Greta Van Susteren: Carl Cameron Regrets Palin Gossip Reports

November 10, 2008 |   |  2 Comments  |  Politics

Greta Van Susteren tells Bill O’Reilly that FOX News’ Carl Cameron regrets gleefully reporting anonymously sourced and largely debunked gossip about Sarah Palin’s intelligence and behavior.

Bill O’Reilly argues that reporting Sarah Palin’s bathrobe wearing habits and shoe preferences are not gossip and are acceptable topics for anonymously sourced hard journalism pieces.

O’Reilly intimates Van Susteren is not a journalist.

O’Reilly and Van Susteren proclaim mutual love for each other.

If you need more detail, audio from from Bill O’Reilly’s radio show is embedded in the video below.

Dear 52: Stuff It – From Your Old Pal 48

November 10, 2008 |   |  1 Comment  |  Politics

From the folks who thought it necessary to photograph themselves holding messages of apology to the world for the reelection of President Bush in 2004 comes a new effort aimed at bridging the gap between the 52% who voted for Obama and the 48% who voted against him: From 52 to 48 With Love.

Sorry, but no.  This time, I’m the one who is not ready to make nice.

My goal is not to make peace with socialism or liberalism, my goal is to defeat them.

Next Up: Barack Obama Day

November 10, 2008 |   |  National

Although he has done absolutely nothing besides buy an election for $600 billion, a group of Obama cultists in Kansas is already pushing for a national holiday to honor Barack Obama two months before inauguration day.

“Yes We Can” planning rallies will be at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. every Tuesday at the downtown McDonald’s restaurant, 1100 Kansas Ave., until Jan. 13. The goals are to secure a national holiday in Obama’s honor, to organize celebrations around his inauguration and to celebrate the 200th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln, who was born on Feb. 12 1809.

At 7:30 a.m. on Inauguration Day, Obama Cake will be served at the downtown McDonald’s, and a celebration is scheduled for 8 p.m. to midnight Jan. 20 at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center, 420 S.E. 6th.

I’m not sure what “Obama Cake” is, but I’m guessing it’s made with ACORNs and lacks substance.

I’ve always said that the best ideas are hatched in the booths of downtown McDonald’s restaurants.

Headline Of The Day: How Obama Can Win Over The Media

November 8, 2008 |   |  1 Comment  |  2008 Election

MarketWatch lets loose with the howler of the weekend; advice to Barack Obama on how he can win over the media and gain their support.

Believe it or not, it’s not meant to be ironic and doesn’t contain the phrases “keep breathing” or “just stand there” even once, although the desire that Obama “be a constant presence in our lives” is there.  As if there was some other option.

Today’s Togetherness Scorecard: California Gays Now Hate Black People

November 8, 2008 |   |  1 Comment  |  Politics

For those of you keeping track of the new post-racial harmonious world, scratch off the tick mark next to “Gays.” It seems, in California at least, they’ve chosen not to participate in the hopechangeharmony juggernaut because black people were key in the vote to prevent them from destroying the traditional definition of marriage.  And that, it would appear, targets them for destruction.
