The Invisible Counterpoint

Many of you probably watched the famous Jon Stewart "smackdown" of -- in particular -- Tucker Carlson on Crossfire. I knew then that the primary crime Tucker was guilty of was possessing too much personality (his punchy bow-tie, pink shirts, buoyant, boyish hair), self-determination / initiative (he is famous for being the ostensible conservative who did the non-permissable, the treasonous, in accurately reporting the extent of Bush's "potty-mouth.") at a time when Stewart's accrued fame and true power had accumulated to the point where his maternal alter would hereafter determine his course, telling him to activate to suppress / destroy those who most closely represent his own desire for full autonomy / actualization and satisfaction. Stewart and Colbert still now strike me as the type liberals will look 
to to ensure a guilt-free purity crusade. Ostensibly, what they 
champion is sanity, reasoned discourse, but what they are against is 
uncur...

Phil Perspective but did you know that Roberts and Phillips were engaged as of three months ago? A big part of me wishes I had remained free of this information - just like I lament knowing about the CNN nuptials of John King and Dana Bash. (Glenn Grenwald, “CNN anchors attack the scourge of anonymity,” Salon, 24 July 2010) Great stuff, Glenn. Roberts and Philips are a good fit, but completely vile. I'd just wish them better things if it wasn't for all the damage they'll be up to. King and Bash are a good fit too. I like them -- I think they're mostly good, and maybe even possible future allies of yours. In any case, if I was Obama, I wouldn't want them around -- they could balk. Cheers. - - - - - Patrick McEvoy-Halston Re: “King and Bash are a good fit too.

The number one rule of American politics: the greatest, most insatiable need of the standard conservative is to turn themselves into oppressed little victims. In The Daily Beast today , Tucker Carlson devotes his entire column to complaining that Obama is "bullying" Fox News, absurdly claiming that the White House and liberals are trying "to use government power to muzzle opinions they don't agree with." Needless to say, Carlson doesn't say a word about the endless -- and far worse -- attacks by the Bush White House on a whole array of media outlets, ones that went far beyond mere criticisms. (Glenn Greenwald, “Tucker Carlson and the right’s perpetual self-victimhood,” Salon, October 23 2009) Towel smothering, to the delight of the perpetrating left. What I hear mostly is talk of the far worse efforts by Bush et al. Obama is the entranced parent calmly smothering a towel over the tantruming child.
