George Bush - John McCain : The ‘Kevin James’ of Politicians

-The Almost Daily Binx, San Jose California; by Binx101

Bush Badmouths American Political Rivals While on Foreign Soil

“… Bush read the words with little evidence in his eyes that he actually had any comprehension of their meaning …”

As astounding as it may be, disgraceful President George Bush has taken the Kevin James approach to a foreign country and thus is moving into unprecedented lower approval ratings than Richard Nixon at the height of the Watergate disgrace hearings. Not only was it frustrating to listen to him struggle with his native tongue, but to further use the 60th Anniversary of Israel, as a platform to issue criticism of American political rivals, speaks volumes to this feckless puppet leader’s contempt for dignity and his abysmally poor judgment.  Reading speeches that appear to be penned by Neocon political assassins, Bush mouthed the words with little evidence in his eyes that he actually had any comprehension of their meaning; often tipped off by his inconsistent facial expressions that seem oddly misplaced.

McCain - More Time Traveling

“… in another time traveling experience had previously criticized the Bush Administration for not sitting down and talking with Hamas …”

The echo chorus from career lobbyist, Sen. John “Loop Hole” McCain was no surprise, yet in stark contrast to one of his previously flipped positions.  That is to say,  McCain tripped over his own contradictory position while rushing to capitalize on Bush’s, somewhat treasonous blunder.  Clearly trying to legitimate his Obama / Hamas comments - “Loop Hole” began nodding in assent at any opportunities yesterday and today to hammer Obama.  While still unclear if he began doing it again today because he forgot he addressed it yesterday - staffers have purportedly been helping the struggling ‘time traveler’ with the actual facts.  Not unlike fellow neocon water carrier, Kevin James, McCain is always willing to volunteer a resounding opinion, irrespective of whether he has any clue of the subject matter; providing he can work in some anti-Obama sentiment.  The record however shows that McCain, in another time traveling experience had previously criticised the Bush administration for not sitting down and talking with Hamas, among other rival governments in the Middle East.

Dana Perino - Carries the Torch Back Home

“… she glared at the Press Corps with Kevin James eyes.”

In a typical press conference, that seem more like a ’smirk-offs’ these days, Dana Perino, with shrugged shoulders and incredulous gesturing, tried to convince the American press that Bush’s disgusting words, suggesting the some Americans were akin to Nazi appeasers, specifically should be understood to exclude Barack Obama.  As though offering this piece of illogic was not enough, she went on to accuse those criticising the President’s offensive remarks, as the politicizers of record, as she glared at the Press Corps with Kevin James eyes.

KRLA’s Kevin James : The Anatomy of Idiocy

-San Jose California, The Almost Daily Binx; by Binx101,

Overview

This story is brief, because the subject of this story,  Kevin James the quintessential idiot, reveals his essence immediately - out of the gate.  A neocon’s nightmare come true, this ranting imbecile becomes almost uncommunicative and backs himself into a corner by having a conversation with two relatively smart guys, while quoting the Nation’s leading idiot - George Bush.  Additionally, he is deranged.

There is a video below.

Secondly, let’s eliminate any confusion about Kevin James.

It’s not this one:  He’s a successful and funny comedian with a syndicated TV Show under his belt.

Here’s the second rate neocon from LA with less brains than a mailbox and more hate than a junkyard dog

Anatomy 1-2-3

Step One: Accept a Booking to Provide Commentary to Boost Your Ratings

What a mistake if you don’t know what you’re talking about.  Apparently, Mr. James only talks … and has no ability to listen or reason.  He is the absolute epitome of a neocon information puppet.  He opens with a repetitious and unkind tirade about Barack Obama - surprise !!

Step Two:  Lose Your Mind and Keep Talking

It’s incredible, as though he didn’t even understand English.  If this were not live television it would have seemed as though it were a spoof.  He was without self-control and apparently not in possession of a GED from a correspondence school.

Step Three:  Continue to talk over the host

And, continue to prove that you  and the person that hired you should be fired with you.  Make sure by the time your finished … everyone knows that you are a paid propagandist so that they can consider boycotting KRLA and it’s sponsors.  We are.

Camp Hillary: That was Then - This is Now

- San Jose California, The Almost Daily Binx -13 May 2008; by Binx101;

Terry McAuliffe - Political Yahtzee

“We picture his morning excercise to include fifteen minutes of “You lookin’ at me ??”

In moves of desperation, seasoned with some B-movie theatrics, the Hillary Clinton Campaign is looking for a political do-over.  This is accomplished by ignoring reality and floating out the possibility of Barack Obama having a ‘Bill O’Reilly’ moment in public melt-down, beating his children while robbing a bank. Now, bring out a holiday post-meal favorite - Yahtzee !!!  Of course if this analogy were to be a bit more complete … it would include the fact that in this case - there’s been no meal.  Just Yahtzee.

And what Yahtzee it is … as everyone watches … the HRC team rolls ones, but fills in sixes; then they roll twos and fill in fives. But the fun part is, everyone is watching.  Directly to the point - we believe Terry McAuliffe has a life altering bonus at stake - and has decided that his prize is more important than acknowledging the truth, doing the right thing or the entire health of the Democratic Party.  We don’t know what it is, but his once pleasant smiling face has been replaced with gambler’s worried look and an aspiring mobster’s glare.  We picture his morning exercise to include fifteen minutes of “You lookin’ at me ?? Eh? You lookin’ at me???” in a spittle covered mirror.

Going for Broke - The Next Career?

“… collective of policies of the Hillary Clinton campaign should be of grave concern to supporters and precursor to the high likelihood of this behavior carrying on into a Clinton presidency.”

But the real meat on the bone - is the fact that Terry McAuliffe, seems to be unfamiliar with his own words (cick-here), (as head of the Democratic National Committee) sternly warning Michigan that there delegates would not be ’seated’ under any circumstances, if they attempted to move up their primary and violate the rules, four years ago.  In fact, these were not just words, but rather they were threats, to Senator Carl Levin (D-MI.) McAuliffe seems to ignore reality when confronted with his own unwavering position and continues speaking as though he didn’t hear, read - or -in fact write his own contradiction to his current position on behalf of Hillary.

We’re not quite sure what the potential upside is for McAuliffe, but we feel safe to assume that the prize for his public self-destruction and career suicide is a stream of Murdoch book deals and a five year contract with FOX News.  A company, by the way that McAuliffe has been publicly praising and courting, in another mind-boggling reversal of attitude.  In addition, we feel that this “kitchen sink” and “anything goes” collective of policies of the Hillary Clinton campaign should be of grave concern to supporters and precursor to the high likelihood of this behavior carrying on into a Clinton presidency.

The Resiliance of Wile E. Coyote

“… an Obama presidency would serve to unravel the very network of corrupt Democratic politics that has shielded many …”

Any fan of the Road-Runner cartoons remembers two things.  The Road-Runner always wins, and Wile E. Coyote never quits.  It doesn’t matter what the cost, what the danger or the obvious reality. The coyote is driven beyond the realm of reality, beyond the limits of physical abuse and beyond the limits of any public good … covering roads with debris, causing mine shafts to collapse … and sending missiles in the air with a disregard for when they miss their target.

While McAuliffe, is clearly auditioning for his next job, although it is highly unlikely it will be in Democratic politics, Hillary has passed up the opportunity to make a difference in any form in future, because of the tenor of her campaign and the obvious refusal to acquiesce to the inspirational candidate, the youthful candidate and the non-collateralized candidate.  Of course the danger to Clinton, is that an Obama presidency would serve to unravel the very network of corrupt Democratic politics that has shielded many of the dinosaurs from public scrutiny.

Obama White House : Antidote for Neo Conservative Contract on Americans

The Almost Daily Binx - San Jose, CA

The Setting

“… porked up Democrats made good eat’n …”

It was nearly 14 years ago, that former Speaker of House Newt Gingrich (R, GA), conservative operative, led the charge (with a Falwell-esque flurry of misinformation) in order to distract Americans from the ultimate end game and whip up public dissatisfaction with Democrats; who, riding on the coattails of Bill Clinton’s popularity, sat comfortably back on their heels and miscalculated their ability to fend off political attacks from the sitting position.

Not only did Democrats nearly invite the attack, but in many cases, the lumbering Democratic, pork-proud politicians fell under their own weight and invited the slaughter.  It was hunting time for those with growing appetite for tasty Democrats. Fattened up nicely and as easy to catch as box turtles, the porked up Democrats made good eat’n whether slow roasted as the Clintons, or served rare,  on a skewer sitting on a bed of House Ethics Complaints, as was former Speaker of the House Jim Wright, as Gingrich worked the Minority Whip, fanning the flames in the House.

The Circumstances

“Gingrich … he was driven, albeit, the Democratic leadership were lazy sitting ducks, but Bill Clinton would be the ultimate gift that kept on giving.”

Even life-long Democrats were tired of career doormen posing as legislators at what seemed like the biggest private club in the world. Congress.  And so, much of the electorate felt that change would be good.  Now the stage was set.  Democratic legislators were drunk with power,  POTUS could be easily distracted by a well formed ‘babe’ or finely adorned pizza. But mostly, public sentiment would be caught off guard and the corporate media would spin the Republican temporary shut down of the government as Democratic foot dragging, instead of Republican retaliation.

In retrospect, irrespective of the truth surrounding the power-play, it elevated the presiding Republicans to the level of public activists. Further, assisted by Roger Ailles pet propagandist - the corpulent drug addict, Rush Limbaugh, as Gingrich executed his plan with precision.  From the moment Gingrich replaced newly appointed Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, as minority whip in 1989,  until he obliterated the self-absorbed Democratic majority in the House - he was driven, albeit, the Democratic leadership were lazy sitting ducks, but Bill Clinton would be the ultimate ‘gift that kept on giving.’

The Message

“… among Neocon propagandists, it was not only pure theatre and puff, but curiously written in the code of white supremacists.”

Key though, throughout the assault on Democrats, was a singularly disturbing undertone, equating support for the Democratic party and/or Liberalism in general, as distinctly anti-American.  This undertone has taken root in our society - whereby even the corporate media has adopted a lexicon that assisted in the conversion of the American lexicon.  While a key instrument in the overall set-up, a theatrical play to the emotions of the  American people to demand change - the play only included the Brutus moment’s, never a peep from a Democratic ‘Marc Antony’ in the form of a “Brutus is an Honorable Man” speech.   Thus, Democrats walked into their shallow graves, following dyslectic and mostly incoherent party orders, and lied down while the hijackers of the Republican party threw dirt over them and with the credo of the coup. ‘The Contract with America’ would soon be recognized as The Contract on America, on Freedom, on the Constitution and on Truth.  Most of the contract, never came to pass, although it is revered as the document of a defining moment, among Neocon propagandists, it was not only pure theatre and puff, but curiously written in the code of white supremacists.

The Scam

“… the Exterminator - Tom Delay - would soon be unleashed in the House,”

Any fan of ‘film noir’ or classic mystery novels knows that crimes typically have victims that are key characters.  In the case of bunko though, the ideal victim is lulled into complacency, lured by confederates or simply led into compliance by his own dim wits.  We Americans rushed to casting call and got the part of the victim en masse.  We tuned in, turned up, and turned in droves.  Invoking the popular presidency of Ronald Reagan long after his tenure, became the battle cry, as though George H. W. Bush, hadn’t even existed, or  for that matter, presided over one of the finest made-for-TV Wars, with essentially no casualties other than the US Treasury and the increasing Military Industrial complex stake-holder’s taste for profits. Branded a liar by his own party for raising taxes to pay for the war he and James Baker (both protagonist and Secretary of State) had started, infuriated Neo Con operatives in the Republican party and exposed the beginnings of the coup.  But no one was watching.  The Patsy was just beginning to get the treatment, particularly when the Congressional Crayon box was recaptured - new lines could be drawn and the Exterminator - Tom Delay - would soon be unleashed in the House, long before facing the legal charges he now faces as a former US Congressman and current raconteur.

The Collaborators

“… the American Dream of a Christian Nation that tolerates Jews and  possibly some other helpful minorities.”

Essentially, Democrats willing to play along were not only given the opportunity to exist, but to actually flourish.  Republicans were merely the vehicle of the coup, select Democrats from the entrenched old school party were invited to participate.  Indeed their speeches would be castrated, their votes would be relied upon when necessary and their political power would remain unchallenged so long as they became bi-partisan examples in the Congressional reach around that was mostly out of view.  This was not at all what it seemed. It was for the most part a collaboration with forces that were far more dangerous than any of the unconscious taking up space in Congress would ever realize, as they were hypnotized with the power of pork  At the same time they were helping the Neocons begin the the shredding of the US Constitution, bit by bit.  It would be years later though, that Presidential impostor George W. Bush, would blatantly brag about the powerful shredders and how they were good for the American Dream of a Christian Nation that tolerates Jews and  possibly some other helpful minorities.

Today

“… blindly comply with the teachings of a self-appointed “religious” leader (the small ‘c’ “christians” version of a ‘Mullah’”

The rancor of the “Contract with America” has long subsided.  What is left are the remnants, the victims and  a “juiced-up” hate machine that quite often declares it is a Christian movement.  That is to say, alleges they are a Christian movement, and not unlike their fundamentalist brothers and sisters, alleging themselves to be religious Islam, they are terrorists.  Homegrown, cultivated, and disturbed terrorists.  What we like to refer to as small “c” christians,  preaching hate-of-things they dislike;  and, preaching hate-of-people who don’t agree with them.  There is no talking, only slogans or shouting.  There is no reason, only conformity.

They preach of their work, preventing dangerous Liberals from taking hard earned American-worker’s wealth and “converting” it by redistributing it among those that are merely freeloaders. Then sometime before, during or after the elaborate multi-media revivals, they convince droves, of these very same Americans, to voluntarily line up and convert large sums of their money into the small “c” christian non-profit corporate coffers.  Freely and enthusiastically the downtrodden repeat praise for a God that has as much to do with the corporate fund-drive that they have just contributed, as He does with someone’s decision to blow their own brains out.  They pretend that they understand what religious scholars have failed to comprehend as they blindly comply with the teachings of self-appointed “religious” leaders (the small ‘c’ “christians” version of a ‘Mullah’) as they curse the ignorance and bloodshed of Shia and Sunni barbarism.

Tomorrow

“The Nomination of Barack Obama for Democratic Candidate for President, will change the national discussion.”

There is great hope for the United States.  Perhaps the Age of Reason will meet the Age of Reality as youthful Americans organize to solve the problems a bloated and selfish generation or two before them created by looting the American treasury and stuffing their mouths with more than they could possbly swallow in one hundred life-times.

Obama spoke of volunteers and has a campaign, that considerably under the radar - has obliterated and essentially blind-sided the fattest of the Democratic old network.  The network, that is, that assisted the Neocon coup of the Republican party and the obfuscation of critical facts from the eyes of the American electorate, thus aiding and abetting actual acts of treason.  While the Republicans are largely acknowledging that they are disadvantaged, they still have a hypnotic hold on a great number of Americans that suffer from a National plight - Hubris.

Obama has taken control of the Democratic party despite the threats of the true party purse string elite.  Hillary Clinton, is the last chance that the coup of American National Government, and the Contract with America propaganda have to survive.  That isn’t to say that Hillary Clinton herself is a bad person, but she is definitely a Democrat with a foot dangerously dangling in compliance of the NeoCon agenda by her deep connection to the corrupt Democratic machine hold-overs.  Perhaps its Stockholm Syndrome and perhaps it’s her Republican roots - but Hillary Clinton’s camp is the camp of the porkers that applauded while Americans have been abused and bullied by policies that they were unable or unwilling to prevent.  The Democrats that were so corrupt, that they cowered while an exterminator from Texas with the scruples of gutter snipe, ate their lunch, stole their toys, and took their bus-fare while they sat quivering in the Congressional sandbox.

The Nomination of Barack Obama for Democratic Candidate for President, will change the national discussion.  He’s proved it by not responding in the methods of the Hillary Old School Democratic desparate attacks.  He’s proven it by assuming ostensible control of the party with his team-building spirit and positive mention.  He’s proven it by speaking directly to issues.  And, he’s proved it by looking the threatening Old School Democratic and Republican Corruption Machines straight in their collective eyes and saying - “Not this time!”

Although we shudder to think at what the remnants of the Power Brokers will look like - we think they’ll be drawn to sing in the choir anyway.

Democrats Unite : Rachel Maddow’s Points to Ponder

Talking Heads Disagree with Rachel Maddow at MSNBC - We Don’t

“… at the very least, those stones may be very useful in a battle with the ideologues.”

Everyone saw the stats last night … everyone sees the talking heads drawing up battle plans for next barrage of info-tainment.  While the math is omnipresent, Maddow persisted that Clinton’s game is not over yet.  We think it’s wise to consider her position. There are 3 major points to consider:

1. Clinton Campaign, significant personal debt to Clinton  - While 5 Million sounds like a drop in the bucket for Hillary - it truly isn’t.  Just start moving the decimal points to place that you feel comfortble with and tell us if you still don’t consider the amount worthy of protecting.  Any thoughts of this being inconsequential are simply ludicrous.  It is noteworthy that most Americans can’t conceive themselves earning that amount of money no less making decisions about that sum.  Nonetheless, its a real issue for Clinton for a number of reasons - not the least of which, is Hillary’s ability to raise money in NY for re-election to the Senate, should that door remain open.
2. Dropping out to appease party powers is nice talk, but is it politically sound. There are still areas of the Country that haven’t voted yet - does the process now impose Super-delegates before the fact?? What would happen if Barack Obama lost to Hillary Clinton in remaining states - wouldn’t that be a tool for Republicans to further capitalize on divisions in the Democratic Party ??
3. Should Clinton by forced to drop out further disenfranchising her supporters? We think deals have to be struck and politics at the precinct level needs to be considered. Hillary deciding and being forced by political rainmakers are to entirely different political constellations.  Campaign tactics aside, Hillary Clinton commands a significant political machine and while she has never been our preference, her significant position was crafted with many different stones, and at the very least, those stones may be very useful in a battle with the ideologues.

Battles Ahead with Sinister Forces - Complacency is Deadly

“… into the darkness that the Bush Administration has tricked our Nation into believing is the “good life.”

Remember those ideologues that the Democratic Party is fighting are the ones that hijacked and transformed the Republican Party into a shameful ‘corporatism’ machine that would have impassioned Benito Mussolini to lie prostrate in majesty.  These are truly sinister forces that have gutted our Justice Department; infiltrated administrative departments that have been generally apolitical, into campaign adjuncts.  The State Department has been headed by a political appointee with no diplomatic experience, that further alienated the bulk of the professional diplomatic corps and forced them to chose sides or chose career change.

So while we’re tuning in our TV sets or talking up politics, keep in mind that this battle has just begun.  Let’s treat our embattled with respect and as quickly as we can - prove - that we have learned from history and put the party differences as secondary to our goal.  Secondary to our collective passion for “feel good.”  Secondary to any personal umbrage we may feel for any of the candidates.  We need to move forward with enough momentum to prevent any further backslide into the darkness that the Bush Administration has tricked our Nation into believing is the “good life.”

Maddow was Making a Plea for Propriety

“… happy-meal of par-boiled platitudes …”

As we could see last night, Maddow was trying to explain the potential mindsets and considerations ahead for the Democratic contenders.  While no one on the set shared her perspective, we feel it was an important one.  We feel it was that of a critical thinker considering the options, alternatives and cause and effect of decisions from this point forward - without the benefit of a large screen display - but by using considerable vision and perception in understanding the sensitivities that motivate the political paradigm.

While she’s relative newcomer to the scene we think she offers a valuable distraction from the happy-meal of par-boiled platitudes and re-statement  that is delivered by the millionaire club of info-tainers (some former journalists.)  We’re very impressed.

Tim Russert : ‘Misspeaks’ Galore

- 4 May 2008, The Almost Daily Binx, San Jose, CA; by Binx101

As Though it Were

“… only asking the tough questions of the Bush administration when it wasn’t actually news worthy any more.”

Sunday mornings always used to include Meet the Press in our home, long before Russert came to town.  As a kid I started watching it when Lawrence Spivak* hosted it.  About a year ago, long into Russert’s tenure, we have opted to watch it occasionally but mostly not at all.  Today’s lure was Barack Obama.  We’ve watched sporadically in the recent past, but we’re likely to tune in when the show includes those that have distinguished themselves with public service.

MTP lost any value to my family when they lost their spine, their will to exist, their purpose.  We found that most indelibly represented when they began waving the flag and only asking the tough questions of the Bush administration when it wasn’t actually news worthy any more.  In fact, when everyone had caught their breath and worked out their story.

We believed that they were performing - theater, if you will, and we didn’t have the stomach to watch any longer.  We also sold some stocks that were advertising on the show after writing letters to the corporate giants that buoy the show with their institutional ads and not receiving a single reply.  It was the same experience we had with NBC News, so … we took our business elsewhere.  We actually go out of our way to not buy products that are featured on the show - sure - its absurd, but it makes us feel better.

* After publishing this story we learned that Lawrence Spivak passed away on 3 May 2008 - RIP

Russert and Many NBCers Makes Material Misstatements - Routinely

“… the continuous hum of inaccuracy and misleading statements …”

We will presumptively exonerate Rachel Maddow and David Shuster as a matter of principle. Today’s was the one though that gets us crazy.   He’s done it a number of times and some, not all, of his colleagues in the MSNBC cadre do the same thing.  He referred to Barack Obama as a candidate for President.

This is patently untrue.  It may be the wish of these alleged luminaries, but if any political science student made that statement in a paper - they would be looking at a failing grade.  Failing because it decries a greater misunderstanding of our system and its detail.  Something that Russert is allegedly an expert - or why else would he be Washington DC bureau chief.

Barack Obama is competing for the privilege of being the Democratic candidate.  He is not the candidate yet. Plain and simple.  Poly Sci 101. We feel very strongly that the continuous hum of inaccuracy and misleading statements, that sometimes are later edited or amplified, are an enormous disservice to the public good and if not for organizations such as Media Matters, we may never understand the rot in our electorate that these misstatements contribute.

We respectfully submit that as Americans we must demand something different of News Agencies as we do commentators.  This column is commentary.  Tim Russert is the Washington DC Bureau Chief for NBC News.  He should not be permitted ‘misspeaks’ without officially losing his authority to continue to make them.  While we aren’t suggesting a public whipping, we do highly recommend something that would protect the public, no less than a department of health warning on a eatery with one too many cockroaches.

Political Round-up : Lowdown on the High Points

- 3 May 2008, The Almost Daily Binx, San Jose,CA; by Binx101

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“… he found the spotlight irresistible and commenced shooting at his feet …”

A group of supporters were still critical of Barack Obama for appearing on FOX News with Chris Wallace on Sunday.  However, it seems that Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the center of a controversy, has managed to steal the ultimate spot light and transform his life’s work into little more than potential recurring characters on future episodes of “South Park,” and possibly America’s newest icon for “insane”.

Reverend Wright, upon accepting Barbara Reynolds’ (a vociferous Clinton supporter) invitation to speak at the National Press Club performed what appeared to be ’stand-up.’ While he may have thought this was an opportunity to clear his name … he found the spotlight irresistible and commenced shooting at his feet and dancing to avoid injury, thus providing the corporate media with another 60 minutes of material in which to document the Pastor committing professional suicide by becoming a statistic in the National register of  ‘WTF?’

Play It Again Sam …

“… Vieira felt compelled to offer each interrogative with a painful grimace …”

Michelle and Barack Obama also sat for an interview with Meredith Vieira on NBC’s today show.  While the Obamas’ performance was considerate and patient, it is the opinion of The Almost Daily Binx, that a Coffee Vending machine could have performed better than Vieira.   She articulated a script that didn’t account for the Obamas’ complete answers - thus rendering her follow up questions (which she didn’t have the professional chops to edit on the fly) sounding as though she wasn’t listening to the answers she had just been given.

As we understand that Nielsen Demographics insist that this was still well over the relevant IQ average of daytime television viewership - it would have been thoughtful to edit Vieira’s interview by eliminating the redundancy or completely less painful if they had just eliminated Vieira.  We’re still mystified as to why she felt compelled to offer each interrogative with a painful grimace.  Was she emoting the severity of her consternation with answering the same question over and over?

Hillary Chief Strategist at Casting Call

“… McAuliffe lost his mind … screaming thank you … to FOX News …”

Early voting in Indiana appears to be favoring Barack Obama over opponent Hillary McCain Clinton.  Obama is looking for victories in both Indiana and North Carolina in order to completely reverse the effects of McCain’s Clinton’s predicted win recently in Pennsylvania.  It was one day later that Terry McAuliffe lost his mind and began auditioning for FOX News as a paid analyst, presumably as soon as Clinton bows out of the race.  He was last seen screaming thank you to any cameras and microphones in range, to FOX News for their ‘fair and balanced’ coverage of McCain Clinton, Rush Limbaugh and the Republican’s hopeful for Democratic nominee.

The quid pro quo of the ramifications of  lying with dogs was never so apparent as has been the comfort with the McCain Clinton camp in making new allies in the Republican equivalent of the former Soviet Union’s News Agency / Propaganda Network.  Another small omen.

John McCain and Hillary McCain Clinton Sing a Duet

“… their lack of understanding the devastating ramifications of their proposals is merely a glimpse into the future …”

Both presumed Republican Presidential Candidate , and Democratic Nominee contender have again agreed to propose an essentially overt act of typical political distraction, by offering the Nation a small and limited suspension of the national gas surcharge.  This surcharge goes directly to the Department of Transportation super-fund which employs tens of thousands of Americans in pursuit of repairing Interstate routes and transportation infrastructure in all 50 United States.

We believe that that the ‘quick fix’ mentality of both McCain and McCain Clinton would inspire them to recommend a fix that would thrust untold numbers of Americans out of work in order to seem as though they were being assertive in larceny that they proclaim as energy policies.  The shallowness and the lack of depth in their recommendations and their lack of understanding the devastating ramifications of their proposals is merely a glimpse into the future, should either of these political porkers be successful in reaching Presidential office.

John McCain Diagnosis : PTD - Puppet Tendon Disorder

28 April 2008, The Almost Daiy Binx, San Jose, CA; by Binx101

Don’t Shoot the Messenger

” … it doesn’t seem that he actually believes the words he speaks.”

There’s no question in any reasonable person’s mind, that there is something wrong with John McCain.  Not just wrong in the sense that he has an empty vagueness in his eyes.  There are number of reasons for that including sleep deprivation and constant traveling.  Private corporate jets may have certain advantages but constant travel is still no picnic.  Circumvention of Senate and Election rules with respect to improperly reporting his rides on wife Cindy’s plane notwithstanding - the pace is tough for Senator John “Loop-Hole” McCain and we think he deserves the benefit of the doubt.  That is to explain the emptiness in his eyes.

As for the emptiness in his words, we suggest that his puppeteers have been trying to change his lines at a pace that is not commensurate with his ability to incorporate them in a worn series of platitudes and talking points.  When he says that Barack Obama doesn’t understand the poor -because he’s opposed to paying them off for a 2 month suspended federal gas tax -

But for that matter did Howdy Doody actually understand the words of Buffalo Bob ???

Did Kukla, Fran and Ollie actually have an equal understanding of the dialogue ???

Isn’t it safe to believe that Jerry Mahoney and Knuckle-head Smith did not necessarily understand the words that Paul Winchell provided their wooden lips???

It truly seems as though John McCain doesn’t believe the words he speaks.  Perhaps, it would be more precise to say that it seems he doesn’t understand the words he appears to mouth.  We all saw Independent Joe Liebermann feeding him and correcting him on the talking points in Iraq.  We’ve heard him confuse Shia and Sunni, while clearly not understanding the intricacies of dozens of other violent special interests in the area.  And we’ve listened to him when he flies-by-wire and “my friends” his staff is all nail biting and rocking horses until he stops talking, scrambling to write explanations for his latest gaffes.

The Rapport of the Puppet and Master

“… he’s never had to buy health insurance. “

We submit that the problem is not necessarily John McCain, but perhaps a division in the people that pull the strings and feed the lines.

Certainly, John McCain can’t claim to have a better working knowledge of the poor than the former inner-city activist Obama ? If one factors in the Budweiser Beer Demographics available to him (”Loop-Hole”), we think even in an Ashcroft type semi-coma, McCain couldn’t possibly suggest a leg up on the downtrodden data ??

While certainly he (”Loop-Hole”) can speak volumes on Government provided health-care (John McCain has never had a job other than to work for government and have his salary paid for by taxpayers. While he has received millions of dollars from lobbyists, corporations and special interests, he has never worked in the private sector) he’s never had to buy health insurance.  He’s never, been poor.  He’s always been the pasty white son of an Admiral, later adopting a cowboy nick-name.

So why the odd behavior? 

Why the illogical arguments?

What caused the shift in talking point details?

We believe this will be answered in the current weeks when the press focuses on the shifts in the powersbehind the curtain.  The entangled web of strings that control movements of the campaign. The sudden shift into policies ostensibly designed to distract the eletorate from the actual inconsistencies of John “Loop-Hole” McCains record.  A record of more about-faces than a typical Navy Drill Team practice.  If only it were tendonitis.  We don’t fear John McCain - but we are very suspicious of the origin of the puppeteers that operate him.

Obama - Close the Deal? Journo-tainers Stir the Pot

- 25 April 2008, The Almost Daily Binx, San Jose, CA; by Binx101

“… played into the GOP’s hands by dividing and self-conquering. “

Popular television and cable news Journo-tainer Chris Matthews offered what he considered, solid sage advice for Barack Obama  at the close of Thursday’s edition of MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews.  We respectfully submit that Matthews needs to bone up a little on his political science and his reading comprehension.  He proposed that Obama would be taken more seriously if he shifted his conversation to taking on McCain and showing what a fighter he can be, just like Hillary.

We demur, despite Matthews’ popularity as a TV Journo-tainer, we respectfully submit that he’s once again fallen off-the-wagon and is making news instead of commenting on it, by manufacturing facts that aren’t facts.  The Democratic nomination process is still underway and as far as we can see - the divisions in the Democratic Party are causing the actual nomination process to be prolonged while they disenfranchise party supporters and have played into the GOP’s hands by dividing and self-conquering.  Barack Obama needs to take on Hillary in exactly the way he is - and the national figures will still favor him - despite the Clinton propaganda machine and “new math.”

“… drive-by paint-ball currently passing for journalism”

Obama isn’t Hillary, and apparently he does not find her style appealing or helpful.  However, we are certain, that if Hillary had determined that Obama’s style, as it were, could be helpful, she’d drop the screeching and nervous laugh and be enrolled in “cool” lessons faster than she was just heard invoking “Noth Caylina,” with her newly re-polished Pennsylvanian, New Yorkish, Ohioan, Arkansan drawl.

Matthews further conflated the facts when suggested that there were three(3) people running for President.  While we acknowledge the corporate Media elite (pardon the expression) would be gleeful for such an opportunity, the simple fact remains that the only person currently running for president - is John McCain.  The Democratic opponent has yet to be determined.  While a three (3) person race might be the corporate journo-tainers’ equivalent of a big-game safari, fully stocked with drugged animals for them to shoot it remains impossible.  For the time being  we’ll continue to suffer the drive-by paint-ball currently passing for journalism. (We do concede that Matthews certainly does understand but struggles to present the facts cogently in fulfillment of his corporate obligation to provide a boat load of fans and carloads of manure in which to hit them.)

“Obama, has not wavered very far from his message of hope.”

Barack Obama is not running for President.  He’s running to be the Democratic nominee.  There is a considerable difference in the latitude provided under the pretense of each.  There is limited opportunity to challenge John McCain while he’s seeking the nomination.  His opponent is Hillary Clinton.  She’s chosen to go for the nomination in what we consider,  the politics of the darkest Democratic past.  Obama, has not wavered very far from his message of hope.

Hillary Clinton has mocked hope as a dementia of the masses, mere wishful thinking and promised hard fisted fighting.  Barack Obama has repeated that citizens will make the difference and their involvement, while Hillary has either mocked his words or opted to incorporate them as needed.  Hillary has a huge corporate machine and Obama has a political machine that ostensibly has risen from grass roots humble beginnings

“Hillary never fails to deliver a completely balanced assortment of demographically nutritious emotions …”

One Clinton characteristic that is amplified by the lengthened primary is that she is by far a reliable and predictable pit-bull of political ambition.  Her focus is unwavering, her ability to attack and fight is admirable.  Admirable in the sense of a guard-dog, but not particularly admirable in the sense of one who is required to pilot a ship of State. One that is admirable in the sense of performing the same trick in a reliable fashion, but not particularly admirable in the ability to represent sensibilities of the shamefully abused middle-class that has been all but stomped out of existence. Stomped that is by the destructive and distracting politics that the Clinton once shunned, but now embraces.

Her demeanor is reflective of the task.  In small community settings she is soft and even lachrymal, yet when counted on to deliver a forceful message she can be Stalinesque, particularly in her gesticulation  and hand gesturing to the Heavens with authority.  Sometimes, listening to her range of emotions, we are carried off in thought to fond memories of the High School Drama Club’s endless hours in preparation of Thurber Carnival.  If nothing else, a mixed bag of emotion as  Hillary never fails to deliver a completely balanced assortment of demographically nutritious emotions selected by the Madame and her Maitres De campaign.

“While their … political affiliation is the same, their leadership style  … from this point is likely to be incredibly divergent. “

Conversely, Obama is generally consistent, but unless he’s delivering a speech that will carry 27 news cycles, the Journo-tainers are crushed.  Take the recent PA Primary concession speech.  In what period of time, in what election has any candidate been criticized for a concession speech being lack-luster?  That’s precisely the consensus the corporate media agreed to this past week.  Hillary, was covered in laissez-faire splendor even though her speech contained at least a dozen factual misrepresentations.  Hey, we’re just paraphrasing Pat Buchanan or Howard Fineman, and it isn’t limited to them.  These are no longer solely Journo-tainers, they have become political theatre critics commenting on what we can only imagine they perceive as fiction.

Chris Matthews’ and his colleagues (with the exceptions of Eugene Robinson and Rachel Maddow)  seem unclear that most of America sees Barack Obama as running against Hillary Clinton for the nomination.  While their general political affiliation is the same, their leadership style and ultimate direction from this point is likely to be incredibly divergent.  The differences in health care is minimal, but these are health care programs that were meant to familiarize the public with theory.  There is no health plan yet. Certainly not one that’s ready to be published, yet they talk about the differences in Health plans that are nothing more than smoke right now and simply meant to pass election muster.  While we have great affection for the Edwardses, they aren’t helping right now.   There is a Democratic primary going on, and while time may be of the essence, they were instructed to sit this round out by the electorate.
