Should ABC have Andrew Breitbart doing political commentary election night?

ABC has announced that right wing blogger Andrew Breitbart will be offering political insight election night. Breitbart is the blogger that released a portion of Shirley Sherrod’s NAACP speech to the media this spring and set off a firestorm. He was condemned for theis act by people on the left and the right. My question is should Breitbart be on the ABC panel Election Night? Tell me what you think.

Should Kendrick Meeks Quit the Race?

This morning Kendrick Meeks made the rounds on the morning show. His statement was the same “I’m not quitting this race.” Last night CNN was reporting that Meeks was going to quit and throw his support behind Charlie Crist. Let us not forget Crist is the former Republican turned Independent who if elected is expected to caucus with the Democrats. So today we heard denials from former President Clinton who said “I didn’t ask Kendrick to leave the race, nor did Kendrick say that he would. I told him that how he proceeds was his decision to make and that I would support him regardless.”* The White House has really kept its distance from Meeks. During the 2008 election Meeks and his mother were staunch Hillary Clinton supporters and some wounds take a long time to heal. One of my frequent readers said imagine the outcry if a Republican former president asked a black candidate to quit running. This story has garnered sufficient press but Clinton still come off looking good not sinister. According to the polls Meeks can’t win, but he believes he can. The Democrats are scampering because the believe Mark Rubio is too extreme, and he will probably win. Maybe if the President had actually intervened and talked to Meeks instead of a chorus of surrogates he might have stepped aside for the good of the party, but now Meeks probably says what has the party done for me? The answer would probably be not much.

Did Chicago Pastors sell out their congregations for $500?

The Democratic Machine is just not like it used to be. Illinois Gov. Quinn and Senate hopeful Alexi Giannoulias are running behind their Republican opponents. President Obama is going to Illinois Saturday to try to firm up support. Usually black ministers will line up for the Democratic Party but in this strange election season some of the ministers seem to be hearing a different drum. “On Wednesday, 12 local pastors came together to publicly endorse Scott Lee Cohen, the Independent in the race. The millionaire pawnbroker has contributed $6 million of his own money to his campaign for governor. That has fueled rumors that Cohen is buying black support. Last week, the Rev. Gregory Lee told CBS-2 that one of Cohen’s supporters told him that he would get at least $500 if he publicly backed Cohen.” So did these ministers have fundamental problems with the Democratic candidates or are they more like Judas than Jesus?

Christine O’Donnell’s One Night Stand?

The Gawker.com published a story from an anonymous source claiming to have had a one night stand with Christine O’Donnell. “The piece, entitled I Had a One Night Stand with Christine O’Donnell, was published on the site on Thursday, and concerned the events of an evening three years ago, when the author claimed O’Donnell, an acquaintance, had turned up at his home in Philadelphia and asked if she could change into her Halloween outfit – a ladybird. After persuading the unnamed author and his roomate to accompany her for drinks, O’Donnell had reportedly stayed the night in the man’s bed, though they had not had sex. (The man has since, perhaps inevitably, been named by a number of websites).”* The Gawker has been denounced for printing the piece by both liberals and conservatives. The story should have never been printed but we are now living in a time when sensational sells and the more sensational the more sales. The more sensational on a website and the more hits and clicks come to your site. No one seems to care if reputations are destroyed that’s simply collateral damage. So often I have heard people say that conservative women are subjected to much harsher treatment. I never gave it much credence until this week. If O’Donnell was a Democrat would they have printed the piece?  Would there have been more public outcry regarding Joy Behar’s bitch comment it Sharron Angle were a progressive? Two things I know: I do not agree with either of these women on policy issues, but as a woman I am offended by the treatment they are receiving by the media.

We Demand Civility from Everyone including Joy Behar

A couple of days ago I wrote a post about The View’s Joy Behar’s rude profane outburst on the show. I believe that we can disagree without being disagreeable. On this blog I enforce civil discussions. When I receive profanity laced comments they immediately get trashed. I believe in the simple premise that it is nice to be nice. I support the president but I have no problem posting opinions that oppose my own. That brings me to something that I found funny. My blog has been widely quoted in several conservative venues, but I find the tone interesting. I am not a conservative I am a woman that called out another woman for her bad behavior. Conservatives don’t have the market cornered on values and manners and neither do the liberals. This election season has brought out the worst in both parties. We no longer have statesmen discussing policies. We now have people threatening each other with bodily harm or the release of dirty laundry. We have got to elevate the dialogue and demand that the people we vote for elevate their conversation.  Almost 20 years ago Rodney King said “can’t we just get along?” Maybe we can’t but we can at least be civil.

The View’s Joy Behar Keeps the Sharron Angle Fight Going

This morning I fully expected Joy Behar to come out on The View and apologize to Sharron Angle. That did not happen Behar actually doubled down on her stance.  She contends her rant was in response to the racist political ads that the Angle camp is running in Nevada. Yes the Angle ads are racist and repulsive but that does not give a television host license to call the candidate a bitch. The View is always talking about empowering women but this seemingly only applies to women they agree with. Behar was wrong and Barbara and the gang refuse to call her on it. Yes Behar has a right to verbalize her frustration and anger with the candidate, but calling her a bitch is simply wrong. Behar mentioned that she had received flowers from the Angle camp with a thank note saying that her rant had helped the campaign raise $150,000. Way to go Behar if you keep talking your words alone might finance one those commercials you despise.

The Miami Heat Big Three Fail to Deliver

Last night was the season opener for the Miami Heat, and the much talked about trio of LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosch lost to the Boston Celtics. This is a the first game of a very long season and in season’s past this would not even have been newsworthy, but the Big 3 made it news. By preening on a techno-enhanced stage last summer declaring We Did It they have effectively put a target on their own backs. I watch a number of political and news shows and on all of them they have taken a swipe at James this morning. One of the stories was read under the caption “Miami Iced.” Yes as you all said “We Did It” and you are right you made your self a target for every NBA team and every news show in need of a punchline.

How Long Will CBS put up with Charlie Sheen?

Two and  1/2 Men is one of CBS most popular shows. So they continue to put up with the antics of Charlie Sheen. He trashed a luxury New York hotel room. The police were called and he was taken to the hospital for observation. Sheen has since left New York and he is back in LA. His publicist claims Sheen suffered from an adverse reaction to a prescribed drug. that might be true but it just seems like another tale in the saga of Teflon Charlie Sheen. he was not charged with anything in this incident. He will pay for the damages to the hotel room and he will move on until the next chapter of Teflon Sheen unfolds. So to answer my own question CBS will put up with him as long as the bad boy continues to be a money maker.

Tea party Candidate Al Reynolds says Black Men Just Want to Sell Drugs

Illinois Senate Tea Party candidate Al Reynolds says black men just want to sell drugs. According to him they don’t want education or jobs they simply just want to sling. Watch the clip and tell me your thoughts.

The View’s Joy Behar owes Sharron Angle an apology

The View crew is an interesting bunch of ladies. A couple of weeks ago Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg walked off the stage because they were so offended by what Bill O’Reilly said. Behar said she stood in the face of hate, but why didn’t she stand against hate this morning? She couldn’t because she was the one spewing it. She called Republican Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle a “bitch”, and later she said Angle was going to hell. So what did her cohorts do they laughed and made small talk no one called her on. No one said it was a shame for one woman to refer to another with this slur. Behar should be reprimanded for her outburst. She has a right to disagree with the positions Angle takes on the issues but calling her a bitch crosses the line that too many people are crossing. A couple of weeks ago Behar was riding so very high on her moral high horse well today she fell into the gutter and she came up spewing garbage. Shame on you Joy!
