Hillary: From Lincoln Bed To Flatbed
2008-04-28 22:50:00
Shot-and-beer swilling Hillary patently preposterous phony pimp to Joe Sixpack by challenging Obama to a debate on "a flatbed truck." ABC NewsHillary was heard warbling off-camera: "Well, I'm a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and such a fine sight to see It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me Come on, baby, don't say maybe I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me We may lose and we may win though we will never be here again so open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy." The Eagles are her favorite lyricists. During Bill/Monica, Secret Service agents report Hillary cried in her Baccarat glass of Gray Goose vodka to "Lyin' Eyes"...The irony of her "?We could even do it on the back of a flatbed truck. It doesn?t even need to be in some fancy studio somewhere" gambit staged on the banks of the Cape Fear River in Wilmington, NC wasn't lost on me.

NYP CNN will take him back... Liberal outrage to Rush Limbaugh 's "I'm Dreaming Of Riots In Denver" (sung to the tune of "White Christmas") played on his show Wednesday: Huff Post I listened to Rush yesterday trying to quell the tempest in a teapot.

Hillary: Climb E'vry Mountain
2008-04-25 17:44:00
So I went to the Hillary pimp-a-thon in Asheville in the mountains of western NC last night. Executive summary: it was mashup of a Hitler Youth rally and Ringling Bros.The venue was small: 2,500 seat auditorium. The T-shirted and buttoned Hillary shills were crowing outside that "6,000 people" were snaking around the block in line billed as "a mile long." The overflow was relegated to listening to Hill's tedious stump speech on outside speakers. The number inside and out was no more than 3,500."Outside food and drink" weren't allowed. There was a concession stand where the star struck Hillary ciphers could buy obscenely expensive Coke and popcorn and munch in their seats during the political performance. A guy billing himself as Hillary's "North Carolina's Field Director" ripped a page from Bob Barker's "Price Is Right" playbook ordering clueless cell phone users to text message him to win a prize. A lousy T-shirt. Clever ploy to get their phone numbers. Like sheep, the zombies...

CBS News: They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
2008-04-24 16:43:00
It is time for CBS News to be put down, in the Old Yeller sense of the phrase. It's time to turn out the lights and just start airing Hollywood gossip at 6:30 p.m. The network could follow Schieffer's lead and simply dissolve the thing after the inauguration, maybe keeping 60 Minutes around, either as a commercial-free public service program (because what exec doesn't love a prestige-hogging loss leader?) or under the auspices of CBS' entertainment division (because why keep pretending?). The farewell would be handled with dignified pomp?tributes to Murrow and Severeid and so forth. And if Walter Cronkite is in good health, he could do the honors with a final sign off. I'm serious. That's how bad things are, and that's the way it is. Troy Patterson Slate "Dead Air.

The Amazing Randi Part II

The wheels are falling off Randi Goldklank's bus. The Boston Ch. 7 GM's spin on her arrest over the weekend as she exited a flight at Logan Airport has more holes in it than Charles Manson's head. The station covered the story with a vanilla statement, announcing she's outta there on "administrative leave" following her obscenity-laced tirade. Goldklank denied she'd been drinking but someone overheard her saying she had "three dozen drinks" and the anti-depressant Lexapro. According to an explosive police report, Goldklank assaulted a state trooper and broke his eyeglasses; threatened to put an officer ?on TV and ruin your life,? and screamed, ?do you know who the fuck I am? I?ll have a news crew down here in minutes and you will lose your fucking jobs you fucks. Boston Herald (I replaced the BH "expletives deleted" with the real thing.) Read the police report.
