Of Tea Parties And Town Halls

It wasn’t until the dog days of August truly set in, however, that the President began to feel the sting of cable newsers gone wild. After two plus years of being tied to the election narrative the media entered late summer with not a whole lot to keep themselves occupied, and the country with an economy that refused to get better. Welcome to the town hall! (Also, hello Glenn Beck!).

We need a change to the Constitution that allows for a referendom on the quality of an administration after the first year.
It would allow a choice. Pick one in each section.
The President is doing a great job, lets keep him……………….___
Oh crap, what have we done. We need a do over………………..___

Congress is doing a great job, Let’s keep them as is…………___
Who elected those morons? Let’s switch party’s in
every district, nationwide. Let’s hold a lottery, any adult
citizen can buy a ticket (max 5 tickets per adult)…………………..___

9 Months… and what has been accomplished. A dead fly, beer, and a failed attack on FNC. A few good speeches, an (admittedly) undeserved award, and some legislation that probably won’t make it to law.

Woo-hoo????

Well… Bush didn’t have the same kind of situation when he took office, now did he? No wars, no recession, etc. Additionally, by this time, 9-11 had already happened, and we were in Afghanistan… Bush’s approval numbers were way high.

But more importantly… does it matter? I thought Obama was elected to be BETTER than Bush… not to be equal to? Why would you want to compare them, to show how parallel they are? What does that prove?

Stephen Colbert: ‘Sarah Palin is a F***king Retard’

10:06 am, Tuesday

The usually reliable Keith Olbermann's inability to nail Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin on Limbaugh's use of the term "retard" has been pretty frustrating. Sure, he has posited Palin as a hypocrite, but several times he has repeated Rush's and Palin's dueling assertions that he was "quoting" Rahm Emanuel, or that he was being "satirical," without really challenging it. Luckily, Stephen Colbert actually knows what the word "satire" means, and deployed a pile of it on Palin and Rush last night.

Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart Fail to Eviscerate Sarah Palin

9:12 am, Tuesday

Hyperbole must be over. How else does one explain the extremely disappointing bits that Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann did on Sarah Palin last night? Handed (thank you, I'm here all week) 3 days of Palin material that rivaled anything George W. Bush ever gave them, Olbermann could barely manage a molecule of spittle, let alone a lather, and Stewart deployed his seldom-used Nerf™ jokes.
