A Few Thoughts

Of course Gonzales is a moron,who hired him, Lincoln? Before this gig,his only task was to slide death warrants under Bush's then preoccupied nose to convince all those cowboys in Texas that he could be a real man like his Daddy. It takes a real man to murder minorities deprived of competent counsel. Bush has been so wrong so often, if he were a bookie, he would be taking the Royals to win the World Series.

Yes, Alec Baldwin sucks for yelling at his child, but his ex-wife REALLY sucks for making it public. I would never expose a child to that sort of public display.

If Imus stays fired and Michael Savage and Glenn Beck go unscathed, it will be a shame.

Now,right now is the time for the liberals to get a sack and go after the N.R.A.

Melanie Morgan is the worst talk show host in America, a racially bigoted know nothing bottle hair colored loser. I think she's married to Jack Swanson, a big deal PD in SF,otherwise she would be doing the traffic in Sioux Falls.

John McCain is not qualified to be president, or senator, or congressman. He was elected because he was a POW. He is a camera hungry gadfly who has neither the integrity or brains to run the country. If Bush said about my wife what he said about mine, there would be no embrace. I would tell Dobson to kiss my ass and smack Rove in his pudgy visage. Too much whore,not enough john.

Any woman who would shag Paul Wolfowitz deserves a raise.

Hey,George, if Israel can meet with Hamas,you have no excuse for Condi not meeting openly with Iran unless she is a gross incompetent. Oh!!!

My View of the View

I watched the View for a few minutes, and I'd like to congratulate Rosie O' Donnell for not talking for the entire time the show is not advertising a product. In fact, I'd like to say kudos to Rosie for not also doing the spots, the intro, the warm-up, and the seating. I know how hard she is driving a metaphorical nail in her hand to stop her id from mauling her ego.

One of the poor saps on the show brings up a show and Rosie makes it hers like stealing a loaf of bread from their arms. For all Rosie knows, she brought up the topic,so self-involved is she. It obviously has paid off, but man, she is one all about me person.

I never though I'd say this,but that show misses Star Jones. Star Jones would not have let Joy Behar get away with saying that Imus should not be fired, "it's not like he's Charles Manson".

Wrong!!!! Compare Imus to Stern or Mancow, but not a mass killer, Manson should be compared to Richard Speck, not Don Imus. What Imus said is a big deal, and Star would have articulated that.
The show needs a Black voice. And if they think that Rosie is a suitable fill-in,they are wrong.

What They Do, What They Say

I was watching a segment of "MacLaughlin", and it hit me that except for the host,I have interviewed all of the pundits I was watching today. Yeah!!!!
They were discussing Imus, and Tony Blankley of the Washington Times said Imus' firing sends a chilling message throughout electronic media. Yeah, the message is stop talking like you're at the nineteenth hole in a segregated golf club. It's the public you're broadcasting to, and although your Black demographic is less of a percentage than the number that vote Republican, the nation, as a whole, is turning brown. There are less of us (especially in the Gen Xers and younger) who care about race. It is telling that the whole Rutgers team, white and black, felt the sting of Imus' slurs.

What I find chilling is that Howard Kurtz, the Uriah Heep of Beltway print, revealed that what Imus said on the air about different ethnic groups is said by pundits behind closed doors all the time. Great! Imus gets the sack and print princes get yuks from their "Diceman" sendups.

Do you think that if there were more Black people in punditville, these opiners would find it less convenient to vent their Klan vibe?

So kids, here is the lessons we have learned.
1)Helping sick kids doesn't let you off the hook for racism.
2)If you fired someone for vile remarks, having him back on isn't smart.
3)Try having other Black people on besdies religious zealots.
4)Calling Hillary Clinton a fat pig doesn't let you off the hook when you reinvite the person (Jay Severin) who said it.
5)They were academically gifted, athletically blessed college kids who were denigrated. Now people who have daughters who look like those young ladies have a voice that is heard. Next time, listen to that voice.

No Standards, No Peace

If my program director comes into the control room, and says a change or tweak is needed here or there, I try it, he only has the best intentions for the good of the show.
If a program director strides into Imus's studio with an idea, there is a good chance he might be told to get the hell out. No one tells Imus what to do. He brings millions of dollars to WFAN, and has been doing so for years, so if he decided to cross the race or sexual line, or if one of his minions said something vile, Imus would register disdain, and then repeat the behavior.
I tape the Imus show on MSNBC, and watch it when I come home. He is a great interviewer and gets big names. However, things come out of mouths on that show that make me wince. There is no reason to call Hillary Clinton a fat pig. There is no reason to call Serena Williams an animal. There is no reason to use the word jigaboo unless you make it plain what the source is, and in what context it is referenced.
So when Imus filled the air with his "nappy hos" crack,. it turned his world upside down. He has lost respect, he has lost days on the air, and he talks and acts like a broken man who doesn't quite get it. Saying that a lot of Black people listen to your show is another version of "some of my best friends...".
Having said all that, I do not think he should be suspended. It is a meaningless exercise. Either fire him or don't, suspension is wussy. Besides, from what I saw today, Imus appears broken, defeated, the show is dull and repetitive, and none of his sidekicks utters a word, since these middle aged communicators evidently can't speak without screwing up.
And by the way, how the hell did Reverends Jackson and Sharpton make their way to the moral high ground on this topic?
This is the same Al Sharpton who slandered Steve Pagones, perpetrated the Tawana Brawley fiasco, and referred to a store owner as a "white interloper", and is allowed to speak at the Democratic Convention. Yes, people can change,and he has,but his living in the now of racial politics is unfair. No one should have the breadth and depth of their life judged on a snapshot, or even a series of snapshots, and that goes for Imus.
Reverend Jackson has got to stop showing up at every party, or people will think he is freeloading. He is so used to speaking in vague platitudes, that I bet if you stopped in mid speech, he could not recall the last sentence he spoke.
Fire him, don't fire him, but if you want to be fair, fine him like you fined CBS over Janet Jackson affair, now that's justice and peace.

Why McCain?

Why does John McCain deserve to be president? Has he shown wisdom? Has he shown shrewdness? Has he shown the ability to lead? The answer to these four questions is: He hasn't, no, no, and no.

What McCain has shown is the knack for getting his face in front of a camera. Over the last decade, McCain has been the go to guy for a quote on anything from war to online gambling. He portrayed himself as a maverick, a true conservative who differed from fundamentalists on social issues. It all sounds good, but it is not who John McCain is, and now that we know little more about who he is, we don't like what we see and hear.

We see and hear a politician who will do and say anything to each his goal. He will backtrack on his positions, he will embrace people whom he earlier condemned, he will forgive people who smeared his wife, child and his military record, and he will allow himself to be caught in a lie, an embarrassing lie.

He would run with Kerry...oops,no...he won't. He blasts Jerry Falwell as a message of intolerance, then speaks at Falwell's Liberty College. He says abortion is a personal issue, then he says he would sign a bill that prevents a woman from terminating a pregnancy caused by the rape by a relative. He will lose a candidacy because of attacks on his family and career from Karl Rove, then embrace the president who allowed these smears to occur.

His latest gaffe may be the worst. McCain appeared on television to tell us that walking outside of the Green Zone is safe, but doesn't tell us he is escorted by damn near a division with Black Hawk helicopters. Where wouldn't you go with that group behind you?

McCain can't get out of this one,can he? He can't expect to be elected because he was in a POW cell,can he?
It's over.

Rat Family, Lifeboat for Three

Here's how I know that George Bush misses Andy Card: he's behind the news curve. Andy Card had the toughest job of all, making George Bush look like he knew what was happening. Andy would have never let Bush rap Nancy Pelosi about her visit to Syria four days after the story broke. He also would have told him that if he did knock her, he would look like an ass because three GOP Congressman not only visited Damascus at the same time, but had an audience with Assad as well. At a time when everyone wants us to negotiate with anyone who will listen, Bush is still a little cowboy on a quarter per ride dime store horse.
James Carville,asked to comment on the Republicans who impeached Clinton, replied that history will hunt them down. While history is at it, it should also bag Cheney, especially given his hunting record.

Why Do I Know More Than You?

So I'm supposed to applaud Matthew Dowd because he realized that George Bush was incompetent, stubborn, willful, and bullying? I'm supposed to applaud because Dowd, who changed parties and moved across the country for George Bush now knows he was used like a drunken starlet in a rapper filled VIP lounge? The New York Times gave Dowd a lot of space to tell us he fucked up. Well, you don't get a single point from me, Dowdy (is that what Bush called you when he forgot your first name?). When he said Christ was a political philosopher, when he said "fuzzy math", when he froze like a popsicle on 9/11, when he sat like an idiot at a Mensa meeting during the Katrina briefing, when he thought knowing Harriet Meiers heart was enough to make her a Supreme Court Justice, when he wouldn't fire that emissary from hell Donald Rumsfeld.
In spite of the loss of life and esteem, when he did all of these things, I knew Bush was a loser, so please excuse me if I don't crap myself because Dowd came this late to this disastrously catered party.

I want one moron who rapped Pelosi for going to Syria to now say he or she knew that three Republicans went to Syria AND met with Assad two days before Pelosi landed in Damascus, and that they lied, and that getting reliable info on a Democrat from Drudge is like getting reliable insulin from a faucet.

Dear Rosie: On behalf of anybody who lost a loved one on 9/11:
SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! Their pain is not worth your ego.

Remember all those Democrats the White House dissed over the last six years? How does crow taste between two slices of bread, George?
