No wonder Glenn Beck’s ratings are so damn good. Here’s a clip from his radio show where he ad libs about Chris Matthews stupid “I forgot Obama was black” comment for nine hilarious minutes.
Record levels of global warming piled up in Washington, DC this weekend
The pathetically unprophetic Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. wrote a column last year in which he bemoaned global warming and suggested that children of the future might never see snow again.
As this weekend’s mammoth blizzard proves, RFK, Jr. is a highly-qualified global warming expert and fully prepared to serve on the IPCC (in case you didn’t recognize it, that’s what’s known in journalistic circles as sarcasm).
The Washington Examiner reports the chilling details:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who flies around on private planes so as to tell larger numbers of people how they must live their lives in order to save the planet, wrote a column last year on the lack of winter weather in Washington, D.C.
In Virginia, the weather also has changed dramatically. Recently arrived residents in the northern suburbs, accustomed to today’s anemic winters, might find it astonishing to learn that there were once ski runs on Ballantrae Hill in McLean, with a rope tow and local ski club. Snow is so scarce today that most Virginia children probably don’t own a sled. But neighbors came to our home at Hickory Hill nearly every winter weekend to ride saucers and Flexible Flyers.
In those days, I recall my uncle, President Kennedy, standing erect as he rode a toboggan in his top coat, never faltering until he slid into the boxwood at the bottom of the hill. Once, my father, Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, brought a delegation of visiting Eskimos home from the Justice Department for lunch at our house. They spent the afternoon building a great igloo in the deep snow in our backyard. My brothers and sisters played in the structure for several weeks before it began to melt. On weekend afternoons, we commonly joined hundreds of Georgetown residents for ice skating on Washington’s C&O Canal, which these days rarely freezes enough to safely skate.
Meanwhile, Exxon Mobil and its carbon cronies continue to pour money into think tanks whose purpose is to deceive the American public into believing that global warming is a fantasy.
Throw another log on the fire, RFK, Jr., or all this global warming fantasy will freeze your ass off.
LSD in the drinking water. That’s the only reasonable explanation for the reaction of the Woman’s Media Center to Tim and Pam Tebow’s Super Bowl commercial.
The Associated Press reports the lunacy:
The Women’s Media Center, which had objected to Focus on the Family advertising in the Super Bowl, said it was expecting a “benign” ad but not the humor. But the group’s president, Jehmu Greene, said the tackle showed an undercurrent of violence against women.
“I think they’re attempting to use humor as another tactic of hiding their message and fooling the American people,” she said.
We’ve watched the commercial about a dozen times trying to find some of that violence. We even went through it frame-by-frame thinking that maybe they had hidden some of that subliminal advertising stuff in the commercial. We’re sad to report that we were unable to find any violence against women noted by the Women’s Media Center.
Of course, were not highly-trained observers like the folks at the Women’s Media Center.
Now that we’ve seen the “controversial” Tim Tebow pro-life Super Bowl commercial, we’re not sure what the pro-abortion people were so upset about.
There was no mention of abortion. No mention of the fact that Pam Tebow risked her life by giving birth to Tim. In fact, the message was vague at best.
Pam Tebow: I call him my miracle baby. He almost didn’t make it into this world. I remember so many times when I almost lost him. It was so hard. Well he’s all grown up now, and I still worry about his health. Everybody treats him like he’s different, but to me, he’s just my baby. He’s my Timmy, and I love him.
Tim Tebow: Thanks, mom. Love you, too.
Our bottom line: Pam Tebow’s kind of hot, isn’t she?
Tom Tancredo’s back. The former Republican rep from Colorado raised the hackles of the left when he spoke at the National Tea Party Convention this week.
Tancredo: “Mostly because I think we do not have a civics literacy test before people can vote in the country, people who could not even spell the word, “vote,” or say it in English, put a committed, socialist ideologue in the White House. The name is Barack Hussein Obama.”
Of course, the left is howling that Tancredo’s comment is raaaaaacist because it evokes images of literacy tests in the old South. And, of course, any criticism of Barack Hussein Obama is raaaaaacist.
But to us it brings up images people swooning at campaign rallies and saying that Obama was going to pay their bills.
If not illiterate, completely irredeemably ignorant.
Oh, my, Obama. The Narcissist-in-Chief spoke at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser the other night and told the tragic tale of a campaign worker who died from breast cancer:
I got a letter — I got a note today from one of my staff — they forwarded it to me — from a woman in St. Louis who had been part of our campaign, very active, who had passed away from breast cancer. She didn’t have insurance. She couldn’t afford it, so she had put off having the kind of exams that she needed. And she had fought a tough battle for four years. All through the campaign she was fighting it, but finally she succumbed to it. And she insisted she’s going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt.
A touching story made all the more touching by the fact that Obama uses the woman’s death to praise his own inspirational leadership. It’s that kind of nervous, awkward laughter that comes from an audience that isn’t quite sure what kind of response is appropriate.
To see the comment, go straight to the 8:25 mark of the embedded video. Notice that the crowd reacts to the story by laughing despite the fact that Obama seems completely serious.
We’re not even sure we buy the story. Who was the woman? What was her name? What was her story? Tell us about her. The World’s Greatest Orator should know that stories are much more effective when they’re personalized with authentic details.
Keith Olbermann's audience is abandoning him like he's a baby girl in China
Remember a year or so ago when Keith Olbermann bragged about his ratings on the air? Don’t expect to see a replay of that show anytime soon.
Daily Finance reports the details:
Keith Olbermann was already a renowned sportscaster when he rose to prominence as a political commentator. This was during the Bush Administration, when the left was badly in need of a forceful voice to rally around. Such was his popularity that MSNBC reoriented its entire primetime lineup around it.
But now the Democrats control Congress and the White House, and there are creeping indications that the world may not have quite as much need of — or patience for — Olbermann and his shtick as it once did.
Ratings for Olbermann’s Countdown have been soft recently, and the 8 p.m. shows on CNN and HLN have narrowed the gap. In the important demographic of adults 25 to 54 — the group advertisers are looking to reach — Countdown was down 44% year-over-year in January. It averaged 268,000 viewers in that demo, only 3,000 more than Nancy Grace’s show on HLN, and 12,000 more than CNN’s Campbell Brown. Fox News’s O’Reilly Factor dominated the hour with 964,000 viewers age 25 to 54, and was the only cable news show in the time period to increase its audience, by 55%.
Olbermann can console himself with the fact that he still has highest ratings at MSNBC. Of course, that’s kind of like bragging that you’re the tallest Munchkin.
Prince Charles isn’t quite the global warming hypocrite Al Gore is. But he’s working on it. The un-peripatetic prince traveled to Manchester to give a global warming speech aboard the Royal Train, pulled across the British countryside by a pollution-spewing, coal-fired steam locomotive.
The delusional Keith Olbermann seems outraged – absolutely outraged – that several media outlets said his program is in danger of being cancelled due to low ratings.
OK. OK. We know Miss Alaska didn’t write that line. Nor did poor Miss Whatever who was sent out to say she hadn’t slept with Tiger Woods. Some idiot Hollywoodish writer is responsible.
The children really don’t need our help as much these days anyway, now that they’re all being adopted by Madonna and Angelina Jolie. So it’s only fair that the rest of us should adopt the environment as our cause. No matter how expensive and stupid it may be.
FDR had “Happy Days Are Here Again” and Bill Clinton had “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow.” Now Barack Obama has followed in those liberal icons’ footsteps by choosing a brand spankin’ new theme song for his administration.
You might wonder what Barack Obama, Sarah Palin and Scott Brown have in common. Well, fear not because the Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson is about to tell you:
What could be worse than President Obama showing up on television on Super Bowl Sunday? How about President Obama being interviewed by Katie Couric right before the game.
Megyn Kelly of Fox News didn’t take any crap from the overexposed attorney Gloria Allred during a discussion about the Tim Tebow’s pro-life commercial set to air during the Super Bowl.
Nevadastu: Did you notice how he seemed to be unsure about whether he should tell the story? He seemed to be hemming and hawing more than usual at that part, but in the end, he couldn’t resist kissing his own ass. He looked and sounded like the fool that he is.
KimmyQueen: I love you people but 10 minutes…? Although I did appreciate marking the spot to avoid most of the nonsense. It is hard to watch 10 minutes straight of Obamy. It is disgusting these “stories” ; that are flat out lies but even more disgusting the fact that he HAD to...
ocmadam: Somehow the image of an erect JFK standing on a tobaggan on a down hill course (scotch involved perhaps?) and Bobby bringing the eskimo delegation to his house to do yard work makes me forget for an hour the Kennedy’s are just a bunch of rich, out of touch elitists
KimmyQueen: I am actually sick of winter and I wish some global warming could be true right now…
Jane: “They spit on troops coming home from war for being “baby-killers” and then they drive themselves over to the local abortion clinic and kill babies. I don’t think they even realize the irony in their very existence!” AMEN.
KimmyQueen: The tackle makes me laugh every single time. These “women” are freaks of nature. They are the ones that are abnormal and normal true women like Ms. Tebow makes them realize their shortcomings even if they don’t want to admit them.
KimmyQueen: Exactly…. Exactly. No peep either about the old lady being jumped on by young men either in another commercial. Which was funny. The problem with THIS commercial is that it reminds CERTAIN women that some women are not like them and it hurts. Certain women do not want to be...
DJ: LMAO!!! I forgot about that line! Actually, I think he said he wanted to be one, but either way, the SNL skit was freakin’ hilarious!
KimmyQueen: I truly dislike him. I was in the past hoping that if he does get to be King that he would abdicate to marry what’s her name. Isn’t she divorced and her ex-husband is not dead…? His great uncle abdicated for that same reason so I was shock that the marriage happened...
danybhoy: KQ, Since he really has no job, he has time to be the way he is. His theme song could be “Too Much Time On My Hands” by Styx. He should not take over the British Throne when the Queen passes. He should turn it down & pass it on to Prince William. Prince Charles is not...
danybhoy: If you know the movie “Animal House” this clip explains it all when it comes to Obama & the Dems… http://www.youtube.c om/?v=zOXtWxhlsUg BTW, language warning.
dryerasemarxist: so how’s that hopey changey stuff workin’ for ya, all you idiots who voted this disaster of a “presidentR 21; into office? I’ll tell you how it’s working for me. I made less than I did last year. I just did my tax return and will pay almost $1,600...
danybhoy: El-Rushbo has “chronic anger driven tirades”? You really need to listen to more talk radio. I have never heard him go bonkers like other I have heard, or seen if you include cable talkers.
Diego: So Gondorino, do you have anything of actual substance to write or are you just a one-and-done liberal troll like I see on all the blogs recently? I swear it’s like you people are getting paid to cruise the web and type liberal drivel, aka substandard talking points and tired ad...
KimmyQueen: I disagree somewhat. Most of the people that voted for him fell for the hope and change crap. They believed it meant something OTHER than what it really meant and the MSM was a reason a lot of people were ignorant of him and his ways and his pals before they voted for him. People...
Gondorino: Hmmm, having to pass a literacy test certainly would put the 26% hard core Republicans at risk to vote. That is the group of followers, and they need a Limpballs, or Beck, or Tancredo or other non-thinker to guide them. But lumping all of the Independents into that group seems to...
danybhoy: On that note here is my pick… http://www.patspaper s.com//story_stack/i tem/man_arrested_wit h_75_bottles_of_loti on_in_pants/ …to fully understand my lotion comment, do a google video search for “red eye robot theater”. That will explain everything.
danybhoy: Thanks for mentioning Newsbusters, that is my main media news site, there are some really good staffers there, & they have excelent posters as well.
Vincent: I guess its true then some turban wearing extremists with box cutters high jacked American airlines and getting past the strongest superpower in the world crashed them into the W.T.C and made the buildings collapsed. That’s the biggest crock of sh*t, there is so much evidence out...
Jay Kanter: Again,Olbermann is mentally and emotionally disturbed.He is an attack dog for the Democratic party.The whole MSNBC network,Shuster,Matt hews,Shultz,Maddow,M itchell,etc.are also attack dogs for the Democratic party.I HOPE THEY ALL GET RABIES.
IMO: Will the delusional Keith Olbermann consult w/ the WH on how their new math might help his ratiings. Then he can start a new media poll based on Saved Viewers.
danybhoy: This sucks if you are BathTubBoy, but I’m not satisfied. I want his numbers to keep going through the floor, & continue down into the earths core. I want the numbers to get smaller, gradually, day by day, & just kill this guy off by degrees in a slow burn. I want...
Gondorino: My Dad always told me that that there wasn’t much difference between giant monopolistic corporations and socialism — in either case the citizens have little power to have much influence over the issues and decisions that impact our lives. That is where the USA is, and has...
KimmyQueen: I take offense to this. I know a great deal of women and have seen a great deal of women who can throw a ball of any kind in great ways.
Phoenix Watcher: It’s a nightmare….MAK E HIM GO AWAY! GET OFF MY SUPERBOWL PREGAME & ANY OTHER SPORTS EVENT PRESIDENT OBAMA! I’ve seen MORE than enough of you! And take your liberal cronies with you!
KimmyQueen: Okay it was kind of funny because it seems so far fetched… but once you do realize that it really isn’t it is really that funny anymore. It is actually very scary and if we don’t wise up it is coming.
wes in mt: Green is dead. Long live carbon dioxide!!!!!
matthew s harrison: actually Mike R-the nazis used gas chambers for the most part. That is some really sick stuff that AUDI busted out-and I am really in on the boycott too. We were just looking at audis and will stop that right away.
KimmyQueen: Mel should have realized he was still on camera and on a mic. Not to say that the guy wasn’t one it is just that Mel should have used proper decorum to make his point. It is time to move on and he made his apologies if people want to continue having hang ups on it then it is...
witch hunter hunter: it’s obvious from this that Richards is nothing more than a far-left, bleeding heart, tree-hugging —-sucker on a witchhunt, with the white male Christian figure (Gibson) being hung up from the nearest oak tree. Richards deserved that comment — and worse.
danybhoy: KQ, I don’t care for Couric either. BTW, I’m assuming she is a socialist as well. But remember what I said about this…SOCIALISM IS FOR EVERYBODY, EXCEPT THE SOCIALIST. It’s for us slobs who mean nothing, you know, the little people. She’s important, &...
KimmyQueen: I can’t stand her. It does seem as if people are fired to make enough room for her salary that she doesn’t deserve. I bet she is all for socialism too which of course just shows how hypocritical she is.
IMO: CBS gets punked by the WHO at the SuperBowl halftime… Who Are you? and We Won’t Be Fooled Again..
KimmyQueen: LOL She looks better in that commercial than in some of the photos that I have seen and it makes me wonder if it was deliberate to put unflattering pics of her out there… As far as the commercial yes vague at best. People have to take THEIR time to find out the whole thing. The...
danybhoy: Actually, I have a cousin who does radio work in Los Angeles & has dealt with Allred more then a few times, he says she has never been a pain in the a$$ to deal with. Now I agree with her on very little politically, from what my cousin says, she’s not a horrible person. The...
sifi: Megyn Kelly like most Fox News anchors want fair and balanced discussions. I agree it gives the opposition attention but at least it is fair and balanced unlike some.
john: Libs and Conservatives. You are all arguing in the wrong box. Wake up an stop being a media led dumb ass. While your arguing about dumb crap. The one worlders are setting us up for a fall. Go beyond the trivial. Rockefeller and Zbignu Brizinski non patriot Globalist have been grooming Obama...
