McBride Strikes Back

McBride, not known for her originality, has responded to Tom McMahon's response to the "50+ Things You Won't Hear On Talk Radio". At first glance, one would have thought she was coming to the defense of her once former friend and mentor, Charlie Sykes. But upon further reading, it turns out to be, at best, a pedestrian and sophomoric attempt to get back at all those darn lefty blogs that would point out the errors of her thinking and/or writing. However, instead of repudiating "50+ Things", she ends up validating them.

In the interest of time and space, as well as the reader's sanity, only a few of the more special ones will be highlighted here. Those with strong enough constitution and/or masochistic tendencies, are welcome to go to the site itself.

The original rule will be in regular type, McBride's response will be in red (I couldn't resist the scarlet letter analogy) and Whallah's response to the response will be italicized.

7) The rich get richer and the poor get poorer; it's the Republican way.

So you admit that the economy is thriving?

The poor are supposed to get poorer and they don't deserve health care either.

14) I'm sorry.

Liberals only say they're sorry when they are gunning for cheap political gain by repudiating their earlier Iraq votes.

See, she can't say it either.

15) I was wrong.

Ditto.

Ditto.

18) George Bush made a mistake.

And supports amnesty for illegal aliens.And didn’t send enough troops to Iraq to secure the peace.But he’s pretty darn good at picking Supreme Court justices (the second time around).

See #14 and 15.

21There were no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq.

Too bad so many leading Democrats misled the country into believing there would be WMD found in Iraq.

It's the Democrats fault that Bush told them incorrect information? See #14 and 15.

28) Bill Clinton was incredibly popular.

So incredibly popular he was impeached.

Bill Clinton was incredibly popular, the Republicans had to try to impeach him, in order not to lose all power.

36When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed. – Mother Teresa

Or because Angelina Jolie was overextended.

She makes fun of a nun, but it's supposed to be the liberals that have no respect for religion.

54The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. -- Bertrand Russell

The fools and fanatics are the terrorists, and the self-doubters are the Democrats.

See how she proves the original point.

64Be a class act. Class seems to be inextricably related to kindness, consideration, and a general recognition of human worth. -- Roy Beers.

Maybe you should preach to the choir, liberals. Read your own blogs. Listen to your leaders. Read your last rule.

Do as I say, not as I do.

71Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth

Guess that rules out most liberal bloggers.

Guess that rules out most talk show hosts, and former talks show hosts.

83Paul Bucher has never been a judge, not even for one day.

Paul Bucher has never been a public defender.

No, but he is a trial lawyer.
