News 2 – Page 58 – I HATE THE MEDIA ™

To paraphrase the immortal words of Jeff Spicoli, “You johnson!”

Peter Johnson appeared on Hannity to debate Ann Coulter on airport security and played the role of the typical liberal – rude, condescending and filibustering.

Liberal women hate conservative women because, well, because liberal women typically look like liberal women.

And liberal men hate conservative women because they could never get a date with them in high school. Or college. Or life in general.

Take Peter Johnson, for example. He appeared on Hannity on Wednesday to debate Ann Coulter on airport security and played the role of the typical liberal – rude, condescending and filibustering. For his part, Hannity played the enabler, allowing Johnson to control the segment, running roughshod over Coulter every time she tried to make her point.

Words are unnecessary – it’s evident in his smug smirk – but if there were words they would be, “You think you’re pretty? Take that, mean girl!”

At the 4:30 mark Johnson asks Coulter a question, then spends the next two minutes cutting her off and laughing about his rudeness like the typical effeminate little liberal weasel that he is.

As this clip makes clear, Johnson is a johnson. A tiny, flaccid johnson.

Follow the money. All the way through Africa and into some U.N. executives’ pockets.

How much clearer could it be? Global warming isn’t about saving the planet, it’s about redistributing the wealth. But the real question is who does it get redistributed to and who gets to do the redistribution?

The Global Warming Policy Foundation dug up an interview in Neue Zürcher Zeitung with German economist and IPCC official Dr. Ottmar Edenhofer.

As they said back at IPCC headquarters, “Ach, du Scheiße! Can’t Edenhofer keep his big mouth shut?”

The climate summit in Cancun at the end of the month is not a climate conference, but one of the largest economic conferences since the Second World War … one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy.

If global emission rights are distributed … then Africa will be the big winner, and huge amounts of money will flow there. This will have enormous implications for development policy. And it will raise the question if these countries can deal responsibly with so much money at all.

So the way we understand this, the rich countries must give up their wealth, yet the poor countries are incapable of dealing with the influx of all that wealth.

Oh, life on planet Earth would be perfect if only there were some international organization that could be in charge of it all.

And if only there were a few munificent executives within that organization who were willing to take on that assignment for the honor of skimming a little off the top.

Gays in the military: Barbara Boxer compares United States to Iran, North Korea and Pakistan

Oh, how proud California’s voters must be. Barbara Boxer, their recently-reelected United States senator, actually compared the United States to Iran, North Korea and Pakistan because none of those nations allow gays in their military.

north korean army — Who's kidding who? If there are no gays in the North Korean army, why do they look so much like the Rockettes?

CNS News has the details:

Boxer likened the U.S.A. to the Communist regime in North Korea, the Islamic regime in Iran and the Pakistani government at a press conference in which she called for repealing the ban on homosexuals in the military during the lameduck session of Congress, which is taking place now before the new members elected on Nov. 2 can arrive in Washington, D.C. and replace the members who are retiring or who were defeated.

“We now stand with this rule with countries like Iran, North Korea and Pakistan in banning gays and lesbians from military service,” said Boxer. “Our brave young men and women fight alongside allies like Australia, the United Kingdom and others who allow gays and lesbians to serve openly. Let’s not stand with Pakistan and with North Korea and Iran.”

Barbara, honey, you seem to forget that being gay is a crime punishable by death in Iran and Pakistan. And just being a citizen of North Korea seems to be a crime punishable by death.

We have a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. They have a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Breathe” policy.

Turkey for everyone: Barbara Walters to interview Obama during Thanksgiving holiday

Just in case you were worried that you couldn’t get through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend without Barack Obama, your prayers have been answered.

Just in case you were worried that you couldn’t get through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend without a little Barack Obama, your prayers have been answered.

barbara-walters-barack-obama-michelle — Nooooooooo! They're coming into your living room again!

ABC News has the story:

President and Mrs. Obama will sit together for a Thanksgiving visit in a joint one-hour special with Barbara Walters airing on Friday, Nov. 26th, the day after the holiday, at 10 p.m. ET.

In addition to focusing on some of the major challenges facing the President today, part of the conversation will be a discussion of how the whole family reacted to the President’s political reversal. This interview will be Mrs. Obama’s first since the mid-term elections.

The special marks the second time the President and First Lady have sat for a joint interview with Ms. Walters; the first was November of 2008, immediately following the presidential election. The interview will be conducted in the White House on Tuesday, November 23rd.

Our heartiest congratulations to President Obama. It looks like he’s finally found a way to stimulate the economy. If seeing him being interviewed on TV yet again isn’t enough to drive people out of the house and into the stores on Black Friday, nothing will.

Seriously, Barbara, what could you possibly ask this guy that hasn’t been asked and answered in a thousand other TV interviews?

We’d suggest you go with the “If you were a tree what kind of tree would you be?” question.

Let’s put an end to all those “Bloomberg to join Obama administration” rumors

Rumors have been flying around Washington, DC about New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s interest in joining the Obama administration. And vice versa.

obama-bloomberg-golf — Obama has been looking for an official administration midget ever since Rahm Emanuel left the White House

“RINO Bloomberg to become Secretary of the Treasury” is the one most often heard. And former Senator Bob Kerrey even floated the idea that Obama should be the “idea guy” and Bloomberg should be, in effect, the nation’s COO.

Well, this ABC News report should put an end to those stories:

… during President Obama’s vacation at Martha’s Vineyard, on August 27 he took in a round of golf at the Vineyard Golf Club in Edgartown, playing golf with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg; Democratic lawyer, business man and éminence grise Vernon Jordan; and White House trip director (and former golf pro) Marvin Nicholson.

The pool report at the time said that “We are told Bloomberg and Obama talked in the clubhouse for about 15 mins about the economy. They then went to the driving range.”

Apparently – at least from a second-hand report – the Obama-Bloomberg convo could have gone better.

In an interview with The Australian Financial Review, conservative media magnate Rupert Murdoch says ”Bloomberg said it was a pleasant day. In conversation he put a few ideas … He said it was like verbal ping pong.”
Bloomberg, according to Murdoch, “came back and said ‘I never met in my life such an arrogant man’.”

A spokesman for Bloomberg did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Of course, the left will say the evil Rupert Murdoch made up the quote to damage Obama. The right will say every word of it is true. And Bloomberg will say whatever will advance his political career.

And we say Bloomberg and Obama deserve each other.

Ron Paul: If enhanced pat downs are good enough for the American people, they’re good enough for Congress

Ron Paul has had his best idea ever – the American Traveler Dignity Act: get rid of X-ray screenings and enhanced pat downs for airline travelers by forcing congress to experience the same sort of humiliation when they travel.

Ron Paul has had his best idea ever – the American Traveler Dignity Act.

His simple theory is that the best way to get rid of X-ray screenings and enhanced pat downs for airline travelers is to force congress to experience the same sort of humiliation when they travel.

We like the concept, but let’s get serious. Paul’s bill will get passed about the same time Congress starts using the same medical and retirement plans they force on the rest of us.

Back up the moving truck: Low-tax states to gain seats, high-tax states to lose them

We’re not going to get crazy like James Carville and predict 40 years of Republican rule, but let’s just say that the trend is not the liberal’s friend.

beverly-hillbillies — It's like the Beverly Hillbillies in reverse

The Washington Examiner details the relationship between democracy and demography:

Migration from high-tax states to states with lower taxes and less government spending will dramatically alter the composition of future Congresses, according to a study by Americans for Tax Reform

Eight states are projected to gain at least one congressional seat under reapportionment following the 2010 Census: Texas (four seats), Florida (two seats), Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Utah and Washington (one seat each). Their average top state personal income tax rate: 2.8 percent.

By contrast, New York and Ohio are likely to lose two seats each, while Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania will be down one apiece. The average top state personal income tax rate in these loser states: 6.05 percent.

The state and local tax burden is nearly a third lower in states with growing populations, ATR found. As a result, per capita government spending is also lower: $4,008 for states gaining congressional seats, $5,117 for states losing them.

And that’s the problem. Per capita spending goes crazy when politicians lose there capitas.

Blame duck congress: It’s all the Republicans fault that Nancy Pelosi is so unpopular

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed Republican-funded attacks for her low approval ratings Wednesday, moments after Democrats re-elected her to head the party as minority leader in next year’s Congress.

It’s not just the lame duck Congress, it’s the blame duck Congress. Princess Pelosi blames the Republicans for the fact that she’s the most hated person in Washington.

TheDailyCaller.com has the former Speaker’s laughable lament:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed Republican-funded attacks for her low approval ratings Wednesday, moments after Democrats re-elected her to head the party as minority leader in next year’s Congress.

“How would your ratings be if $75 million were spent against you?” Pelosi said, after being asked about her low approval ratings.

An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll taken at the end of October found that only eight percent of independents have a favorable view of Pelosi and just 24 percent of the general population approves of her job as Speaker. In the waning days of the 111th Congress, 73 percent disprove Congress as a whole, according to the Real Clear Politics poll average.

When asked why she decided to run for another term in party leadership despite the low ratings, she replied, “Because I’m an effective leader. Because we got the job done on health care and Wall Street reform and consumer protections. The list goes on. Because they know that I’m the person that can attract the resources both intellectual and otherwise to take us to victory because I have done it before.”

To paraphrase the immortal words of Shirley Ellis:

“Nancy! Nancy, Nancy bo Bancy Bonana fanna fo Fancy Fee fy mo Mancy, Nancy!
The blame game!”

That sound you hear is NPR quaking in its boots: GOP to force vote to defund

House Republicans announced Wednesday they plan to force a floor vote on defunding NPR in response to the firing of analyst Juan Williams last month.

NPR claims tax dollars provide a mere 1% of its budget despite other analyses that say it might be as much as 25%.

You’ll soon be able to judge which number is closer to the truth based on the volume of the squeals emanating from Congress. The louder the squeals, the higher the percentage.

npr-crosshairs — It's about time: Republicans are taking aim at the "P" in NRP

TheHill.com has the news that has NPR quivering with fear:

House Republicans announced Wednesday they plan to force a floor vote on defunding NPR in response to the firing of analyst Juan Williams last month.

House GOP Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) and Rep. Doug Lamborn (Colo.) said that cutting funds to the publicly subsidized news organization was the winner of the conference’s weekly “YouCut” contest, in which the public votes online on spending items they want eliminated.

“When NPR executives made the decision to unfairly terminate Juan Williams and to then disparage him afterwards, the bias of their organization was exposed,” the two Republicans said in a statement. “Make no mistake, it is not the role of government to tell news organizations how to operate. What is avoidable, however, is providing taxpayer funds to news organizations that promote a partisan point of view. Eliminating taxpayer funding for NPR is precisely the kind of commonsense cut that we have to begin making if we want to fundamentally alter the way business is conducted in Washington.”

Oh, wait. There’s another sound. If we’re not mistaken, this one is Juan Williams laughing his ass off.

Why do Democrats want Pelosi as minority leader? Because American needs jobs, damn it!

“Gaining 7,000,000 jobs begins with letting Nancy Pelosi keep hers.” No. Really. That’s what obtuse Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn) told Greta Van Susteren.

The Confucians say, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Latest Newsweek cover: Obama is the god of all things

On the cover of the latest issue of Newsweek editor Evan Thomas, who once said that Obama is “sort of God,” decided to now call Obama the “God of all Things.”

Back in June of 2009, Newsweek editor Evan Thomas was derided by conservatives for his pronouncement that Obama is “sort of God.”

Now, thanks to the latest issue of Newsweek, we’ve learned what sort of God he meant — Shiva the Destroyer, the multi-armed supreme god of the Hindus.

As Wikipedia explains Shiva to we non-Hindus, “Adi Sankara … interprets Shiva to have multiple meanings: ‘The Pure One,’ or ‘the One who is not affected by three Gunas of Prakrti (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas)’ or ‘the One who purifies everyone by the very utterance of His name.'”

Got that? The Pure One … The One who purifies everyone by the very utterance of His name …The One who is eternally pure …

He is The One and we are the ones we have been waiting for. All hail the merciful Barack Obama, The One and now the one true God of all things.

By the way, we’ve never seen this mentioned anywhere before, but in researching this story we came across the fact that Evan Thomas is the grandson of Norman Thomas, six time Socialist Party candidate for President of the United States.

No wonder this guy worships Obama.

Liberal Tweetosphere goes insane over Bristol Palin’s success on Dancing With The Stars #dwts

Bristol’s unexpected success has driven the leftwing Tweetosphere absolutely insane. Bug-eyed, frothing at the mouth, shaking with anger. Read these insane tweets.

Bristol Palin surprised everyone Tuesday night when viewers of the popular Dancing With The Stars TV show voted her into this year’s finals. She’s really not one of the best dancers on the show, but who cares? DWTS is as much a popularity contest as it is a dancing contest.

Bristol’s unexpected success has driven the leftwing Tweetosphere absolutely insane. Bug-eyed, frothing at the mouth, shaking with anger.

They say she’s fat. It’s fixed. I’m pissed. She’s Sarah Palin’s daughter. She can’t dance. Teabaggers cheat. And so on and so on and so on.

Thousands of lunatic lefties felt compelled to share their sickness on Twitter. Here are some of our favorites:

And if any of my white co-workers bring up DWTS this morning, I’m throwing this whole pot of coffee on they ass…try me

Bristol Palin is to Dancing With The Stars as Sanjaya is to American Idol.

The TParty are attracted to Bovine footwork and weak resumes.

these republicans are taking over! They vote Brandy off of DWTS and kept Bristol Palin! Crazy!

DWTS is not about being relateable, its about CELEBRITIES dancing, not fucking retards like Bristol “dancing”

Anyone notice that BP’bristol palin’ is also the initials of the company responsible for the oil spill in the gulf? Coincidence?

be glad ur teabaggers ensure that your self-esteem-enhanced but talent deprived daughter doesn’t learn the truth

If you really want to stop the teaparty/Bristol Palin DWTS farce then fight fire with fire. Do what they do; cheat.

bristol palin gets $10k for every week on DWTS. she’s a teen mom w/o an education. i don’t care if she’s not good or if it’s rigged.

If Bristol palin wins DWTS then I believe the country will go bonkers

I heard bristol palin is in the finals of DWTS. If she wins then america is doomed because that means sarah palin is going to run for pres

I’m so tempted to go “OMG! Did you know that Diebold is counting DWTS votes?

I rarely watch DWTS. But now I’m irked. It’s only a stupid dance show right? Wrong. It’s cheating. It’s racism, it’s HS popularity BS.

DWTS is just an elaborate ploy to lure Bristol under the bucket of pig’s blood.

Ok. I just heard Bristol Palin might win DWTS. WTF?!? She got worse each week. Obviously Sarah Palin paid someone off!Exit polls of DWTS voters indicate 25% are Dems, 30% independent, and remainder are w Bristol wing of #Teabag Party.

Who the do the Palin’s think they are??!! 1st they rigg DWTS voting…now the Presidency?? Enough!!

LMFAO!!!! omg!!!! man if she win DWTS America finna go HAM & I’m moving 2 mars in fear of my life…

It’s not going to sink in for people how big this horrible injustice is until next week when Bristol is crowned the champion of DWTS!

I’m pretty sure Bristol Palin is the first person to never get in shape in DWTS history. She looks like a log with sparkles.

I have one thing to say about those DWTS fans. I hope you’ve got the wide screen to better present the wider Bristol.

Bristol Palin making the finals of DWTS is precisely why the Founding Fathers didnt want direct voting to elect the leaders of the country

wow my mom is cussing out Bristol Palin in Vietnamese, she’s devastated that Brandy went home!! She takes DWTS very seriously

If that substandard Bristol wins DWTS….. I’m DONE with #ABC! Teabaggers are already on the list of vile, stupid creatures.

DWTS put lipstick on a pig, now they’re trying to teach it to dance.

Why Is Stiff Ass Rythmless Bristol in The Finals Should Be Ashamed #SlapYourself!!!!!!!!!

The show should be called:Dancing with the talentless teenage unwed mom whose merit is to be the daughter of the dumbest US politician

I feel the only reason Bristol Palin is still on DWTS is because her mom is backstage w- her Bible…and her gun.

But this conservative Tweet is our absolute favorite:

Bristol made it into finals of DWTS along with Jen Grey, Kyle Massey and Lisa Murkowski who is launching a write-in campaign.

Michelle Obama named to Vogue’s best dressed list. No, seriously.

The people at Vogue are still drinking the Kool-Aid. In fact, they’re swilling it. Need proof? How about the fact that they just named Michelle Obama to their Best Dressed of 2010 list.

They introduced the list with this gag-inducing, overwritten, under thought out prose:

Whether it’s sleek chic or cyberfantasy, silver-screen Hollywood glamour or Holly Woodlawn camp, whether it’s East End edge or East Egg flapper dazzle, from head (artful marcel waves, tumbled-out-of-bed tousle, or candy-floss high-rise) to toe (ballet slippers with dirndls or platforms with ball gowns), the ten individualists whom Vogue celebrates as the Best Dressed of 2010 are gamely rewriting the rules. Or rather, showing us all that there are no rules beyond staying true to oneself.

Let’s get serious, Vogue.

We were expecting another story like this to come along sooner or later, so we’ve been collecting recent photos that more accurately reflect Michelle Obama’s sense of fashion when she’s truly “staying true to herself.”

Jackie Kennedy she ain’t. In the above photo, Michelle stays true to herself by digging for gold in front of the Indonesian Prime Minister.

Heretic in the House: Global warming skeptic may take over Science Committee

The likely next chairman of the House Science Committee says “reasonable people have serious questions” about global warming vowed to investigate Obama’s climate policies.

How cool is this? Looks like a heretic is about to enter the Church of the Holy Global Warming.

ralph-hall-global-warming-skeptic — Don't expect Ralph Hall (R-TX) to be invited to Al Gore's next dinner party

Politico.com has the red hot news:

The likely next chairman of the House Science Committee says “reasonable people have serious questions” about the science connecting manmade greenhouse gas emissions to global warming.

Rep. Ralph Hall (R-Texas) on Wednesday vowed to investigate the Obama administration’s climate policies if he becomes chairman.

“This administration argues that cutting greenhouse emissions as a policy directive is justified by science,” Hall said at a hearing organized by Democrats and billed as a “rational discussion” on climate science before the GOP takes over. “I think this hearing today will demonstrate and should demonstrate that reasonable people have serious questions about our knowledge of the state of the science,” he added.

As a result, Al Gore, the religion’s prophet, may just find himself separated from some of the religion’s profit. And that, friends, is what’s known as blasphemy.

Idiot Alert: Sheila Jackson-Lee cries racism because Rush Limbaugh calls MSNBC host “Sergeant Schultz”

Stunning stupidity. Incredible ignorance. And a remarkable willingness to call damn near anything racism.

Texas Democrat Sheila Jackson-Lee ably demonstrated all three on poor Ed Schultz’ MSNBC program.

sergeant-schultz — Please allow us to introduce Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee to Sergeant Schultz. Since you both know nothing, you should get along just fine.

Special Ed was on one of his nightly rants about the unfairness of Rush Limbaugh’s success and how it can only be attributed to raaaaacism when he asked Jackson-Lee this question:

“Congresswoman, is there anything the African community can do about this? The comments speak for themselves.”

“I’m always committed to the First Amendment because as you well know,” Jackson-Lee responded. “You’ve been called Sergeant Schultz. I don’t know that to be your name. I’m a little sensitive to what that is to garner. Is that because you have a name that may be ethnically connected to being a Sergeant? I’m not sure what that is. I find that insulting as well.”

Would it be racist to point out that Sergeant Schultz was a character – a white German character – on the 1960s TV show Hogan’s Heroes?

Would it be racist to point out that Sergeant Schultz’ most famous line was “I know nothing” and that even if that is true, he’s a genius compared to Jackson-Lee?

Would it be racist to point out that it’s pronounced Lim-bah, not Lim-bow.

Seriously, Congresswoman, you should at least be able to pronounce the name of the guy you want to boycott.

Obama: “Is it intermission yet? When’s intermission? I need a cigarette. I mean I really need a cigarette.”

Check the quick shot of the President toward the end of this clip. He’s working that Nicorette gum like it’s trying to get away.

“Hey, I thought you said we were coming to see Kabuki. What’s with the music and the costumes? When do the fat guys strip down to their thongs and start wrestling? I’m the President, damn it, and I want to see the fat guys wrestle. Man, if this is going to last much longer, I’m really going to need a smoke.”

Fox News reports what the President was doing when he looked so in need of a ciggie:

It wasn’t quite a Kennedy Center Honors Award show, but the entertainment in Yokohama, Japan Saturday evening made President Obama smile as Japanese performers of traditional Kabuki theater put on a show for world leaders in town for the APEC summit.

Kabuki is highly stylized Japanese singing and dancing which has been a tradition since the 17th century.

“You know what Obama’s problem is? He’s bored because he’s just too damn talented to do what other people do.”

Valerie Jarrett is the most dangerous woman in America. We think you’ll agree when you read about the public fellatio she willingly performs on Barack Obama in a new bio on our manboy president.

We just reached an important conclusion. It’s not like we spent a lot of time thinking about it. No, it just came to us in a sudden flash of insight when we read the quote below. Nevertheless, we’re pretty damn sure this conclusion is correct:

jarrett-obama — "The people love you, Mr. President," said the most dangerous woman in America, "because you're so much smarter than they are."

Valerie Jarrett is the most dangerous woman in America.

We think you’ll agree when you read about the public fellatio she willingly performs on Barack Obama in a new bio on our manboy president:

In his biography of Obama, “The Bridge,” David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, quotes White House senior adviser and longtime Obama friend Valerie Jarrett: “I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. … He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. … So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. … He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.”

Like we said, Valerie Jarrett is the most dangerous woman in America. The Emperor has no clothes and she’s telling him how nice his suit looks.

Is it any wonder the guy’s out of touch with the American people?

“Sources tell me Obama is unhinged … He’s losing it … He can’t stand Biden.”

The feeling among some people in the White House is that this president is unhinged, that he’s detacted, that he’s losing it, he’s obsessed with critics, very specifically obsessed with Fox news, he can’t stand Biden…

We’re not big Sean Hannity fans. Don’t get us wrong – we don’t dislike him. He seems like a nice guy. He’s not as witty as Rush Limbaugh. Not as compelling as Michael Savage. Not as interesting as Glenn Beck.

That being said, he is connected. He does seem to have sources the other guys don’t have. Like for this little gem.

Hannity: “There are some Democrats that cue me into things. The feeling among some people in the White House is that this president is unhinged, that he’s detacted, that he’s losing it, he’s obsessed with critics, very specifically obsessed with Fox news, he can’t stand Biden, he hates the Clintons, the Clintons hate him. Infighting apparently, and finger pointing is at an all-time high, if the President is brought bad news on the economy he has a meltdown everytime he hears it. And this is what people-and I’m telling you-my sources are reliable are telling me.”

Would any of it surprise you?

Put it on pay TV and wipe out the national debt: Westboro Baptist Church to picket Dearborn mosque

It’s on. Today. The biggest potential pay TV bonanza since The Rumble In The Jungle. The lunatic so-called Christians from the Westboro Baptist Church vs. the lunatic so-called Muslims from Dearborn’s Islamic Center of America.

BareNakedIslam has the details:

Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, MI
November 18, 2010 8:00 AM – 8:30 AM 

Fred Phelps and the WBC will picket the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, MI, the largest mosque in North America, to remind the idolatrous, doomed Muslims that Mohammed was a pedophile and a false prophet. Like most other false religious systems of modern doomed america, Islam teaches rebellion against the Lord Jesus Christ. Muslims claim Christ was merely a prophet and that He did not die and live again. They claim His blood is not sufficient or even necessary for salvation. They shall learn the truth when Christ himself returns!

C’mon, HBO. There’s still time to get Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant and Harold Lederman to Dearborn in time to call the action.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall: Media Matters wins charity lunch with Rupert Murdoch

Media Matters for America won an online auction Thursday to have a “friendly lunch” with its long-time nemesis, News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch.

It’s like Superman breaking bread with Lex Luthor. Or Batman dining with the Penguin. Or Barbara Boxer supping with anyone rational.

The Huffington Post has the dining details:

In one of the more clever moments of issue advocacy in recent memory, the progressive media watchdog group, Media Matters for America, successfully won an online auction Thursday to have a “friendly lunch” with its long-time nemesis, News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch.

The item, which was listed on the site Charity Buzz, was billed as a chance to “propose your business ideas” with the media mogul. The winning bid, according to a Media Matters representative, went for $86,000 — the proceeds of which will be sent to The Global Poverty Project. The estimated value of the lunch is $15,000.

When the lunch will take place is not yet determined. But it will involve the watchdog group’s founder and president, David Brock, along with five additional guests, dining with Murdoch.

“I look forward to this opportunity to have a friendly lunch with Rupert Murdoch, along with five of my invited guests,” said Brock, in a statement provided by Media Matters after the bid was finalized. “I will soon contact Mr. Murdoch’s office to determine a mutually convenient time and place in New York.”

Freud and schadenfreude: Departing Democrats cry in the House, Republicans party

The headline we wanted – really wanted – on this story was, “Don’t cry for me, Art and Dina.” The story has a weeping Democrat named Dina, but, unfortunately, we couldn’t find one named Art. Damn it. We were so near and yet so far.

dina-titus — Dina Titus, typical liberal woman (if you know what we mean)

The Hill has the details of the Democrats trail of tears:

House members returned to the nation’s capital for the first time since Republicans captured the House two weeks ago.

Freshman Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D-Ill.), who lost her reelection bid, wiped away tears as she hugged fellow members of the class of 2008, many of whom lost on Nov. 2.

Less than three feet away, ousted Nevada freshman Rep. Dina Titus (D) appeared to brush away some tears in a less obvious manner.

The mood was much different on the other side of the aisle.

Joyful House GOP lawmakers, who will take control of the House in January with at least 85 new members, made no effort to conceal their elation.

Republicans slapped backs, shook hands and laughed with each other, while their dejected Democratic colleagues huddled in clusters consoling themselves.

C’mon, Democrats, buck up. It’s the lame duck session and you still have time to pass a billion dollar bill authorizing grief counselors for all outgoing politicians and a trillion dollar takeover of Kleenex.

Keith Olbermann: Jack Webb? No. Jack-off? Definitely.

We want to point out the empty rhetoric of Keith Olbermann’s Wednesday night attack on Glenn Beck and his 3-part expose of George Soros.

IHateTheMedia.com is a form of civic duty and we’re proud to be able to do our part for the cause. But you know what sucks about it? What really sucks about it? We have to view MSNBC clips.

For example, today we want to point out the empty rhetoric of Keith Olbermann’s Wednesday night attack on Glenn Beck. But in order to provide the correct clip we have to watch the show again, and even worse, and to make sure we get the quotes correct we have to watch it over and over again and listen very closely to make sure we get the transcript correct. And as anyone with a functioning medulla oblongata knows, watching Olbermann even once is painful enough. Watching over and over again is a form of self-imposed cruel and unusual punishment.

But we digress.

In his attack on the three part series Beck is doing on George Soros, Olbermann mocks Beck for making his point with puppets and dismisses the Fox host as paranoid and psychotic.

What he does not do is challenge Beck on a single fact – typical of most left wing attacks on Beck.

Soros, according to Beck, has messianic delusions, despises the United States and provides the funding for dozens of progressive organizations – Media Matters, MoveOn.org, ACORN, Tides Foundation, etc. Many people feel Soros is the man behind the Obama administration itself. The exact amount of money he has funneled to Obama cannot be determined due to the lack of transparency in the collection of foreign campaign contributions during the 2008 presidential election. He supports abortion, atheism, open borders, gun control, legalized drugs, and euthanasia.

Rather than respond to the facts Beck presented, Olbermann lamely reverted to a failed attempt at comedic schtick as a diversion from the real issues.

One can only imagine that Sgt. Joe Friday, with his preoccupation with “Just the facts” would be deemed “unemployable” by the Human Resources department at MSNBC.

Here we go again: Obama says the START treaty remains his “top priority”

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev can rest assured that B. Hussein Obama is working as hard for the Russian people as he’s working for the American people.

obama-finger — The President assures the Russians that passing the START Treaty is his number one priority

Remarkably, the Associated Press reports on the President’s unprecedented commitment without the slightest hint of a smirk:

President Barack Obama, capping a far-flung Asian trip of mixed results, assured Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Sunday that getting the Senate to ratify the START nuclear weapons treaty is a “top priority” of his administration.

“I reiterated my commitment to getting the START treaty done during the lame-duck session,” Obama said, noting that Congress returns next week for its postelection session.

In two short years, Obama has developed a long list of top priorities. A very long list, indeed.

As IHateTheMedia.com pointed out back on August 16, 2010, the President has said at various times that almost everything is his top priority, including economic recovery, job creation, free trade agreements, energy security, education reform, student loan reform, exports by small businesses, health assistance to 9/11 first responders, ending homelessness among veterans, hurricane preparedness, H1N1 flu vaccinations, support for military families, strengthening ties with Canada and Mexico, consumer protection and environmental protection.

There may have been other top priorities between August and Sunday, but if so, we glazed over and missed them.

Rest assured that apologizing for this inexcusable oversight is our top priority.
