That Rumble You Heard Was O’Reilly Turning Over In His Grave: How The Far Right Elected Al Franken
“I don’t know if we’ve ever had an opponent who is so disliked by Republicans as Al Franken,” said Minnesota Republican Party Chair Ron Carey. “It’s one thing to lose to an honorable opponent, but Al Franken is not considered an honorable opponent by Minnesota Republicans.”
If Mr. Carey and the rest of the Republicans would like to see how they’ve come to realize their - as well as Bill O’Reilly’s worst nightmare - they need only look in the mirror.
When I sat down in 2002 to speak with Franken about how seemingly adversarial conditions played a positive part in his life for my book, “Great Failures of the Extremely Successful,” he had no idea that some of his greatest adversaries would help him to become a member of one of America’s most exclusive clubs…the U.S. Senate.
Back then I brought up the possibility of Franken going in to talk radio, but he Read more
Last Unscathed Republican Politician To Be Placed Under Protected Custody
Patrick Noony (Last Remaining Virtuous Republican)
Saying that they “weren’t taking any chances,” Republican National Committee chairman, Michael Steele requested the Federal Bureau of Investigation to place Patrick Noony, a Bakersfeild, CA supervisor, in the witness protection program at an undisclosed location until late 2012.
“The scandals are killing us,” admitted Steele. “Sex, drugs, promiscuity or just plain foot in mouth disease. You’d think we’re Democrats. We’ve got to do everything possible to make sure we have someone who can run without dropping drawers and sticking his foot in his mouth. Then again, if we could get a guy who could actually get his foot into his mouth he wouldn’t be getting into real trouble.”
Republicans and conservatives like Mark Sanford, John Read more
Hypocrisy Getting A Bad Rap
Hypocrisy: The act of pretending that one has beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities or standards that they do not actually have; this is usually done in order to mask their actual motives or feelings; falseness.
Mark Sanford, John Ensign, Elliot Spitzer, Rush Limbaugh, et al. Spouting one view, living another. Telling you how you should act, while all the time acting out the role they so publicly despised. And for that the blame is affixed to their hypocrisy.
I have a real problem with Mark Sanford outsourcing his desires to another country when hardworking American women of easy virtue, especially in this economy, are out of work. That, along with his public pronouncements of morality and calls for President Clinton to resign when he Read more
“Hangover” Sequel In The Works: “Overdose” Expected Out In Time For Christmas
With already hundreds of millions in the bank, producers are putting finishing touches on the followup of the surprise hit film based on a wild night of drinking and drugging bachelor party in Las Vegas.
The four-letter crammed Hangover is crowded with a cornucopia of near death consequences from a single, drug-induced evening that results in hysterical mayhem including severe sunburn poisoning, brutal nausea, drug overdose, infant abandonment, racist performances, police-generated child-tasering and brutal elderly rear nudity. In the end, no one really gets hurt and everyone is better off for the experience.
“Admit it, American audiences can’t get enough of humorously risky lifestyles,” said producer/director Todd Phillips. “Especially teens who are searching for role-models like Alan (ZACH Read more
Why O’Reilly Was Wrong and Bernie Was Right About Me…And Both Were Wrong About The Philadelphia Inquirer
A far-left hatchetman, named (Steve) Young.” Bill O’Reilly
“Real journalists, unlike Steve Young…” Bernie Goldberg
You don’t need to read the entire quotes. You can watch it above. Suffice it to say Bill and Bernie felt my column in Tuesday’s Philadelphia Inquirer was a bit…unbalanced. Unlike what Bill says Fox News is.
Let me put this in perspective. I’ve appeared
