Sunday Morning Political Show Jottings
Nancy Pelosi, Congresswoman
Sunday March 6, 2005
You have to hand it to the Democrats again. They've pulled out the old, dusty, moldy, "Tactics" playbook again. As usual, they are focusing in on the 'doom and gloom' chapters on Social Security reform. The Left has been telling us for years and decades that Social Security needs reforming. The president has a plan, a good one at that. Now, the Left adopts an attitude conveying that there's really not much of a problem with social security.
Ms. Pelosi, described the Social Security reforms of the President and the Republicans as "slashing benefits". She also used the words "Bush's wreckless economic policies..." will not add in any way to help Social Security reform.
"Boo, Social Security - Boo! Boo! Prescription drug benefits for seniors - Boo! Boo! Boo!" - the same liberal mantra that's been used for almost the past fifty years. The Left has nothing to offer, which is why the country in trending conservative and has been since the 1994 oft-called Republican Revolution. The scare tactics of the left have more holes in them than Senator Robert Byrd's old Klan sheet.
At least three times Chis Wallace, on Fox News Sunday asked Ms. Pelosi what is [the Democrat's plan or response to the Bush plan] and every time Ms. Pelosi avoided answering the question.
Dan "Fake Docu-Gate" Rather (Where is Howard Beale when we need him?)
Chris Wallace also interviewed Donald Trump. When asked his thoughts on Dan Rather, Mr. Trump replied: "How does this guy stay in the [network news] ratings and continue to go on? I don't think he's good at the news." Trump added "I'd have fired him years ago."

Morton Zuckerman
Mr. Zuckerman, on (what was a Friday, March 4, 2005 program) on McLaughlin Group, during the "prediction" round, predicted that by year end, there will have been 2 million jobs added. Let's hope he's correct.
