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.”

Is there no end to Obama’s arrogance?

The man has the AUDACITY to use good grammar and complete sentences.

No wonder millions of ordinary folks — y’know, real Americans — have hailed Sarah Palin as a breath of  political fresh air.

You betcha!

Right-wing ideologue laughably blames Democrats for financial crisis

Grover Norquist (above), a leading light of the conservative movement and a good buddy of jailbird Jack Abramoff (see HERE), says Democrats are to BLAME for the current financial crisis.

But then, to guys like Norquist, Democrats are to blame for everything.

By the way, Norquist once proposed that Ronald Reagan’s visage be added to Mount Rushmore. Need I say more?

UPDATE: HERE’s documentary proof that Norquist’s theory is wrong.

Whistling past the graveyard

Michael Steele (above), a candidate for chairman of the Republican National Committee, SAYS reports of the GOP’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Perhaps so, but methinks his prescription for political recovery is faulty. It seeks to build on a shrinking base that now prevails mostly in the Bible Belt, and it ignores signs that the Religious Right has  become an albatross for the Republican Party.

Appoint Big Dog to the Senate? That’d be cool

I like the BUZZ about the possibility of Bill Clinton filling the remainder of Hillary’s term in the Senate while she serves as secretary of state.

Fox News has profound grasp of the obvious

Fox News, ever eager to report that Barack Obama is an arrogant elitist, WANTS US TO KNOW that the pomp attending the former Illinois senator’s public pronouncements these days is all quite unofficial. The guy is not yet our president.

Wow! What a scoop! 

Why don’t those liberal devils in the mainstream media tell us these things? Is it because they’re always quick to promote any uppity minority type who comes along?

UPDATE: For a much better perspective on Obama’s pronouncements of late, check THIS.

I’m thinking of investing my vast fortune in truly liberal media

Who’s Blago’s pick to fill Obama’s Senate seat?

Jesse Jackson Jr.? Tammy Duckworth? Luis Gutierrez? Jan Schakowsky? Lisa Madigan?

Hey, how about Charles Box or Doug Scott, both former mayors of Rockford and Blagojevich appointees to state jobs?

Candace Gingrich, lesbian, GIVES her bigoted half-brother a heaping helping of what-for.

Good for her.

Still more on paranoia over the Fairness Doctrine

THIS GUY says the persistent, but unfounded, rumors about  liberals trying to kill conservative talk radio are born of right-wing self-pity.

(Previous Applesauce posts on this matter are HERE and HERE.)
