In an interview with National Review's Peter Robinson, Fox News chief Roger Ailes admitted that the White House may have "legitimate complaints" about the way in which Fox News covers them.

Robinson, referencing President Obama's snub of Fox News last September when he appeared on every major Sunday talk show except for Chris Wallace's "Fox News Sunday," told Ailes that the White House is "whining over nothing." Ailes did not agree:
Well, I don't think they're whining over nothing and I think they have -- look, there's legitimate complaints that they could have. And I've had this dialogue with David Axelrod, who I like very much and, there are legitimate areas.

Closer inspection of a photo of Sarah Palin, during a speech in which she mocked President Obama for his use of a teleprompter, reveals several notes written on her left hand. The words "Energy", "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits" are clearly visible.
-----
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (8 PM CST)
Ahh sweet Earl Grey Revolution! Sarah Palin knew that speech like the back of her hand. The Q&A answers, however, were on the front of her hand.

Or so it appeared.

During the Q&A following her speech at the Tea Party Convention, Ms. Palin appeared to read from her hand in answering.

Dem Talking Points: We're Screwed! (TPM)

Bookmark and Share
Democratic Party SymbolImage by dbking via Flickr
TalkingPointsMemo: New Senate Democratic talking points, distributed in response to last night's special election in Massachusetts show the party pre-emptively placing the blame for a lackluster agenda moving forward on Republicans, who Dems say they now need to pass legislation.

"Republicans have an obligation to the American people to join us in governing our nation through these difficult times and to help clean up the mess they left behind," reads the memo obtained by TPMDC. "It is mathematically impossible for Democrats to pass legislation on our own. Senate Republicans to come to the table (sic) with ideas for improving our nation and not obstructionist tactics."

Reid Apologizes for Racial Remarks About Obama (New York Times)

Bookmark and Share

From YouTube, August 27, 2008: Senate majority leader Harry Reid explains why he is nominating Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee for President.

Published: January 9, 2010

WASHINGTON — Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, apologized on Saturday for saying that he believed Barack Obama could become the country’s first black president because he was “light-skinned” and had the advantage of carrying “no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

The apology was prompted by the release of a new book on the 2008 presidential campaign, which reported that Mr. Reid privately urged Mr. Obama to seek the presidency more than three years ago despite his limited experience and the historical obstacles to making a successful bid for the White House.

“I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words,” Mr. Reid said in a statement. “I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African Americans for my improper comments.”

Cousin Martin Andelman's 2008 Political Year-in-Review

Bookmark and Share

(Sung to the tune of "T'was the Night Before Christmas".)

RFP Nation






T’was the night before Christmas 2008,
And as I relaxed by the fire to contemplate,
What a remarkable year this past one had been,
So I poured a nice pinot, and dove right in.

When it started we all wondered just whom we’d be electing,
As to which one would win, there appeared no detecting.
But we knew one thing for sure, and for this we were happy,
Compared to Bush our next pres couldn’t be half as crappy.

Most thought Hillary would be our first presidential Mama,
Back then we weren’t quite sure that we’d all love Obama.

Of course, Edwards was running but we didn’t much care,
We were still talking about his fabulous hair.

There was Richardson too, and ole’ Tail Gunner Joe
And Kucinich whose wife looks like a very high priced ho.

Drunk journalist covering Obama quits with the f-word and, oh, it's on YouTube (cnet)

Adam Smith has a headache today.

And it's nothing to do with the world economy.

Mr. Smith flew to Miami to work with the "Miami Beach, baby" Obama campaign and to try and "make the world a better place."

At least that is what he is now claiming. And it may well be true.

However, he was filmed, seated on the sidewalk, somewhat the worse for wear, filing copy for his newspaper, the estimable Birmingham Mail of England's second city.

The chap who filmed him, a highly altruistic Dutch amateur journalist from the famed Couscous Global, a "worldwide website community where young people from all over the world between the ages of 16 and 25 share their most personal issues," managed to capture some fine quotes.

For example: "I wanted to be here because I'm here for history. The trouble is the readers of the Birmingham Mail are going to get my version of history. And I'm a little bit pissed."

That would be pissed as in more sheets to the wind than it takes to win the America's Cup.

The intrepid Dutchman also obtained this jewel: "And thank god for the BBC, because I'm cutting and pasting, oh, baby!" Which sounds remarkably like an admission that Mr. Smith was copylifting from the BBC.

The crescendo of sidewalk drama reached a piercing pitch, however, with Mr. Smith's declaration: "My name is Adam Smith, also known as Steve Zacharanda, who has just resigned from the Birmingham Mail, the Birmingham Post and the Birmingham Sunday Mercury, to set up my own magazine...F**k you, I'm doing what I want."

Naturally, the chap from Couscous Global immediately went back to his tent on the beach and uploaded the 3 minutes and 47 seconds of intimate honesty on YouTube.

Obama Wins: Why All Americans Have a Reason to Celebrate (Arianna Huffington)

Even if your candidate didn't win tonight, you have reason to celebrate. We all do.

Ten months ago, when Obama won in Iowa, we had a glimpse of what was possible and what became real tonight. What I wrote then about one state is now true for the whole country:

Barack Obama's impressive victory says a lot about America, and also about the current mindset of the American voter.

Because tonight voters decided that they didn't want to look back. They wanted to step into the future -- as if a country exhausted by the last seven-plus years wanted to recapture its youth.

And they turned out in unprecedented numbers today to make sure that no amount of scrubbed rolls, malfunctioning machines, endless lines, or polling places running out of ballots would block the way.

The Woody Allen Effect

Bookmark and Share

Everyone's talking about the Bradley Effect (or at least everyone looking to preemptively explain The Diebold Effect)...

But what about the Woody Allen Effect, a.k.a, the Inadequacy Factor?

Let's face it, it's been easy being a schmuck the last 8 years, because no matter what I did, I could confidently tell myself I was a better person than the President.

But Obama is clearly a better man than I - reasoned, thoughtful, accomplished - and that makes me... uncomfortable.
(McCain and Palin... not so much).

Sure, President Obama might motivate me to become a better citizen, reassess my life's goals, reevaluate my methods, and improve the world for the benefit of everyone... but I'd rather just keep selfishly underachieving without having an elected mirror reflect my inadequacies.

I'm sure a lot of other real Americans feel the same way.

Keep Sucking America.
Country Worst.
