Post-election hissyfit among right-wing media is fun to observe

1 comment November 10th, 2008

The Hannitys and Limbaughs are waxing even more CRAZY in their efforts to retain large audiences of knuckle-draggers in the coming Obama era.

If talk radio couldn’t deny McCain the GOP nomination, how’s it going to deny Obama the presidency?

All the bluster from Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and a chorus of wannabes amounts to nothing more than preaching to the choir.

Don’t forget that  most of these radio blabbers stubbornly defended George W. Bush and his glorious war while the popularity of both declined precipitously.

And most of them didn’t want John McCain to become the Republican presidential nominee.

So much for their influence, even among Republican voters.

And don’t forget that Barack Obama leads in the polls, no matter that the radio radicals savage him every day.

So, I don’t think we need worry too much about THIS STUFF.

Right-wing comedians chortle at tire-gauge strategy, but the joke’s on them

16 comments August 5th, 2008

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity,  NEWT GINRICH and assorted other right-wing geniuses are almost soiling themselves in amusement over Barack Obama’s suggestion that Americans could significantly reduce their consumption of oil if they would merely keep their tires properly inflated.

But, in fact, properly inflated tires could save about THREE TIMES AS MUCH OIL per day as the increased production expected by the Bush administration by 2030 from expanded off-shore production.

Then, too, the tire-gauge strategy is recommended by NASCAR and by Bush’s own ENERGY DEPARTMENT and by Republican governors Charlie Crist of Florida and Arnold  Schwarzenegger of California.

But don’t tell that to the Republicans who think they’re being clever by distributing tire gauges so as to mock Obama. Of course, they also want everyone to believe that the tire strategy is the be-all and end-all of Obama’s energy policy and that he opposes new drilling for oil in America, neither of which is true.

The GOP comedians think Americans are stupid, but they’re only partly right.

Fair and balanced — and a White House tool

Well, it seems that Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity have had a prostituted PIPELINE right into the White House.

Isn’t that special!

Quick! Somebody find a photo of Barack Obama laughing at George Carlin

Ooh! This’d be tailor-made for Fox News, wouldn’t it?

If we get could only get a picture of Barack Obama enjoying the “humor” of smutty-mouthed comic George Carlin, who died over the weekend after leading a dissolute life of drugs, alcohol and disdain for all that is good and decent in America.

And let’s find the video of Carlin saying this in 2001:

“I don’t have any beliefs or allegiances. I don’t believe in this country, I don’t believe in religion, or a god, and I don’t believe in all these man-made institutional ideas…The world is a big theatre-in-the round as far as I’m concerned, and I’d love to watch it spin itself into oblivion. Tune in and watch the human adventure.”

With luck, we could put Obama on the spot for months for laughing at a man who would say such awful things.

Send a memo to Hannity, Limbaugh and the rest of the gang. Tell them that Operation Carlin starts today. This is going to be much bigger than Operation Wright. We’ll send this Obama guy back to Hawaii or whatever foreign country he’s from.

Paulists menace Fox News guy

6 comments January 8th, 2008

Fox News creature Sean Hannity, who’s even more smug than I (we’re both Irish, you know), had the misfortune of coming across a pack of Ron Paul enthusiasts up in New Hampshire the other night.

The Paulists were P.O.’d because their guy had been barred from a Fox News debate among the Republican presidential hopefuls.

I guess the folks at Fox, most of whom consider George W. Bush our finest president since Lincoln, didn’t want to hear Paul spewing any of his disparagements of Bush’s glorious war in Iraq.

Another likely factor is that Roger Ailes, the guy who runs Fox News, is very tight with Rudy Giuliani, the great hero of 9/11.

Anyway, here’s a video of the Paulists chasing after Sean Hannity:
