Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

If I might borrow the title of an old Guess Who song from back in the ’70s, I suggest that we all “Clap for the Wolfman.”
The dude uncharacteristically makes good sense HERE.

So Wolf Blitzer finally said something that made sense to you? Ok…but what didn’t you like about Wolf before this? Because he’s Jewish? Because?

“Because he’s Jewish?” That’s even below your usual low level of discourse. As for Wolf, I used to pick on him a lot on my previous blog. For you, I’ll let my friend up in Madison, Griper Blade, do the honors (with regard to Blitzer’s ridiculous performance in one of the Republican debates): http://griperblade.blogspot.com/2007/06/does-wolf-blitzer-want-to-replace-bob.html

For the record, I was not accusing you of being anti-semitic. I just felt that you offered no further reasons for your feelings on Wolf and thought I’d stir the pot a little :-)… He isn’t a right leaning commentator and I haven’t seen anything in his background to irritate you. IMHO most debates served softballs. You gave disdainful reviews of tough questions to democrats ala Tim Rusert.

I give disdainful reviews to any debate moderator who asks stupid questions about frivolous matters or who asks for a show of hands on any subject. Here’s an exchange between Tim Russert and Hillary Clinton (born in Chicago, represents New York) in one of the debates:
RUSSERT: Senator Clinton, what about a World Series, Yankees and Cubs?
CLINTON: Well, you know, I’ve worried about that because I think, given the Cubs’ record, which—of course I, I hope it happens, but it could very well be a sign of the coming apocalypse were that to ever occur. It would be so out of history that you’d have the Cubs vs. the Yankees. Then I’d be really in trouble. But I—
RUSSERT: But who would you be for?
CLINTON: Well, I would probably have to alternate sides.
By the way, at that juncture, Russert had not yet asked ANY candidates about climate change, which is a hell of a lot more important than baseball.
Russert’s an overrated idiot.

No way I agree with you on this particular debate. He fired softballs the first hour…ok. BUT he exposes Hillary on illegal aliens with flip flopping …and challenges Obama on Farrakahn. Climate Change questions? Democrats are automatically going to give the formula speech…no difference in views on the democratic side. In fact…all Fortune 500 companies cater to the climate change nonsense to make money.
