"What Isn’t His Fault?"

On Wednesday’s "Situation Room," liberal anchor Jack Cafferty argued that, perhaps, it's President Bush, not Vladimir Putin, who is attempting to reignite the Cold War. However, Cafferty might want to consider the fact that fewer pesky journalists seem to mysteriously disappear in the United States than they do in Russia.

A Left Wing GOP? That’s the Ticket to Success!

During this week’s Republican debate, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer had a suggestion for the national GOP: Be more like liberal Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now, this is an idea he’s peddled four times since the midterm elections. Isn’t it sweet when left-wing journalists offer advice to the Republican Party?

"You Just KNEW This Was Coming"

Speaking of liberal cable hosts, Keith Olbermann suggested this week that the unraveling of a terror plot at JFK airport was politically timed to help the Bush administration. Yes, Keith, and the Paris Hilton media soap opera is a cover by the White House to distract from the immigration debacle.

"I Love Fidel!"

Reporting on Cuba’s health care, reporter Andrea Mitchell highlighted an unnamed Cuban citizen who only had nice things to say for the brutal dictator: "I love him!"

"Celebrities Who Live in Glass Mansions..."

Finally, during an appearance on MSNBC’s "Hardball," actor Ben Affleck pronounced President Bush's White House to be one of the worst administrations in history. This from the man who made the movie "Gigli."

And finally-finally, sarcas

And finally-finally, sarcasmo once again busted blatant antilibertarian bias on the part of Chris Matthews, this time to the consternation of "rainlillie" instead of the conservatives, but she was equally-unable to admit the obvious...

It takes too much effort for Wolf to speak.  He pushes out every word like one would do to pinch out the last drop from a water bag.  Andrea baby is a drive- by would-be mobster's doll with nothing very active between those ears, covered by that heavily highlighted hair-do.  Olberman doesn't write his own material--he relies on the people living in their parents' basements for talking points.  Afflack plain old sucks as an actor and is worse as a pundit. 

Liberalism is a convenient lie.

The Wolf Blitzer types are de

The Wolf Blitzer types are described aptly and succinctly in the Book of Matthew ...

Matthew 23:24-28

(24) Ye blind guides, WHICH STRAIN AT A GNAT, and swallow a camel.

(25) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but WITHIN THEY ARE FULL OF EXTORTION AND EXCESS.

(26) Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

(27) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

(28) Even so YE ALSO OUTWARDLY APPEAR RIGHTEOUS UNTO MEN, BUT WITHIN YE ARE FULL OF HYPOCRISY AND INIQUITY.

I've never read a more pinpoint or more eloquent description of liberals, Democrats, and the MSM ... Chapter 25 is a veritable expose` of the Al Gore's, Michael Moore's, and Heidi Cullen's of the world.

Matthew 23:4-7 and 13-15

(4) For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

(5) But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

(6) And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

(7) And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, "Rabbi, Rabbi" [Master, Master ... or in 21st century English - Doctor, Doctor ... or Senator, Senator].

(13) But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

(14) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

(15) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
