When you're up to you*ss in alligators....


...it's hard to remind yourself that your initial objective was to drain the swamp.



It's been a busy weekend and I haven't had much time for anything political...life has a tendency to get in the way sometimes.....









Caught a few glimpses at the morning "talking heads" on the Sunday talk show rounds before I had to get busy this morning...a couple of observations...

Murtha on Meet the Press. Jack was incredible. He's been around long enough to know how to handle hacks like Tim Russert. Russert feels it is his journalistic duty to confront every Democrat on his show with every Republican talking point that comes over his fax machine, but Murtha just batted each point back to Russert like Agassi used to do at Wimbledon. Good job.

I also got to catch a few minutes of KOS appearing on Reliable Sources with Howie Kurtz....again, Kurtz had to pull the "gotcha" routine by confronting KOS with a quote from the days of the incident in Falluja which touched off the American assault on that city of 300,000 people. Kurtz also took a shot at KOS for appearing in a recent NED LAMONT commercial against Liebermann and asked if KOS was a "journalist or Democratic Party Activist"...it's completely obvious that Kurtz has no clue about bloggers or blogging. Kos also got in a great shot about the problem with mainstream media...he said mainstream media was concerned about showing "both sides" regardless of the truth. Good call KOS...

Oh yes, I missed this one because I don't watch FAUX NEWS but apparently Cal Thomas got in a great quote about all the other cable TV networks trying to be like Fox....apparently he said, "There's only so much trailer park trash pie to go around."

Here's the video...

Gonna have a glass of wine, a hot shower and going to bed....

night all.....
