Factor This
2008-05-06 23:55:00
TV By The Numbers: Hillary did wonders for Bill O’Reilly’s The O’Reilly Factor on Fox News, and last Wednesday’s airing made the top 20 at #19. And it doesn’t matter how badly the yellow and porous one beats up on Bill O., we’re sure none of that is going to keep him humble. Though when he thinks about losing to the Britney’s pregnant as jailbait little sister, Jamie Lynn, it still must sting a little bit. Of course the chances that he ever thinks about that are: ZERO! Comes this ass-kissing after Fox & Friends Steve Doocy sent up a giant PR company on air for for offering free de-lousing for Fox News green room guests who were in the house when the Fox was crawling with bedbugs: E-mail from PR marketing honcho to Gawker It seemed like a good idea at the time. Sometimes the commitment to generate publicity can get an agency in trouble.

Hillary: I'm Your Vehicle, Baby
2008-05-06 22:34:00
Hillary hauls "testidular fortitude" to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway today and injects racing terms into her speech with embarrassing overkill. Wash Post Examiner"That we need to get on the track in America"... "If you want to go forward, you put it in D. If you want to go backward, you put it in R." There is no reverse gear in racing cars... Put it in D for dumb.

NBC News: Murder She Wrote
2008-05-06 22:03:00
NBC News is not smarter than a 5th grader. Quinn the Eskimo sez: There are no waddling penguins at the North Pole. The UK teenage girl interviewee's worst fears plodding through the Arctic snow were a) shedding the multiple layers to go to "the loo", b) wanting to give polar bears a hug after learning how to shoot. Brian Williams, NBC News, reporter Michelle Kosinski, and a murder of producers (it's a "murder of penguins") committed news suicide by inserting penguins into Kosinski's piece. See it before NBC excised the penguins :29 in. Breitbart vidEven the polar bear is embarrassed...

The Irrelevancy Of MSNBC
2008-05-02 14:40:00
Bill O'Reilly killed with Hillary. 3.7 mil viewers - a million more than usual. NYP PoliticoMSNBC blowhard Chris Matthews: The NYT is missing the politics (of Fox News and Hillary). NYT Paranoid Matthews divines a Fox conspiracy: polarizing Hillary rather than bland McCain = ratings and more conservative howling. One word: Ha!!!!!!Apparently the begrudging admiration wore off overnight as MSNBC's "Morning Joe" today supered a Hillary/O'Reilly segment with "Bill-O" - Keith Olbermann's moniker for his arch rival. Jealousy. Olbermann's "Faux News" is legitimized by liberals. MSNBC is the green-eyed monster spinning rationalizations like cornered politicians. "When they get it right on Fox, it is cause for a celebration," snipes wussy Dan Abrams.

Jay Levine WCBS2: "He counseled Obama Tuesday morning, and while CBS 2 talked to him Tuesday evening, Rev. Wright called his cell phone." Pastor: "I don't think he had any intention to hurt Barack. He loves Barack."I think the pain and the moment took over." Levine: That moment was in a place Pfleger called "a lion's den" ? The National Press Club.

Politico NYDN NYT NYP Wash PostTo employ the hackneyed trite phrase, Obama should've "thrown" Judas Wright "under the bus" right out of the gate. Maybe too late now...Rush Limbaugh: "Obama gave a stumbling press conference... Rev. Jeremiah Wright has been saying these things for 20 years. He said nothing new in the past few days.

Shot-and-beer swilling Hillary patently preposterous phony pimp to Joe Sixpack by challenging Obama to a debate on "a flatbed truck."

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.

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...
