NBC reporter calls Bush “monkey,” apologizes
I wonder if NBC reporter Erin Burnett will get some White House custom pens after apologizing to President Bush after calling him a “monkey” on the air. The comment, more than a mere slip of the lip, happened last week around the same time CNN aired its joke of a Republican debate in which so-called “undecided Republican voters” have been revealed to be nothing but a lot of Democratic operatives.
And yet, some idiotic MoveOn.org types want to seriously suggest that the media, by and large, has a conservative bias? Please; we have brains.
Also, according to a recent survey, Republicans report a higher rate of good mental health than do liberals or independents. Maybe that’s why, when our candidates do lose, we don’t need grief counseling. Instead, we learn from it and go on to battle another election.
All I know is, if Barack Obama were president, that “monkey” comment wouldn’t have been excused by a simple apology; she’d be on the permanently unemployed line!
On Iraq: Dems predict 68 votes, get 47
The party of defeat, the Democrats, made Amer– er, make that MoveOn.org, who they are more interested in pleasing than actual Americans — let’s start over.
The party of defeat, the Democrats, promised MoveOn.org 68 veto-proof votes on an attempt to end the war in Iraq by Congressional subversion of the President’s role as commander in chief, but when roll call was taken, according to Politico.com’s in-house blog, The Crypt, the actual tally came to 47 in favor, 47 opposed and six abstaining from making their opinion known in a run-up to an election year.
The Crypt offers this analysis:
The rejection of the Levin-Reed [withdrawal from Iraq] proposal means the only amendment passed by the Senate this week was a resounding 72-25 condemnation of the now infamous MoveOn.org ad that portrayed Gen. David Petraeus as “General Betray Us.” While Republicans have enjoyed a good ride ripping MoveOn and the anti-war movement for the past two weeks, Democrats have scaled back the expectation that many Republicans would join them and vote on binding measures to end the war.
Some moderates that have been targeted by Democrats as possible vote-switchers on the war seem to be turned off with the no-compromise attitude of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Keep in mind, these are the same Democrats predicting they will gain 60 House seats and sweep the Senate races in ’08 to create a veto-proof, filibuster-proof Congressional majority.
Yeah. Right. That’ll happen, too. Sounds like SOME political party needs to put their 11-percent-approval-rating-ignoring ego on a hoodia diet.
