Tuesday Newsquips

Newsquips news brief:  Newsquips are updated through the day.  Other blog entries may or may not appear above or below this Newsquips entry.  You may or may not understand.  I may or indeed I may not either.  I, like Dion, believe in clarity.  Thank you.

1.   Bare-Ass Bob Rae covers his butt … drops out of Party of Stability race.  May rejoin the you’ve got to be kidding party. Or form a “coalition” party.  I may not understand.

2.    image Like an obstinate teenager, Obama lies about his smoking.  Here’s a snippet of the butt end of Sunday’s Meet the Press.  Watch as he floats and dodges like a butterfly evades a kid’s net:

MR. BROKAW: Finally, Mr. President-elect, the White House is a no-smoking zone, and when you were asked about this recently by Barbara Walters, I read it very carefully, you ducked.  Have you stopped smoking?

PRES.-ELECT OBAMA: You know, I have, but what I said was that, you know, there are times where I’ve fallen off the wagon. Well…

MR. BROKAW: Well, wait a minute.

imagePRES.-ELECT OBAMA: …what can I tell…

MR. BROKAW: Then that means you haven’t stopped.

imagePRES.-ELECT OBAMA: Well, the—fair enough. What I would say is, is that I have done a terrific job under the circumstances of making myself much healthier, and I think that you will not see any violations of these rules in the White House.

MR. BROKAW: Mr. President-elect, thank you very much for being with us today.

image3.  It’s time to play our li’l game, “IMAGINE IF HE WERE A REPUBLICAN!”  …  Which he isn’t.  He is a DEMOCRAT.  Therefore, it is damn near impossible to find the word DEMOCRAT anywhere in any article about this shocking turn of events in Barack Obama’s home state, in a story directly related to Barack Obama.  They were nice enough to sound-out the name of the Gov (bluh-GOY’-uh-vich) for us but saw no need to mention his LIBERALNESSGovernor Bluh-GOY’-uh-vich is the one at our left in the photo at right.

Illinois Governor Arrested
CHICAGO (AP) — An official says Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (bluh-GOY’-uh-vich) has been arrested in Chicago on corruption charges stemming from the selection of the successor to President-elect Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat. U.S. Attorney’s office spokesman Randall Samborn says both Blagojevich and his chief of staff John Harris were arrested Tuesday. Authorities aren’t yet releasing details about those charges. However, a federal law enforcement official tells The Associated Press the governor is accused of corruption charges. The official says the charges stem from the selection process of a successor to Obama.

Even his home-town paper, the Chicago Tribune, failed to bother to inform the folks of his DEMOCRATIC PARTY membership and leadership, and only mentioned the word DEMOCRAT near the bottom of the article, where they saw fit to remind readers about Nixon and his alleged involvement in the break-in at the Democratic Party’s offices at the Watergate Hotel.  ….  The ABC News affiliate in Chicago also feign ignorance of his party affiliation.  … REUTERS surprisingly admits it right up front.  Even the far-left Democrat-luvin’ CBC and liberalvision CTV here in Canada manages to fit it into their stories, even if it is buried deep within, unlike if he were a Republican. …  National Post uses Reuters story.  Globe and Mail uses AP story but includes the word “Democrat”, as does the Toronto Star
UPDATE (10:51 AM Pacific):  On air—CTV Newsnet covers the story without mentioning his party affiliation.  … A later (11:22 AM Pacific), minutes-long, in-depth report with CTV reporter Tom Clark also craftily avoids saying the word “Democrat” even once.  …  You’re being misinformed, Canada.  This is an example of abject pro-liberal-left bias through omission of salient facts.  The story is all about politics, yet they fail to properly properly inform you of the political party directly related to the story. It’s preposterous.  IMAGINE IF IT WERE A “REPUBLICAN STORY”.

Shocker at 12:08 PM Pacific:  CBC Newsworld – on air – plainly says he’s a DEMOCRAT. 

image4.   What ever you do, don’t call him an arrogant elitist ass!  In the multiple orgasm department, Canadian news media is on #13 or so, now, as they continue to dominate ALL their main stories with their utter infatuation with anything Liberal Party or NDP or left-wing coalition or yummy socialist and “progressive” and anti-conservative.  In this exchange on liberalvision just now, the two lib-bots ruminate about how Iggy is like Trudeau and he has that fabulous SMART! and INTELLIGENT! and DID I SAY SMART! and VERY SMART! ability to talk over the heads of us mere dumb-ass Canadians, just like their yummy Pierre….mmmmbut he’s not elitist and arrogant and superior, no no.  (See screen-capture at left in which CTV reporter Jane Taber provides helpful clues with regard to how Iggy can talk over our dumb heads).  Here’s a snippet:

CTV Newsnet anchor Dan Matheson:  Now I know you talk to Liberals all the time, what kind of leader do they expect Ignatieff to be?

CTV Reporter and politics show host Jane Taber: Well I think they expect Mr. Ignatieff to be almost like a Trudeau-esque kind of Liberal—he does sort of seem to talk a little bit above us—he was quoting Aristotle the other day, in a scrum, Dan, and he’s very professorial…

They’re going to grow hair on their palms if they’re not careful. 

image 5.   Hey!  This ain’t liberal!  On CTV Newsnet this morning— Another ACTUAL EXPERT says “Canada’s economy is FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND”.  He must be some sort of idiot, am I right Liberals and you’ve got to be kidding minions and other socialists, since he said the exact thing that you mock and deride Prime Minister Harper and finance minister Flaherty saying once or twice?  Here’s exactly what he said (from which all liberals will shield their eyes):

Craig Alexander, TD Bank Financial Group:  … but when you look at the problems in the U.S. economy, they’re far more endemic to their domestic economy. I think what we need to keep in mind from a Canadian perspective is that the Canadian economy is fundamentally sound.  … So in actual fact the Canadian economy is sound, but we’re going to get hit by this external shock which will probably last until the late part of 2009 or early 2010 at which point things will start to improve…

Of course he’s not a professor, so crickies—he how could he really know? 
Sorry, I’d go on, but Bare-Ass Bob Rae is saying something, and the entire Canadian media is in his yummy liberal-left trance and has cut off news programming so as to cover his words, live, in place of anything real or salient or important….

image 6. Liberals: time for a smoke.

image  7.   I was struck by the Christmas-ness and the outright cheery happiness exuding from my latest Conservative Book Club (it’s American) email which recommended some gift ideas for Conservatives for, yes, CHRISTMAS (see left). 

So of course I sought out an equivalent suggestion of gift ideas from the “progressive” or liberal clubs or sites.  But at the top of my search results I was pointed to “Liberal Holiday Gift Ideas” like abortion gift certificates (below—and here’s the link they allude to).

image

And at the Progressive Book Club, they don’t celebrate Christmas, (un)naturally.  A word search there for “Christmas” turned up empty, as did even a search for “holiday”.  Their front page is dominated by Obama’s big grin and books about Obama. For them it’s Obamamas as we know.

8.   Went to COSTCO this afternoon.  Cashier wished me “happy holidays”.  I answered “merry Christmas”, as I’m pretty sure that’s what she was purposely avoiding saying (maybe as per instructions from very slightly higher ups); and because the only holiday coming up is Christmas.
