No Joe today:

6:01 a.m. Nancy Pelosi trying to save her skin, Mika openly doesn’t seem to buy it.

6:09 a.m. How is one half of one percent important. That is bs and even the MSNBC guys admit it but then again it is the 6 a.m. hour.

6:11 a.m. Mika wants to ask him the question herself.

6:13 a.m. Back to Nancy, this is definitely the conservative hour

6:19 a.m. Apparently flooding in Alaska will keep Sarah Palin out of DC. Mommy I think likes Palin a lot.

6:21 a.m. Haven’t they ever heard of masking drugs?

6:27 a.m. If only 600,000 jobs lost that’s good?

6:35 a.m. Harold Ford is on but the idea that the democratic party has moved to the center is just funny.

6:41 a.m. Harold Ford gets it when it comes to the attacks.

6:44 a.m. Focus on the family is not opposed to a gay supreme court justice, what a bunch of bigots they are eh?

6:52 a.m. Dominic Dimaggio is dead. That is a huge hit to Red Sox Nation, my older brother knew him.

6:59 a.m. Notice that they won’t show the actual Miss California picture, because it is a side shot that doesn’t actually show anything. It’s the old Errol Flynn business let people imagine it is worse than it is.

7:02 a.m. will have to scoot shortly to drop off a car at a garage.

7:04 a.m Mika is having the staff try to get her office, you know she is a real journalist.

7:06 a.m. Not yet got me married (hypothetically)

7:11 a.m. You know Dick Cheney was never considered polarizing until he was president Bush’s vice president he never fed the dog but did pet it.

7:24 a.m. Back from dropping off car, the problem is its not a cut says Todd.

7:26 a.m. Crown of the Statue of Liberty will re-open July 4th.

7:44 a.m. Here comes Ariana.

7:46 a.m. The kindle idea is a good one.

7:47 a.m. MAYBE THE NY TIMES SKEWS LEFT? Willie Willie Willie…

7:48 a.m. Ariana keeps hitting the war, but other than that she is not far off in her contentions today.

7:51 a.m Ariana takes on Peggy on the clicking through vs changing the channel.

7:52 a.m. Mika is exactly right about the forced ad overlay. I hate them!

8:08 a.m. I understand the old America, when people humiliated other people, I don’t understand how people humiliate themselves.

8:10 a.m. Weren’t these same people arguing about newspapers being needed when the MSN suppressed this story for months?

8:12 a.m. That is really tough stuff to have your parent not recognize you.

8:15 a.m. We’ve both been fired by CBS but I’ve been fired by NBC too.

8:42 a.m. The state of American journalism is discussed, it is a story about money.

8:45 a.m. Who wants to be that the side view of Miss. California’s breast makes the news but the fact that all we see in the photo doesn’t.

8:48 a.m. Now that Jon Stewart has allowed it will they mention the Mustard? yes they can!

8:51 a.m. Yes they can! Will they show the shot? No they can’t!

8:53 a.m. They mention Joe the plumber leaving the party, they didn’t mention if he is joining Obama.

No wonder the mainstream media loves Tom Ridge…

…they always love republicans who won’t vote for republicans:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: If you had to vote between Toomey the conservative Republican or Specter the ex-Republican, who would you vote for?

TOM RIDGE: It’s a wonderful country, this America: it’s called secret ballot.

MATTHEWS: Come on!: aye or nay?

RIDGE: You got my answer, Chris: that’s hardball.

You know I don’t recall them having a lot of love for Ridge when he worked for homeland security in the Bush administration, but they will love him as long as he feeds the dog.

Arlen Specter Liberal Pet

I’ve always liked dogs and was struck by this story:

Your dog does not love you and other cold-nosed truths

The article goes on to talk about how dogs have evolved and been domesticated and states:

Their attachment is, in fact, “extremely conditional,” Katz said. “They’ll respond to anyone who gives them food and attention. I have a wonderful Labrador retriever who’s very happy here. But if you had hamburger meat on you, she’d gladly go to Chicago with you and never look back.”

I couldn’t help but think of John McCain, Arlen Specter, and the various groups in the liberal coalition.

Lets start with McCain, as long as he fed the media quotes attacking or questioning George Bush he was a darling, Morning shows, evening shows newscasts all sang his praises, democrats cited his support as proof of being reasonable. During his campaign for president as long as he was far enough behind he was liked…

…then he picked Sarah Palin and the possibility that he might actually win happened. He stopped feeding the dog and the dog decided that there was someone else that they loved better.

Arlen Specter has gotten very good press over the years, his willingness to be “bipartisian” has been celebrated as his vote for the bailout was considered courageous by the press. Democrats favorably cited his support as putting country first. When he switched sides he was the media’s darling.

…then he started acting as he always does, suddenly the dog wasn’t being fed, he was the prop so that he could get the voters. The dog walked away and now Specter is being laughed at and ignored.

Black voters rained praise and votes upon Obama. Yet in the last two weeks black children in DC and black farmers were discarded when their food wasn’t needed.

As the reclusive leftist figured out before the election, as opponents of don’t ask don’t tell have discovered, as anti-war activists are discovering, as long as you are feeding the beast the party will love you but once the food isn’t there or needed then the dog will love someone else. To quote our dog story one final time:

“Dogs don’t ‘miss’ you when you go away,” said Katz, whose conclusions are supported by university studies of animal behavior. “They might get anxious and confused, but don’t mistake that for loneliness or mourning. As soon as they find someone else to take care of them, they forget you pretty quickly.”

This is president Obama in particular and the Democratic party. Not only do his promises come with expiration dates, so does his loyalty.

Update: Glenn and hotair find yet another example of the feed the dog bit for the gay lobby:

CHANGE! Obama To Fire His First Gay Arabic Linguist. Good thing we don’t have that homophobic Bush Administration anymore!

I guess the dog doesn’t need feeding from you.

Here comes the future

With Mary Ann Glendon out of the picture I think the choice of a substitute speaker is a bad choice, if you are going to go with the president, you should have someone who complements him. Cassy Fiano has found the lady:

Of course, leave it to a rabid pro-abortionist like Jessica Ferrar to see otherwise. She’s a Texas state representative, recently honored by Planned Parenthood and the proud owner of a 100% NARAL approval rating.

Hey that’s Obama too it’s a match:

She’s currently trying to force through a bill that would make Catholic hospitals be required to dispense the morning-after pill.

Sounds like the freedom of choice act, right in his wheelhouse:

Her latest bright idea? To decriminalize infanticide. Introducing Texas HB 3318, the first of its kind in the entire country, known as “the infanticide bill”. It defines infanticide as:

A person commits an offense if the person wilfully by an act or omission causes the death of a child to whom the person gave birth within the 12-month period preceding the child’s death

The bill says that infanticide should not be prosecuted as murder, though, as long as:

… at the time of the act or omission, the person’s judgment was impaired as a result of the effects of giving birth or the effects of lactation following the birth.

Infanticide would become a felony, punishable by no more than two years in prison, with a minimum of 180 days, and/or a fine of no more than $10,000.

That sounds odd but consider that in Texas…

This bill was passed by the Texas State Criminal Jurisprudence Committee 7 to 1 on April 28th

7-1 hey that’s where the votes are so Fr Jenkins can use her to have a conversation. And she’s Catholic!

Via gateway pundit.
