ABC Circus This Week
Harry Reid on ABC This Week, and I paraphrase the former stroke sufferer, but man is he out of touch with reality: "Gas still $3.00 a gallon." When was the last time you actually pumped your own gas, Senator? "...The President should apologize for the Scooter Libby matter....Karl Rove should resign...[Libby] lied to an investigation...The Extreme, Radical Right Wing drove [Harriet Miers] out of nomination...." Here come the politics of personal destruction, the element the Left says they abhor so much!
Harry, have you finally stepped into the deep, unretractable abyss of rank political partisanship? Yeah, I think it's safe to say he has. Often, host George Stephanopoulos seemed incredulous at the unrelated non-answers Reid gave to specific questions asked by Stephanopoulos.
Why should President Bush apologize? For Scooter Libby? We should all wait until the trial is completed and a verdict reached before leaping to suggest the president say something that only you want to hear? Hey, here's one better: How about President Bush, at the podium, utters a voice-cracking "I feel your pain." Will that give you the warm fuzzy you seek, Mr.Reid?
Cokie Roberts, looking freshly pulled out from a casket and making regular appearances on the round table discussion, noted that an ABC Poll resulted in 55% responding see a "pattern of [lying]" with the President and Vice President's offices. Ooooooh, we all better double down and bet the house on the accuracy of that ABC Poll. I'm sure the ABC poll wasn't biased or slanted in any way.
Did I hear Cokie say, regarding gender of the next nominee for the Supreme Court -- did I hear her say "There's not enough white men left in the country to go around"? I'm going to have to check their transcript on their site later. I don't know how George Will can sit there, week after week, year after year, without going insane listening to these people.
And week after week some people hear that garbage and they believe it? I get my news on that inter-web, damnit.
