Charlie's Obsession

In yesterday's squawk session, Sykes showed more than his usual level of obsession with the faux outrage that Team McPalin is trying to stir up regarding Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment.

Even though it made Sykes look as desperate as the McPalin campaign, he tried to work lipstick into every topic and in every segment.

Then it dawned on me why the phrase reverberated so much for Sykes. It has to do with his still lingering disappointment with RUDY! dropping out of the presidential race, and one of the reason Sykes likes him so much:

Public Plea For Support

Let us have a moment of silence out of respect for the grief that Sykes must be experiencing at this moment.

Tee Hee.

And McCain won. It will be fun to see the right wing media twist in the wind now.

McBride's presidential prediction

She predicts the general election debates will be between Rudy and Hillary, and the candidates will wear protective face masks.

Wait, She Can't Do That, Can She?

McBride again shows her journalistic integrity with a post deriding Hillary Clinton, a presidential candidate, for answering a question about terrorism as she promotes her candidacy. McBride goes starts with:

Her first thoughts about another terrorist attack occurring involve how it could help her politically.

.

She then goes on to state that the Democrats are at a disadvantage, in her opinion, in the event of a future terrorist attack, because the Republicans are the deciders and the do-gooders, while the Democrats are just a bunch of obstructionists.

.

Several issues could be brought up about this posting of McBride's. One could be trivial and point out that McBride's link leads to the Blogger sign in page, as opposed to a real news story like this.

.

Or one could discuss how McBride thinks that infringements of rights, isolationism, violations of the Geneva convention and human rights, and an illegal war which caused a recruiting boom and training camp for terrorists is actually a good thing. This could be followed up with McBride's disdain for diplomacy and statesmanship.

.

But the true McBrideian part of the post is that she lambastes Clinton for answering a question about terrorism, but puts on her cheerleader uniform and picks up her pom poms for Mr. 9/11, Newt, and her real life version of Jack Bauer (who not only capitalized on terrorism politically, but also monetarily).
