Morning Joe is Lionizing Murtha on the War

I wasn’t going to talk about Murtha’s death under the, If you can’t say anything nice rule.

However they are lionizing his opposition to the war on Morning Joe this morning. Joe is now alluding to not perfect: (doesn’t mention Haditha and graft and Abscam by name) only says it in passing.

Just “made some mistakes” Joe, I suggest you take a look at Instapundit’s archive on John Murtha.

Bottom line, lets forget the graft, the empty airport and even Haditha, if we followed John Murtha’s advice we would have lost in Iraq instead of won.

End of story.

Does Joe Scarborough even watch his own show?

Scarborough is asserting that the media doesn’t “hate” either the tea party movement or Sarah Palin.

They say this even as Mika continues to play with her hand.

Go turn it on and don’t be drinking while you see these people maintaining that this isn’t so.

I can’t see how we would come to that conclusion.

Update: Newsbusters notices

Update 2: Hotair & Breitbart notice too

The regular protests began…

today at 3:45 p.m. On main street.

There will be daily protests on main street EVERY DAY to protest the presence of planned parenthood.

I’m sure the city counsel will be delighted to see this extra activity on main street. If I was a business I’m sure that the daily presence of protesters would make me really want to come to main street Fitchburg.

Anyone who thinks this is over isn’t paying attention.

Meanwhile in the snow free fields of Alabama…

…Robert Stacy continues to find news.

Stacy determines that the “follow the money rule” doesn’t just apply to pols:

An Associated Press analysis of campaign finance reports shows the Christian Coalition of Alabama received more than $12,000 from in-state gambling interests last year. Race PAC gave $8,000 to the Christian Coalition after receiving donations directly from gambling interests and from other PACs funded mostly by gambling interests. A sister group, Watch PAC, reported $4,500 in contributions to the Christian Coalition last year after receiving contributions from gambling interests.

So the Christian Coalition of Alabama is really a wolf in sheep’s clothing, right? Not so fast.

Another interest group, Citizens for a Better Alabama, has been flooding the television airwaves with an ad featuring Riley — flanked by the state and national flags and referring to his solemn oath to uphold the law — promoting his antigambling task force’s efforts to shut down bingo halls throughout the state.

Once again, to the casual observer it may appear to be overkill for the governor to send hundreds of state troopers to raid and shut down parlors where little old ladies and veterans in wheelchairs fill their bingo cards in hopes of cashing in. But to Riley and a whole lot of other people — especially out-of-state gambling interests — the tens of thousands of electronic bingo machines throughout the state look an awful lot like illegal slot machines. They generate millions of dollars for their owners.

As Robert spends some time with Ali (whose Jay Leno class chin can’t be appreciated in the photo) and cover’s Rick Barber who I’ve already endorsed to replace Richard Shelby in the Senate, Camp of the Saints tracks his movements as best he can.

Although my own prospects of CPAC attendance are dimming, American Freedom likely can’t wait to hear Stacy rejoinder to the victory of her Saints.

Update: Robert Stacy preempts Barbara by eating crow early, at least that means If I miss CPAC I won’t miss the dance of ultimate shame.
