This is a platform to comment on local, state and national politics and political news. A special area of interest is the role of corporate media in politics as we move closer and closer to one huge corporation owning all of the media outlets in the country and stifling all independent and critical voices. It will also focus on the absurd 30-plus year Nixonesque political strategy of the “liberal media” lie.
This blog is on temporary hiatus because of my job and thin-skinned Republicans.

Shaking hands
This is a simple question: Why are Republicans having so much trouble with President Obama shaking hands with the democratically elected president of Venezuela at a chance meeting at the Summit of the Americas?
I know. Nixon was hailed as a hero for that photo, but Obama is attacked. Somebody should send that photo to Bill O’reily because he denied it ever took place.
Don't fall over, but we agree on this one. The handshake by Obama was no big deal...and the Nixon handshake is a great comparison.
But don't waste time sending anything to O'Reilly. You and I will come to a peaceful understanding long before O'Reilly does anything that amounts to fairness and accuracy.
Because it's only ok if Republicans do it. Otherwise, it's a sniveling point to be bandied about on the libruhl media.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans...if they ain't whining, they ain't breathing.

It is nice to see we can agree on something. That was the highlight of Nixon’s presidency.
