Another reason to like Jake Tapper

is this Tweet:

hey Chinese government – i found a way to sneak around your firewall on my laptop to get to twitter. Dont fear freedom, Chinese government. about 12 hours ago from web
jaketapper

He is putting himself out there and China has a long memory, does he care? No! This explains why he isn’t worried about challenging this White House, if he’s not afraid of China he certainly isn’t going to be afraid of Obama.

He even gets to the bottom of the bow:

“This picture shows two things,” my friend writes.

“1) The ‘right’ is wrong about Obama’s bow.

“2) The ‘left’ is wrong about Obama’s bow.

“His bow is neither (1) unprecedented nor (2) a sign of cultural understanding.

“At their 1971 meeting in Alaska, the first visit of a Japanese Emperor to America, President Nixon bowed and referred to Emperor Hirohito and his wife repeatedly as ‘Your Imperial Majesties.'”

and he explains why the left is wrong too (although other than anti-communism Nixon was very much a liberal republican).

The bow as he performed did not just display weakness in Red State terms, but evoked weakness in Japanese terms….The last thing the Japanese want or need is a weak looking American president and, again, in all ways, he unintentionally played that part.

Would there be anyone worth paying attention to in the Washington press corps if he wasn’t there, (excluding of course the wonderful Byron York)?

Exit question: How long before he ends up at Fox when the White House gets sick of dealing with him?

Q: How do we know the Oprah interview was effective?

A: Morning Joe is doing their best to ignore and dismiss it and pass it by.

I don’t know how much of it is an act but it’s funny.

Oh and they have Bill Press on now talking about how Obama owns any room he walks into and nobody does it like that.

He has never been in a room with Sarah Palin

Update: They made it up in the 8 a.m. hour but Robert Stacy has something to say on the subject of course:

Whether or not Sarah Palin is the last, best hope of the GOP, she is inarguably the worst nightmare of crusading liberal journalists. Not since Oliver North showed up for a key congressional hearing in his Marine Corps uniform has the Washington press corps been so spectacularly vexed at its inability to destroy an intended victim. Her mere survival makes her Evil with a capital “E.” The only way Republicans can save Palin from this incessant maelstrom of media hatred is to nominate a Limbaugh-Coulter ticket in 2012.

The result of this constant Palin-bashing is exactly the opposite of what the bashers intend. Possessing an amazing ability to enrage liberals, she causes them to expose their own nuttiness, as when Andrew Sullivan — Patient Zero of the Palin Derangement Syndrome media pandemic — accused her of being “obsessed” with him.

I have one objection to all of this. 2012, 2012, 2012. Sarah Palin is a year younger than me. In 2024 I’ll be 60 years old and Sarah Palin will be a year younger. She doesn’t have to run in 2012 she will be around for decades.

This week is going to be the media free-for-all on Sarah Palin…

…except for the outlets that manage to get her on.

Let’s face it, most of the MSM and the magazines that are attacking her are hemorrhaging readers and/or viewers. They will hit Palin they will make fun of Palin but they know that she is a breadwinner for them, and they also know that every moment that they cover Sarah Palin is a moment that they don’t have to cover this president and the best thing for their side (yes they have a side) is to avoid covering this president.

The media is going to be pretty much unwatchable all week.

As Rush has said, the left will tell us who they fear, and they are screaming it loudly. Watching Morning Joe today it is also not a coincidence that apparently the two of the favorite republicans of this show are apparently hit hard in this book.

Lets be blunt: Any Republican that thinks the advice of the media is worth taking for their benefit is an idiot and the concept that they will consult an editor of the Nation for this says much more about Morning Joe than it does about Sarah Palin.

Did Tom Brokaw just say that Germany was sliced and diced by the west?

Brokov just said that Germany was sliced and diced by the west and the Soviet Union on Morning Joe and nobody called him on it.

Am I the only person alive who actually read history? Who actually talked to WW II vets? Did Brokov actually write a book called the greatest generation?

Is he going to endorse the Della Morte article?

What is wrong with these people?

This is a great example of why History is the most important subject in the world, the world has to be constantly reminded of reality because too many people either for personal gain or ignorance or by deception choose to forget it.
