Drawing Out the Rats
In listening to John McCain in an interview with Hannity, it dawned on me that Fox has a unique opportunity to influence the democRATS, namely Obama and Clinton, who are avoiding the network like the plague. Look at that - plague and rats in the same sentence.
Ironically, the same party (Democrat) that from time to time hints about something called the ‘fairness’ doctrine is also led by politicians who run like chickens from, well, ‘FOX’es when it comes to dealing with Fox news. They want fairness, but not in a free market. They are well aware that Fox doesn’t “play fair” by asking hard probing questions which puts them in compromising situations. Fox asks follow up questions when you dodge the question or fail to answer it. Fox plays - um - hardball. I guess Chris Mathews is going to have to come up with a new name for his show.
Anyway- I digress, so back to the ‘idea’.
Fox has access anytime to McCain, of course. And Fox has to be careful that they don’t show favoritism to McCain, as they are somewhat required to offer “equal time”. But wait a minute! What if you are having trouble not only making the horse drink, but getting him to the water as well?
Clinton and Obama surely have been asked repeatedly to come to Fox. Any show. They dodge for the aforementioned reasons. But, Fox is NOT obligated to
Because He’s Black
Barack Obama has risen to Rock Star status. People faint at his rallies, which overshadow by thousands the rallies of Hillary Clinton. Without a doubt, the union of the two O’s, Obama and Oprah, has helped him immensely. Dealing with Hillary as an opponent is also an advantage, as she is so unlikeable. He pontificates and waxes philosophical with platitudes immensely broad enough to cover every persons desire while at the same time saying nothing about the specifics of achieving those goals. Speaking from on high with an oratorial tone, his doe eyed face scowling and rarely smiling, Barack Obama has found a formula for getting people to rally behind him… hell, I think they would carry him on a throne right now if they could.
But, it is not what is “obvious” about why some people would vote for Barrack that I am concerned with. I am more concerned with the less covered, less obvious reason why some people want to, or will, vote for him. We have heard it murmured here and there, over the months, but rarely covered. It is almost as though it is taboo…
…some will vote for Barrack because

Current NUT
The utterly BRILLIANT left wing ideologue scientist, Nobel winner, internet creator, and "Champion of the chad recount", Al Gore has once again wowed us with some more amazing feats of observation.
Gore says the most recent Myanmar tragedy, Cyclone Nargis, which claimed 200,000 lives, was the result of Global Warming.
Nice job, Nostradamus.
This has brought on a chorus of rejection from scientists worldwide that claim that NO storm could be directly attributed to either the global warming phenom OR the science... neither of which could support Gore's claims.
And this is supposed to be one of the left's "best". God help us. He could have been PRESIDENT. -
Current BOLT
The passing of Tim Russert brings to mind, for me, the importance of excellent journalism. Russert was one of the finest. While loving life, he would still grill your butt on anything that was the buzz... no free passes, and he understood that journalism was the 4th branch of the US democratic process.
Our US political process and the field of Journalism will sorely miss Tim Russert.

The most stupidest dumbest ignorantest thang I have heard from the left lately...
Paul Begala, bomb throwing liberal pundit and talk show man, recently made clear what the left truly thinks. And remember, the "left" is supposed to be the party that blacks should love and vote for.
Said Begala "We cannot win with egg heads and African-Americans. OK, that is the Dukakis Coalition, which carried ten states and gave us four years of the first George Bush."
I totally agree by the way. You cannot win with only black Americans. You CAN win with only eggheads, though...
This insinuation that African American support of Obama is the reason for Obama having ANY chance is correct. I think what Begala is saying is the same thing Clinton is saying, in a more veiled way.
And I think what Begala is trying to say is "Obama is propped up by an African American vote- and that is IT. He cannot win without it."
I agree... but I think it is a stupid to take that approach, or point out such a point of view, especially if you are a person from the party that claims (falsely) to represent the black community BEST.
