Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Monday night links and open thread
I will be retiring to Snoozeville shortly to get some much-needed rest, but didn’t want to until I posted some links to a few stories I haven’t had the chance to blog about today:
—– Identity Politics Disease strikes again: I read at the LA Times Top of the Ticket blog earlier this evening about a piece uber-feminista Nora Ephron scribbled at the HuffPo today, which started out a little something like this in the opening two paragraphs: “But now there are two and we’re facing Pennsylvania and whom are we kidding? This is an election about whether the people of Pennsylvania hate blacks more than they hate women.” It doesn’t get any better. Make sure to read the whole thing as it is a case study on just about everything that is wrong with identity politics.
—– Britain a “Why Bother?” country? The UK Telegraph wrote today (h/t: BCB) about an independent think tank’s report which reportedly shows that Britain’s “benefits culture, high taxes and poor education system leave many people lacking the motivation or capability to succeed.” Hey, I believe it, and frankly I’m not so sure the US isn’t already there.
—– Bill Clinton: I wish we had the GOP system on awarding delegates. Ok, that’s not exactly what he said in front of a group of reporters today, but how much you wanna bet he’s dreamed about it more than once?
—– IBD: “McCain is right to question Obama’s ties to a ’60s radical with a fondness for explosives.”
—– Tony Snow to be a political contributor for CNN: Our beloved former press secretary will now be appearing regularly on CNN to comment on all things politics. I must confess I’ve been impressed overall with CNN’s coverage of the election to date (give or take a few stories) and I think Tony Snow will be a good fit there, and he will, as always truly shine. Cancer update: He has admitted on two different occasions in the last six months that his cancer is in remission.

I heard a good one tonight; the PA Democrat primary voters have a choice between a nut with two boobs…and a boob with two nuts.
CamoJack: how can you know that with any certainty?
I’m worried about Tony. Being in a weakened condition (from chemotherapy) -will he be an easier target for the darkside (at CNN) ??
Great news about Tony Snow. He will certainly be an asset to CNN. And yes, ST, I agree with you that CNN’s coverage has been excellent for the most part.
Hang in there, Tony!
Some Gore studies indicate his propensity for ignorance and so to premise his upcoming latest assault on intelligence and w/o further adieu…….. the Goracle of yesteryear, a gaffed that just keeps giving.

I can’t…which is why I prefaced it with “I heard a good one tonight”.
Pay attention!!!
I realize the story comes from AP which should require a Snope check but since the librulls love to quote from their fabrications, maybe one of the enlightened could please remind me how political pressure is supposed to work so much better than actually eradicating their terrorists…..and how long have we been dealing with the terrorists in Iraq again?
But hey that’s probably the exception, right?
………or not. Putting the fill in UNIFIL, why in the sam hill is one of the biggest blights in the world nestled in America? I sure hope Carter, Hamas, duh Gorcle, CAIR, NEA and the 92% that Geraldine Ferraro was chastised for pointing out
never get together with dhimmicrat voting populace. But that won’t happen because that would be close to racist and dhimmi’s can’t be called on their traditions of hypocrisy, because that would be oh wait……….never mind.
