* I have a new New York Post column. In it, I show that the double standard in the media is actually because the media loves us and thinks little of liberals.
“If there is a whiff of scandal — no matter how flimsy the evidence — the media will work overtime to see if there is anything to the scandal, because the media expect perfection from conservatives. That’s how much they believe in them.”
Actually, I’m just kind of tired about all the whining about the double standard. We get it. It’s been going on for like forever. And we’ve been succeeding despite it.
Hey, look! There’s now a picture of me on the online version (my picture has been accompanying my column in the physical paper for a while). Now you can just look at me and know it’s going to be a super smart column before you even start reading it.
* Things aren’t looking good for Cain. We actually have some specifics now. I’m not sure if it’s anything illegal, but it’s creepy if true. And even if it isn’t true, it looks like the end of Cain-mentum as he just doesn’t have the scandal-handling skills. Politics is for politicians, unfortunately.
Anyway, we know we’re going to nominate Romney and we can’t stop that, but I’m still willing to pretend we can get someone else. All we have left are Perry, who has a good resume but sounds like a drunk idiot in the debates, and Newt Gingrich, who’s smart except for some glaring flubs and has some weird past of his own. Do you know how Newt asked to divorce his wife while she was dying of cancer? Of course you do… even though it didn’t actually happen.
Grr… I hate Romney, but maybe he can have a fun VP pick like McCain did. Yay fun VP pick!
* Even if it means Romney as president, it still will be awesome to see Obama kicked out of the White House, at least. Right now, his administration is on record opposing adding FDR’s prayer to the WWII memorial. Here’s what Obama said about that:
“Prayers are the leading cause of bitterness and clinginess, so I oppose them in all venues. Mmm… waffles.”
Well, I don’t know if he actually said that, but we can safely assume he did at some fundraiser where press wasn’t allowed. One with a waffle bar.
* So what has Occupy Wall Street been up to lately? They’ve been using children as human shields to block traffic. Not great, not great. They’ve had a lice outbreak. Also not optimal. But have they gotten any of their demands met… or figured out what those demands are? That does not appear to be so. But rest assure they’ll stay put until… something.
The whole “We’re the 99%” slogan does seem like a desperate reassurance they’re not fringe weirdos.
* There’s talk that Eric Holder may use the Fast and Furious hearing to push for gun control. Well, here’s my idea to reduce gun deaths: Let’s get rid of this administration and replace it with one that won’t sell gun to Mexican drug cartels. That’s so crazy it just might work!
* Crowder visits Occupy Wall Street. If you’ve always wanted to see Crowder argue for Communism to a bystander, here you go:
* My book, Obama: The Greatest President in the History of Everything
Actually I am taking the day off November 15, but I’ll be playing Saints Row III. And maybe reading your little book thingy.
I was all psyched for the book about a month or two ago, but now I’m not so sure.
I think I’ll wait for the movie.
Oh, and one piece of advice. Put SarahK’s pic on your columns. People like to look at attractive people when they read their papers.
You know, like Krugma….ummmm…. Richa….ummmm…
Okay, go with your pic.
Gloria Allred has an immediate opening for a ‘Blond Bimbo’ to bring charges of sexual harassment against Herman Cain. Applicant need not be attractive, must be middle-aged, must be female, prefer a registered Republican. Pay and benefits depend on ability to tell a believable story, while keeping a straight face and generating media sympathy. Duration of employment will be limited to length of Republican presidential race or complete destruction of Cain’s reputation. Employment is temporary in nature and will end when the story loses it’s momentum or if applicant is unable to maintain a believable facade of truthfulness. Applicant will be expected to generate tears, sympathy, and display self-righteous indignation at all times she is before the media cameras. Applications may be sent to Allred, Maroko & Goldberg attorneys at law, Los Angles,CA.
“I have a new New York Post column.”
This continues to confuse me. Weren’t you always saying that we don’t need newspapers anymore?
Well, I don’t know if I’m credentialed enough to administer HIGH PRAISE! But, if I am/were/was, I would give HIGH PRAISE! to Crowder for keeping a straight face in the midst of all of the lunacy. I, for one, could not do that. Plus, he didn’t appear to punch any hippies (at least on camera) which goes above and beyond my capacity for self-control. HIGH PRAISE!
“Things aren’t looking good for Cain.”
Actually, Cain is still looking very good in the polls.
“…he just doesn’t have the scandal-handling skills.”
Meaning, he’s not handling phony scandals the way that people who want to continue with the status quo want him to handle scandals…the way they’ve always been handled in the past? Isn’t that kinda the whole idea of electing Herman Cain?
I don’t recognize you without your sunglasses, Frank.
I don’t care if Cain did what he is allegedly alleged to have done a hundred years ago according according to allegations made by an alleged human being. We put up with Clinton. We put up with Kennedy. Hell, at least Cain didn’t drive anybody into the river and dump them there. He was told to back off, and he backed off. You know what really strikes me? This broad comes whining out of nowhere about something that may or may not have happened ages ago. and then “She asked him to take her back to her hotel.” REALLY?? No . oh no no no. Either it never happened at all, or she got a kick out of it. A woman with concerns about a lack of gentlemanly behavior does not then accept a ride from that non-gentleman, especially not to a hotel. She takes a cab. She walks. She goes into the ladies room and crawls out the window before she gets in a vehicle with him. Why are we falling for this?
Still backing Cain until we get one of those moments where he goes to wipe his forehead on the podium and pulls out a pink lacy brassiere. And even then I may forgive him because it’s just so Benny Hillish.
November 15th — on calendar. Trash day, too. Hmmm — coincidence?
So, the beotch in question (Bialek) was fired from a previous job because she made provably false accusations of sexual harassment? And she was recently at a Tea Party event with Cain and hugged him?
Man, the stench is making it all the way through my Internet connection.
Guggysdad is right. I don’t know how Crowder kept a straight face. The guy interviewing him was priceless.
Did anyone else notice that Crowder was doing some serious scratching midway through?
Hey isn’t that zombie lookin’ dude whining to Crowder about the animals stealing his stuff the same guy who was giving an older man a lot of grief a few weeks ago?? Must be another case of what goes around comes around…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=855m8iVF864
I bet that decontamination shower Crowder took afterwards was a doozy.
So Cain had his hands up her skirt, on her chest, other places, and his face on her chest while maintaining control of an automobile in motion? Who do they think he is, Ted Kennedy or Bill Clinton ?
I see Frank posted his high school yearbook picture for his New Yotk Post column. A current picture would have had three days beard growth and baby spit on his shoulder.
Frank, your column (with natty picture, I might add) points to a hitherto hidden political truth. There is an corollary that says that conservatives expect very little from liberals — as if liberals are the high school intramural mock U.N. team up against qualified adult leaders.
But I don’t get paid until the 16th! I won’t be able to buy a copy of “Obama: The Greatest President in the History of Everything” on release day!
A lice outbreak, huh? At least now when we call them a bunch of lousy occupiers it will be literally true. Lousy occupiers!
Occupy Wall Street makes me feel special. I’m suddenly part of the elite 1%. I never knew I was before, but it’s obvious now that I must be; because they’re the 99% and there’s no way that I’m one of them.
All this talk of settling for Romney is driving me crazy. Can’t we all just agree that no matter what happens we won’t settle for whatever we find 10 feet under the out-house? Can’t we set our sites just a bit higher than that and settle for somebody, anybody else?
The whole “We’re the 99%” slogan does seem like a desperate reassurance they’re not fringe weirdos.
I am still trying to figure out, 99% of what? Used to be 8 million people worked in Manhattan. So if there are 990 homeless, jobless miscreants in Zucchini Park, where are the other 10? Probably not commuting to work in clean clothes, being productive and then going home to diner and clean sheets.
As Yosoff wrote, there’s no way I am one of them, and quite frankly I can’t think of anyone in my broadest circle of acquaintances that can identify with this rabble.
& that reminds me . .it ain’t CAIN that’s lacking scandal-handling skills here. It’s us!! Don’t you guys know weasel words? Why aren’t you using them? IMAO and even Legal Insurrection and Instapundit, lawyers for pete’s sake, ought to have better command of English. WE ARE IN A PROPAGANDA WAR. “Alleged” “unsubstantiated claim” “Ms. Bialek, who unsuccessfully filed sexual harassment charges at two other companies, makes the unsubstantiated claim that . . several years ago . . .” C’mon . . . you can do it, I know you can!!
I have pre-purchased the Greatest Book in the History of Everything. (Virtuous glow.)
And it’s a d*mn good that you did, Crabby. I hear that the rest of us may be waiting for the second printing.
I note DamnCat’s absence today. But I’ll wager he’ll set aside the 15th for tuna. You can’t win ’em all, Frank
Oh, and ussjimmycarter has Helen Thomas on his schedule that day. I checked his calendar (O.M.G!). So, he’ll be in no condition to do anything after she’s done with him.
For me, the 15th is my State’s International All-You-Can-Drink Coffee Day! So, there won’t be TIME for any book buying, Frank.
I pre-ordered the book.
If it’s not in my Kindle for PC one second after midnight on the 15th I’m calling the cops!
“* I have a new New York Post column. In it, I show that the double standard in the media is actually because the media loves us and thinks little of liberals.”
Teh funny aside, aren’t you getting just a little to close to a libel suit ?
On the other hand how the media could claim defamation of character would be another story.
I’m just stunned that Obama would tax Christmas trees! What’s next, the Easter Bunny? Santa Claus? Birthday Cakes? Haloween Costumes? I can’t process this stuff fast enough! As for children being buggered at Penn State…we always kind of suspected there was something going on there! I’ve had my eye on that place since they joined the Big 10. Happy Valley, indeed…
Isn’t there a Commandment from God “Thou shall not covet”? I don’t think God is pleased with the 99% right now! Smotin’ is about the only thing that is left. Water into blood, locusts, boils etc. etc. etc. I think the lice are just a fist warning shot across the bow!
After watching Crowders video, I realized that the park where all the flea baggers are hanging out is the same place where they filmed the final scenes of the exciting, special effects laden movie, The Sorcerers Apprentice.
Man, the neighborhood sure has gone down hill!
