Pot calls kettle fat: Rotund Ed Schultz calls New Jersey Governor Chris Christie a “fat slob”

Our theory is that low ratings have necessitated some cutbacks at MSNBC and one of the first things to be eliminated was the mirror in Ed Schultz’ dressing room.

Our theory is that low ratings have necessitated some cutbacks at MSNBC and one of the first things to be eliminated was the mirror in Ed Schultz’ dressing room. How else can you explain the Round Mound of Sound attacking New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for being fat?

As NewsBusters.org points out, this has been an ongoing theme in Schultz’ recent attacks on Christie, including such favorites as:

“This guy’s nothing but a big bully.”

“He’s throwing his weight around again.”

“Conservative talk-show hosts and heavy-handed politicians like Christie.”

And now the latest: “He’s a cold-hearted fat slob.”

Congratulations, Ed. Your razor sharp intellect is sure to win many converts to the progressive position. You’ve cemented your reputation as the thinking man’s liberal. You have officially become the left’s answer to William F. Buckley.

Hypocrisy at its finest: Democrats postpone campaign finance vote to attend fancy fundraiser

Harry Reid scheduled a Thursday vote on the DISCLOSE Act, which will require donors to reveal their donations to political campaigns. But…

Harry Reid scheduled a Thursday vote on the DISCLOSE Act, which will require donors to reveal their donations to political campaigns.

The vote could have been held on Wednesday except for one thing: Senate Democrats were all hobnobbing with the rich, famous and corrupt at a fundraiser for themselves in New York.

Politico.com reports that, “The event has prices raising up to $15,200, but a mere $2,500 contributed or raised buys you access to a ‘VIP reception with members of Congress.’ The money goes to the House Senate Victory Fund, which splits its receipts between the DSCC and the DCCC.”

“’An individual can contribute as much as $60,800 per calendar year to the House Senate Victory Fund,’ the invitation helpfully notes. (These donations will, it’s worth noting, be disclosed.)”

Hypocrisy, thy name is Harry.

This is one Associated Press story you won’t see reported on CNN

Small town radio stations, too poor to field their own reporters and writers, are famous for reading the news straight off the pages of their local newspaper. Now the Associated Press is accusing CNN of doing the same sort of thing on a much larger scale.

Breaking news has been replaced by stolen news at CNN

AP has the devious details:

CNN Worldwide President Jim Walton told staff in June that the network was dropping its contract with the Associated Press and would provide its audience with content that is “distinctive, compelling and, I am proud to say, our own.”

But the AP has been closely monitoring CNN’s coverage and claims that the network routinely uses the wire service’s reporting, according to internal memos obtained by The Upshot. CNN, the memo states, “continues to rely heavily, and apparently systematically, on AP breaking news, exclusive enterprise and in-depth reporting.”

… AP spokesman Paul Colford, while not commenting on the memos, summed up the news organization’s problem with the network’s coverage. “CNN continues to make extensive use of AP’s original reporting, even though they no longer pay us for it,” Colford said. “We are monitoring it very closely, and are considering our options.”

CNN. The most trusted name in news. Even if it’s someone else’s news.

Obama warns about return to disastrous past, ignores disastrous present

President Obama really ramped up the rhetoric during his weekly radio address by warning all of those listening – both of them – to beware of the Republicans’ recently released Pledge to America.

President Obama closes his eyes before his weekly radio address and tries to visualize himself as competent

It “…is grounded in (the) same worn out philosophy: cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires; cut the rules for Wall Street and the special interests; and cut the middle class loose to fend for itself,” Obama said, adding, “That’s not a prescription for a better future. It’s an echo of a disastrous decade we can’t afford to relive.”

Funny that he should speak of things we can’t afford since he’s spent twenty months – which certainly seems like a disastrous decade – ensuring that we can’t afford a damn thing.

“Republican proposals showed they were the ones not listening to voters’ desires,” the President continued. “And for all their talk about reining in spending and getting our deficits under control, they want to borrow another $700 billion, and use it to give tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires.”

The speech left us wondering how the President got from the $250,000 threshold he’s proposed for higher taxes to “millionaires and billionaires”? And while we’re wondering things, we also wondered how passing legislation that over 60% of American voters oppose could possibly constitute “listening to voter’s desires.”

Rick Sanchez dumbfounded to learn that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a bit extreme

In this clip, Rick reacts to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s U.N. speech in which he suggests that 9/11 may have been an inside job. He’s shocked when he finally realizes that the Iranian leader is a bit of a radical.

Laugh of the year: Levi Johnston claims he didn’t watch Dancing With the Stars because he was busy studying

Twenty-one million people may have watched Bristol Palin’s debut on Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday night, but Levi Johnston was not among them.

Twenty-one million people may have watched Bristol Palin’s debut on Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday night, but Levi Johnston was not among them.

The New York Post reports that he had more important things to do:

Reality star Levi Johnston did not join the 21 million viewers tuned in to watch the “Dancing with the Stars” season premiere that featured his ex-girlfriend Bristol Palin as a contestant, TMZ reported Wednesday.

Johnston — who is running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska in a race to be featured in an upcoming reality TV show “Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor’s Office” — was reportedly “too busy studying politics” to see Palin do the cha cha cha” to “Mama Told Me Not to Come” Tuesday night.

The father of Palin’s 21-month-old son Tripp is “learning about the major issues that affect Wasilla and reading lots of books,” which prevented him from watching the launch of the eleventh season of the hit TV show.

If true, the Dancing With the Stars premiere marked two notable firsts:

First time a vice presidential candidate’s daughter ever appeared on the show.

And first time Levi Johnston ever read a book.

(By the way, Levi, admiring photos of yourself naked in Playgirl doesn’t qualify as reading a book.)

Network TV news bids a fond farewell to another 739,000 disgruntled viewers

The final ratings are in for the 2008-2009 TV season and it’s ugly. Viewers are abandoning network TV news even faster than millionaires are moving out of Manhattan.

The final ratings are in for the 2008-2009 TV season and it’s ugly. Viewers are abandoning network TV news even faster than millionaires are moving out of Manhattan.

MediaBistro.com has the happy news:

katie couric finger
And American TV viewers said, "Right back at you, Katie."

The ratings are in the for just-completed 2009-2010 network evening news season. And when compared to 2008-2009 season, “NBC Nightly News” ABC’s “World News” and the “CBS Evening News” have lost a combined 739,000 Total Viewers and a combined 338,000 A25-54 viewers.

“Nightly News with Brian Williams,” which finishes at #1 for the 14th season in a row, lost the least: -138K Total Viewers (8.698M in 08-09 v. 8.560M in 09-10), while Katie Couric’s CBS program, lost the most: -343K (6.053M in 08-09 v 5.710M in 09-10). “World News” which saw Charles Gibson anchor the first few months of the season, and Diane Sawyer picking up in December, lost the most younger viewers: -221K (2.351M in 08-09 v. 2.130 in 09-10).

Remarkably, the 2008-2009 TV season included coverage of the 2008 presidential election and inauguration, which should have given viewership a boost.

So on broadcast TV, ABC News lost viewers. CBN News lost viewers. And NBC News lost viewers. On cable TV, MSNBC lost viewers. CNN lost viewers. And HLN lost viewers. Only Fox News gained viewers.

So here’s a serious question: Would all those left wing networks prefer losing every last viewer to providing balanced news coverage? Or will one of them finally see the light?

What do you think?

Damn the polls, full speed ahead: Pelosi says “momentum is with the Democrats”

Doing her very best Vince Lombardi impression, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insists that the polls are wrong, the American people aren’t pissed off, and that bullshit smells like roses.

Stretching the truth is nothing new for Nancy Pelosi.

Doing her very best Vince Lombardi impression, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insists that the polls are wrong, the American people aren’t pissed off, and that bullshit smells like roses.

Here’s a quick excerpt from her interview with NPR’s Robert Siegel:

Siegel: If your party does lose the House would you step aside as leader?

Pelosi: First of all, I don’t accept that premise in any way shape or form. The momentum is with us. We are out there to dispel many of the misrepresentations that have been going out there for nearly two years by the Republicans and the special interests, the oil industry, the health insurance industry, the banks and their allies.

We’re out there. Our members are great articulate spokespersons for their point of view into their districts. And district by district we feel very confident about the election.

And we believe that six weeks from today, six weeks from Wednesday of this week we will have no regrets but instead we will have a great Democratic victory.

At what point do interviewers begin saying, “Oh, come on, Nancy, get serious.”

For Harry’s sake, we hope this commercial fools more people than his comb-over does.

John Bolton goes off on Obama, says he’s not qualified to be President

John Bolton has never been accused of being a good politician. He’s too damn honest to deserve that insult.

His response to Bob Woodward’s new book, Obama’s Wars:

“If the book is accurate … it is some of the most cold-blooded, cynical, grotesquely political manipulation of national security that I think we’ve ever seen.”

“The notion that a President would say that in that kind of callous and just utterly robotic way, I think is yet further indication that Obama is simply not qualified to be Commander-in-Chief.”

“Obama is divorced from the American people, I think he is unemphatic, I think he is ‘show that’ and I think the American people have the wit to know what that means.”

They’re loud, they’re proud, they’re queer and they’re here. Well, actually, they’re in Manhattan, but nevertheless, Politico.com has their raucous reaction:

President Barack Obama was heckled multiple times during his speech at a Democratic fundraiser in one of the country’s most Democratic cities.
Demonstrators held signs that said “Broken Promises” and interrupted his speech to protest AIDS funding and the stalled repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” the policy banning gays from serving openly in the military that Obama has promised to lift.

Obama showed a flash of irritation after he was forced repeatedly off his prepared remarks. “We listened to you, we heard your point,” he told the “young lady” who continued shouting at him about AIDS funding. “This is not the time or the place to do what you’re talking about.”

A flash of irritation? No, he showed a flash of confusion. After all, he’s Barack Obama. How could people heckle him?

Joke of the Day: Jesus and the Democrat

We don’t often run jokes. But this one made us laugh out loud, so we thought we’d share:

A Republican entered a restaurant in a wheelchair one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. He looked across the restaurant and asked, “Is that Jesus sitting over there?”

man crutches
Another patron, a Democrat, came into the restaurant on crutches...

The waitress nodded “yes,” so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him.

The next patron to come in was a Libertarian with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, “Is that Jesus over there?”

The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to take Jesus a cup of hot tea. “My treat,” he said.

Another patron, a Democrat, came into the restaurant on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and asked for a cold beer. He, too, looked across the restaurant and asked, “Isn’t that God’s boy over there?”

The waitress nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus a cold beer. “On my bill,” he said.

As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, “For your kindness, you are healed.” The Republican felt the strength surge back into his legs, got up, and danced a jig out the door.

Jesus passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, “For your kindness, you are healed.” The Libertarian felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands, praised the Lord, and did a series of back flips out the door.

Then Jesus walked towards the Democrat, just smiling.

The horrified Democrat jumped to his feet and screamed, “Don’t touch me! I’m collecting disability!”

Man with “Impeach Obama” sign assaulted by security at Alaska State Fair

Sidney Hill decided to take his “Impeach Obama” sign to the Alaska State Fair where he was protesting loudly, but peacefully, when fair security people demanded that he leave the fairgrounds.

Welcome to opening day at the Alaska State Fair. Now shut the hell up.

Sidney Hill decided to take his “Impeach Obama” sign to the Alaska State Fair where he was protesting loudly, but peacefully, when fair security people demanded that he leave the fairgrounds.

Sidney Hill, as you might expect, felt this was a violation of his free speech rights and expressed his opinion. Again, loudly but peacefully.

After a few minutes the dispute escalated. Hill was eventually thrown to the ground and, some would say, assaulted. When the private security officers found out Hill was packing heat, they confiscated his weapon and held him until police arrived.

He was charged with Disorderly Conduct-Challenge To Fight, and Criminal Trespass 2- Upon Premises.

Jesse Jackson Jr. caught with his hand in the cookie jar and his you-know-what in the you-know-what

Jesse Jackson Jr. is following in his father’s footsteps. He’s corrupt both politically and morally.

NBC Chicago has the disreputable details:

If If you want to know Jesse Jackson Jr.'s position on urban affairs, just ask Giovana Huidobro

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. asked a political fund-raiser to offer then Gov. Rod Blagojevich $6 million dollars in exchange for an appointment to President Obama’s former Senate seat — and had the fund-raiser pay for two airline trips for a blonde “social acquaintance” — the fund-raiser told federal authorities.

Businessman Raghuveer Nayak… says Jackson instructed him to offer Blagojevich as much as $6 million for the seat — $1 million from the Indian community and $5 million from a yet-to-be-held fund raiser that Jackson Jr. would organize.

So much for the political corruption. Let’s get to the juicy stuff:

Jesse Jackson Jr. doesn’t deny involvement with a Washington D.C. based restaurant hostess who was named this morning in a Sun-Times story about his alleged attempt to buy an appointment to President Obama’s former Senate seat.

Jackson Jr. allegedly had a relationship with Giovana Huidobro, a restaurant hostess and former model whose pictures can be seen here, and asked that fund-raiser Raghuveer Nayak pay for her to be flown from D.C. to Chicago on at least two occasions.

“The reference to a social acquaintance is a personal and private matter between me and my wife that was handled some time ago.” Jackson Jr. said in a statement. “I ask that you respect our privacy.”

No word on whether Jesse Jr. got his girlfriend pregnant, but he’s young. He has lots of time to match is father’s accomplishments.

NAACP’s ‘One Nation’ rally sponsored by communist, pro-Islamist, anti-Israel groups

The NAACP’s October 2 One Nation rally in Washington, DC proves one thing – that the term moderate liberal is an oxymoron.

The NAACP’s October 2 One Nation rally in Washington, DC proves one thing – that the term moderate liberal is an oxymoron.

BigPeace.com has the disturbing details about the rally’s sponsors:

ed schultz
Pompous, parasitic, blowhard Ed Schultz. That just about sums it up.

The rally’s sponsor list demonstrates how the Democrat party’s liberal establishment has mainstreamed treason and antisemitism.

Included among large, traditional labor organizations sponsoring the rally: AFL-CIO; National Education Association; the union of federal government workers’ American Federation of Government Employees; United Auto Workers; and United Mine Workers.

Joining them are anti-American, anti-Israel groups: Stalinist ANSWER Coalition; and the terrorist supporting Obama funders Code Pink and United for Peace and Justice, which since its inception and until recently was led by noted communist Leslie Cagan. Listed on the sidebar as sponsors are anti-American groups Veterans for Peace and Iraq Veterans Against the War.

All have supported terrorists in Iraq who were killing American troops and liberated Iraqis.

Also listed as partners of the One Nation rally are the Communist Party USA; the Democratic Socialists of America; the International Socialist Organization; and the War Resisters League.

This is, of course, the rally that MSNBC’s parasitic blowhard Ed Schultz attempted to latch onto to show the world that he was just as popular as Glenn Beck.

He called it “Ed’s March,” but a more appropriate name might be “The Anti-American, Freedom Hating, Anti-Semitic Event that Exposes Ed Schultz and the NAACP For What The Really Are March.”

Home Depot co-founder thinks Tim Geithner should become a porn star

Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus said to put Timothy Geithner in a new reality show. It’s called ‘Timothy Geithner Does Small Business’, something like ‘Debbie Does Dallas’.

Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus is a funny guy. Last week he facetiously apologized to President Obama for creating 300,000 jobs. This week he came up with a creative way of explaining that Democrats are out of touch with the real world.

“My solution is that you take a guy like Timothy Geithner and put him in a new reality show. It’s called ‘Timothy Geithner Does Small Business’, something like ‘Debbie Does Dallas’, and it ends up the same way,” Marcus explained. ”Basically, what they’re doing to small business is very similar in this case [to what ‘Debbie’ did to Dallas.]”

The only difference, Bernie, is that porn stars get paid when they get screwed.

Obama incorrectly claims that “Mexicans were here long before America was even an idea”

Here’s the President’s latest Bidenism at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Annual Awards Event in Washington, DC.

We don’t mind admitting that we long for the good ol’ days when Joe Biden was this administration’s official moron. Unfortunately, that role is being usurped by the President.

Here’s the President’s latest Bidenism at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Annual Awards Event in Washington, DC.

“Long before America was even an idea,” President Obama said, “this land of plenty was home to many peoples. The British and French, the Dutch and Spanish, to Mexicans, to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land.”

One possibility is that President Obama didn’t know that Mexico declared its independence from Spain on September 16, 1810.

The other more disturbing possibility is that he didn’t know United States declared its independence from England in 1776.
