Rand Paul WANTS Hillary
Careful what you wish for, Dude
Link
Rand Paul again blasted Hillary for her actions — or lack of action — on Benghazi.
“They asked and pleaded for [more] security in advance, well in advance, and it was denied.
Hillary Clinton should’ve been involved. It was her job as secretary of state to be involved
with security in Libya,” Mr. Paul, a KY Republican, said on “Fox and Friends.”
“That’s exactly why I find her culpable and why I don’t think she was doing her job.
She wasn’t reading the pleas for help” from American diplomats in Benghazi, he added.
Mr. Paul has become one of the biggest dicks concerning Mrs. Clinton. The two are rumored
to be strongly considering runs for their parties’ nominations for president in 2016.
Some Democrats have accused Republicans, including Mr. Paul, of hammering Hillary
over Benghazi to damage her and make her a less viable candidate for the White House.
I don't think Rand can get the GOP nomination.
Why?
The GOP always ends up nominating someone they don't like from their Left-wing.
Romney was always a gun-grabbing, gay-loving Northeastern Liberal.
McCain was hated and mocked by the vulgar Pigboy for years.
Bush billed himself as a "uniter, not a divider" implying the GOP divided us.
Dole was a mean-spirited bastard, but he was hardly right-wing - unless he was running.
Bush the Smarter needed Dan Quayle to placate the religio-crazies.
That brings us to Reagan who was SO LIBERAL compared to today's crazy GOP.
If Reagan was an incumbent, they'd primary his sleeping ass right back to California.
So that's why Rand Paul can't be president.
He might be VP, but to whom?
If they do it like 2012, they'll bounce from one unknown loser to unknown loser
and maybe deeeep into the summer of 2016, they beg Chris Christie to get in.
But Rush the radical HATES relatively-centrist Chris Christie.
Yeah, we need a bloody (rhetorically, of course) GOP civil war.

Benghazi E-mail Altered? By Whom?
We always said it was a hoax...
Link
Was ABC News used by someone with an ax to grind against the State Department?
It looks possible. A key email in its “scoop” that the administration’s “talking points”
on Benghazi had been changed a dozen times came from White House national security
communications adviser Ben Rhodes. It seemed to confirm that the White House wanted
the talking points changed to protect all agencies’ interests, “including those of the State
Department,” in the words of the email allegedly sent by Rhodes.
But CNN’s Jake Tapper reveals that Rhodes’ email didn’t mention the State Department,
and doesn’t even seem to implicitly reference it. The email as published by Karl differs
significantly from the original obtained by Tapper.
So why didn't Obama's people say, "That e-mail was faked - not our words."
I've always liked Jay Carney, but he can't answer simple questions worth a damn.
Every word out of his mouth sounds like a team of lawyers had OK'd it,
but that's why he sounds like he's not giving us the whoile truth.
Hey Jay, why give a 200-word answer when "No" will do?

Obama Needs a Drudge
by Brent Budowsky
Link
The unprecedented influence of [Matt] Drudge is that he offers a scandal and message megaphone
to conservative media, politicians and ideas that drive the national narrative that Drudge horizontally
cross-promotes. GOP attacks rocket from Issa’s keyboard to Fox News and Drudge’s site, which
beams them outward to be repeated from “Morning Joe” to the evening news and daily newspapers.
Armies of mainstream media insiders pore over the Drudge Report like Talmudic scholars, which
arguably make Drudge the single most influential person in American media.
The insular and personally based political style of Obama works brilliantly when he is a single
candidate concentrating his full apparatus against a single opponent such as Mitt Romney, but fails
in the White House when the mission is to promote a powerful message and mobilize mass opinion
to influence the machinery of governance.
Former President Reagan understood this. His addresses to the nation, backed by his grassroots
organization and promoted by his media allies, flooded the Capitol switchboard and synchronized
his power in both campaigning and governing.
Drudge in this sense is the oldest child of Reagan. In basketball terms, Drudge is the playmaker
who gives assists to others, while Obama is the shooter who takes too many wild three-point shots
while teammates are open under the net, pleading for him to throw them the ball.
Brent, you lost me with the basketball analogies.
I mean c'mon - it's a short pants sport!
But I think the bigger problem is the Democrat are just OK about winning.
Sure, if victory knocks on their door they miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight get up and answer it,
but they damn sure aren't going to WORK as hard as Republicans to win.

Subject: Bart's double standard?
Hey, Bart. Read your site every day. We see eye to eye on many things, BUT...
You do seem to be taking it awfully personally when Shirley Manson & Gwen Stefani
choose not to dress in a conventionally "sexy" way. What, so their music is crap now?
Not sure how you make that connection.
Most people in show business try to look their best when onstage.
Plus, it's difficult to say, "You shouldn't enjoy this, you should enjoy that."
Your Paul McCartney example notwithstanding, I don't believe for a second
that you comparably judge male musicians by their appearance.
ha ha
You got that right.
Jimmy Page can wear Kerry's condom suit for all I care.
I just want to see him play live again.
You minimize the creativity of Garbage and No Doubt when your opinion of them
is disproportionately shaped by how good the frontwomen look. This is a double standard
in which women too often are judged by their appearance first, and their abilities second (if at all).
Don't you find it strange when an attractive female stage performer intentionally take steps
to make herself less appealing visually? I'm not disappointed in Shirley for getting older.
I'm saying that dressing down is unusual, if not unprecedented.
You might have to go back to Moms Mabley to find someone who
intentionally made themselves less atractive before going onstage.
I would think an ardent Hillary Clinton supporter such as yourself would recognize that.

President Passerby
When will Obama come to work?
by WaHoPo's Dana Milbank
Link
President Passerby needs urgently to become a participant in his presidency.
Late Monday came the breathtaking news of a full-frontal assault on the First Amendment by
his administration: word that the Justice Department had gone on a fishing expedition through
months of phone records of Associated Press reporters.
And yet President Obama reacted much as he did to the equally astonishing revelation on Friday
that the IRS had targeted conservative groups based on their ideology: He responded as though
he were just some bloke on a bar stool, getting his information from the evening news.
Now that Obama has learned about this extraordinary abuse of power, he’s not doing a thing about it.
“We are not involved at the White House in any decisions made in connection with ongoing criminal
investigations,” Carney argued.
Jeff Mason asked how Obama felt about “being compared to President Nixon on this.”
Carney laughed. “People who make those kinds of comparisons need to check their history,” he said.
Carney had a point there. Nixon was a control freak. Obama seems to be the opposite:
He wants no control over the actions of his administration.
Obama's presidency is in trouble and he doesn't seem to notice.
What will it take for him to come to work?

Golf Marshalls: "Eldrick Lied"
Eldrick marred by he said/he said drama
Link
Two course marshals are disputing an account from Eldrick over their involvement in a tiff
between Woods and Sergio Garcia during this weekend's Very Sleepy Championship.
Garcia blamed Eldrick for a bad shot by claiming Woods distracted him by pulling a club from his bag,
drawing noise from the crowd. Eldrick said he did not see Garcia and the course marshals gave him the OK.
Gary Anderson and John North, the marshals involved, say they said nothing to Woods one way or another.
"It's very simple," Garcia told NBC. "You have to pay attention to what's going on because the
other guy is hitting. You do something when you're in the crowd and the crowd is going to respond."
For his part, Woods accused Garcia of playing sore loser.
"It's not real surprising that he's complaining about something," said Eldrick.
But the marshals dispute Woods's claims.

Bart,
I am of the opinion that the only way to stop the "silliness" of the Southern desire
to replay the Civil War is to quit the idealizing of the Confederate Generals.
I know that I will be called all kinds of names by the Southerners, .......but Robert E. Lee
was a "Pudknocker". For crap sakes- How many died for Lee's honor? Sorry Southerners,
but Lee killed your GGGrandparents (mine also!) to protect his image of his own honor.
He is, of course, quoted as saying at the battle of Fredericksburg,
"It is a good thing that war is so terrible" as he gleefully watched the Union soldiers die.
Get over it. Lee was a Jerk!!
