fox News is on the American right,but the money in DC is with the globalist left.  It's naive to expect Rupert won't chase both.

Fox and Pelosi Get Stoopid together...

Pelosi: Lawmakers Should Sacrifice Jobs for Health Care (AP)

House Speaker Pelosi says lawmakers aren't in Washington for job security but 'to do the job for the American people.'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged her colleagues to back a major overhaul of U.S. health care even if it threatens their political careers, a call to arms that underscores the issue's massive role in this election year.

Lawmakers sometimes must enact policies that, even if unpopular at the moment, will help the public, Pelosi said in an interview being broadcast Sunday the ABC News program "This Week."

"We're not here just to self-perpetuate our service in Congress," she said. "We're here to do the job for the American people."

It took courage for Congress to pass Social Security and Medicare, which eventually became highly popular, she said, "and many of the same forces that were at work decades ago are at work again against this bill."

It's unclear whether Pelosi's remarks will embolden or chill dozens of moderate House Democrats who face withering criticisms of the health care proposal in visits with constituents and in national polls. Republican lawmaker unanimously oppose the health care proposals, and many GOP strategists believe voters will turn against Democrats in the November elections.

Pelosi, from San Francisco, is more liberal than scores of her Democratic colleagues. But she generally walks a careful line between urging them to back left-of-center policies and giving them a green light to buck party leaders to improve their re-election hopes.

Her comments to ABC, in the interview released Sunday, seemed to acknowledge the widely held view that Democrats will lose House seats this fall -- maybe a lot. They now control the chamber 255 to 178, with two vacancies. Pelosi stopped well short of suggesting Democrats could lose their majority, but she called on members of her party to make a bold move on health care with no prospects of GOP help.

"Time is up," she said. "We really have to go forth."

Her comments somewhat echoed those of President Obama, who said at the end of last week's bipartisan health care summit that Congress should act on the issue and let voters render their verdicts. "That's what elections are for," he said.

The White House says Obama, perhaps on Wednesday, will announce a "way forward" on health care. He, Pelosi, and Senate Democratic leaders have left little doubt that they hope to pass a Democratic-crafted bill under "budget reconciliation" rules that would bar Republican filibusters in the Senate. It's unclear whether Pelosi can muster the needed votes in the House.

White House officials say they will redouble efforts to remind voters that the Senate passed an Obama-backed health care bill in December, with a super majority of 60 votes. The new plan calls for the House to pass that bill and send it to Obama's desk, and then use Senate budget reconciliation rules to make several changes demanded by House Democrats.

Following a Republican victory in Massachusetts last month, Democrats now control 59 of the Senate's 100 seats, one vote short of the number needed to block GOP filibusters.

Pelosi told CNN that "in a matter of days" Democrats will have specific legislative language on health care to show to the public and to wavering lawmakers. She predicted voters will warm up to the bill once they understand its details.

"When we have a bill," she said, "you can bake the pie, you can sell the pie. But you have to have a pie to sell."

Obama and Democratic lawmakers say they may add several more Republican ideas to their legislative package, even if it's unlikely to attract a single GOP vote. One idea, by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., would focus on battling waste and fraud in the medical system.

The main elements of the Democratic plan are known, and opposed by Republicans in Congress. It would insure about 30 million more Americans over 10 years with subsidies for the poor and a new requirement for nearly everyone to carry health insurance.

It would also bar some insurance company practices, such as denying coverage to people with medical problems. And it would establish government-run exchanges to help individuals and small businesses obtain insurance policies, although it would exclude the "public option" that many liberals wanted.
When did Fox become NBC? That is a gross misrepresentation of the bill in those last two paragraphs. If I want uncritical repetition of AP propaganda I could buy the LA Times.

These bills will STILL leave millions of Americans uncovered. Amerians who currently have coverage will lose it,as companies realize it's cheaper to pay the penalties than pay for health plans. Americans who don't need expensive coverage will be forced to buy it, or pay penalties. Americans who lose jobs and any coverage they might have will be forced either buy coverage or pay penatlies while out of work and financially distressed.

This is a BAD bill and it should go away. Period.


And the AMAZING thing is WHO Pelosi is asking to take this risk. This is a women who has steered over $200 million in no-bid contracts to companies she, her husband,or her family have interests in, whose own Cogressional seat MIGHT be at risk if the head of NAMBLA ran against her but not before, and she's asking all these other Democrats to risk their ricebowls, their kickbacks, their safe little gerrymandered empires, for her and Barack Obama? Ain't gonna happen.

Arkansas, Fox News Fighting Over New Theme Song...

Obama "not losing any sleep over" Fox Quagmire...

Riiiiiiight...

And LBJ didn't lose any sleep over Tet...

It Is My Considered Opinion...

Having watched the news all last night, and read the blogs, and listened to the talk radio hosts, and their callers, that calling this a culture is an insult to yeast and bacteria.

Is it time for the mobs to storm the GOP Bastille?

Increasingly these days, it seems that the new motto of the Republican Party is becoming not "no," but "no, I don't want to hear it."



Those of you who have tried to contact a Congressman or Senator not your own may have noticed that e-mails at .gov are being set to filter out communications not from Congressmen's home districts or Senator's home states. They're voting on national issues but feel less inclined to hear from the national electorate.

The same thing is happening with their staffers when you try to reach them by phone.

I'm used to that sort of thing from Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank's crowd. This is new from the GOP and getting worse.

This is something I intend to keep in mind the next time I receive a solicitation e-mail from the RNCC.

Now we have Michael Steele taking a dump on Rush Limbaugh, even while admitting he has never listened to the show. Unelectable and stupid is no way to go through life, son. You would think his treatment during his senatorial run would have shown him the futility of reaching out to the opposition --




-- but it seems an inability to learn from experience is the hallmark of a Good Washington Republican.

Perhaps it is time to demand that the leadership of the RNC be selected by a radical new source. Voting Republicans. It could well be time to demand a national referendum on the GOP leadership. Such an election could be handled by mail-in ballots, and candidates for RNC leadership could state their case in venues made available by the likes of Fox News Sunday and even... dare I say it?... Rush Limbaugh's show.
