Crappy Non-article in the LA Times

1. The article names no names. It doesn't name the alleged Democratic consultant. And it quotes a Republican who says there are other Dems, but he doesn't name them either.

2. The headline puts a phrase in quotes that the Dem Consultant says was the "message" from the White House. Obviously a paraphrase.

3. It also puts the "threat" the Dem consultant felt he received into a quote that is just an interpretation.

The article is like Fox. There's no news there.

Democratic consultant says he got a warning from White House after appearing on Fox News
'We better not see you on again,' the strategist says he was told by a White House official. The White House communications director denies that officials urge such a boycott.

Reporting from Washington - At least one Democratic political strategist has gotten a blunt warning from the White House to never appear on Fox News Channel, an outlet that presidential aides have depicted as not so much a news-gathering operation as a political opponent bent on damaging the Obama administration.

The Democratic strategist said that shortly after an appearance on Fox, he got a phone call from a White House official telling him not to be a guest on the show again. The call had an intimidating tone, he said.

The message was, "We better not see you on again," said the strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to run afoul of the White House. An implicit suggestion, he said, was that "clients might stop using you if you continue."

and

"But Patrick Caddell, a Fox News contributor and former pollster for President Carter, said he had spoken to Democratic consultants who said they were told by the White House to avoid appearances on Fox. He declined to give their names."

Respectful Town Hall Thugs

The AP reports that a Republican, Grassley's, town hall meetings have attendees that were respectful unlike other politicians town halls recently. Well, of course, the other politicians were Democrats and the thugs who are disrupting town hall meetings are Republican operatives and their dups fed by the lies and money of insurers. It's amazing that the AP wants to charge bloggers 12.50 to quote 5 words and those words turn out to be not only useless and inaccurate but also biased.

Grassley is feeding them the "death panel" lie. He's one of the thugs.

Government Programs

A large percentage of the (paid?) protesters against health care reform don't know that Medicare is a government program. The difference between right-wing protesters and left-wing protesters is accurate information. Right-wing thugs are the tools of corporate interests while left-wing activists are fighting against the moneyed interests.

This just in...

Some guy named Obama won the presidency.

I get to keep wearing my Obama cap.

Obama the Steady won the debate

Brokaw, the NBC liason to the McCain campaign, selected the debate questions based on an outdated sense of what politics has become. The Republicans always hide behind someone else's reputation until it's used up.

McCain is getting poll-axed.

I don't want to start a Red-state Scare, but McCain is a wild-eyed erradical.

Another similarity to Bush: McCain is all ass-hat. no cattle.

McCain's heart has already beat over 2,264,178,600 times and that doesn't even count all the sex he had when he was younger.

McCain's political capital turned out to be a sub-prime loan.

McCain's current incarnation should face incarceration in concern for the nation.

McCain should get a boob job. Turn those man boobs into man bazooms and get all those hormonal barely repressed male pundits back in his corner.

They wind up Palin and send her out to spout their smears. And she's easily wound up. She's McCain's spokesmodel.

Gotta go take the car in for an oil change that we need.

Shock and Aw Shucks

Will Sarah Palin, the vocal yokel, use her "Shock and Aw Shucks" schtick to wink her way into the presidency while McCain nods off? Or will Obama the Steady take his leftful place in the White House?

Sarah Palin readin' The Economist:

Tuh... thu... The...E..con...omi...st. Whew! Done!

Winkin' not blinkin'

KKK Day

Does McCain think he's playing kabbadi with his political footballs?
Does Palin think this is a kabuki performance with no substance?
Is Palin ulitmately just a droning kaka?
Are they both reading from a kakemono of talking points?
Is that old man smell kakidrosis?
Will McCain/Palin usher in a form of kakistocracy?
Or will we soon be saying kaddish over McCain's campaign?

Brokaw Spanks Olbermann?

Tom Brokaw, the NBC liason to the McCain Campaign, was instrumental in getting Olbermann taken off anchor duties for political events. Now Olbermann has named Obama one his Worst Persons in the World. Is Olbermann kowtowing to Brokaw now?

Flyboy, Interrrupted

I'm for another McCain suspension. This time by the balls.

McCain's going to have to pay rent on the green room if they keep having do-overs with Katie Couric. Hey John, if you pick it, it will never heal.

I think McCain has untreated shell shock. I would call it Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome but when McCain got it, it was still shell shock.

McCain is acting like a chicken with a head-deficit.

Hand to hand politics

An amusing moment happened to me at the store the other day. I was walking down the aisle and a very old woman started shaking her fist at me in that faux angry way. I didn't get it for moment and then I realized I had my Obama cap on. So when we passed I gave her a little terrorist fist bump on her hand. She smiled and patted me on the shoulder.

Witchcraft Begone

I need a young priest and an old priest.

Ironic Similarities

With all this talk of the inaccessibility of Palin, I can't help but note that on Talking Points Memo (an otherwise great site) they don't allow comments on Josh and David's posts. Interesting.
