Just finished watching The View. I never, ever watched the show before---and had decided to wait for the "highlights", but after all the controversy that surrounded President Obama's appearance; I decided to check it out for myself.

When it was over, I has one question to ask:

Ummmm....okay what the hell was the problem with that?

Republican candidates just can't get enough Maddow. I know, me either, but Republicans? Why Republican candidates?

Is she really that likable? Yes.

But apparently that is not what is making her a hot commodity these days. Rather it is the prospect of making money off her scarrrryy big spending Liberal name.

First there was Scott Brown, who for no reason whatsoever claimed Maddow was going to run against him and tried to fund-raise off of her. After a couple of week, Maddow got serious:

Which caused Mr. Brown to run for cover.

Over the last few days the one and only thing that has gotten coverage from Cable and Network news is the NAACP/Tea Party/Shirley Sherrod/Breitbart controversy. In the midst of the hullabaloo something happened---you might have noticed it yourself if you were watching C-SPAN or cruising on HuffPost. Congress passed Wall Street Reform.

Yeah.

It is kind of a Big F*cking Deal (Love ya' Joe).

So I thought I might fill you in.

Over the fold---

Alright. I get it. I totally understand.

But WTF is going on here?

Yes, Shirley Sherrod should NOT have been forced out of her job. She should have been given a chance to explain for herself. It is a damn shame that she was pulled to the side of the road and forced to "text" in her resignation. NAACP should not have condemned her without watching the entire tape.

BUT SERIOUSLY, WTF?!?

Watching Hardball with Chris Matthews comes with its risks. Sometimes you find yourself watching Chris talk himself into a frenzy until you fall asleep and sometimes he just grates your nerves to the point you have to throw the television out the window. But then there are those days when he shines---the epic take-down of Michelle Malkin the caused her to run from MSNBC and NEVER to return---or when he gave Michelle Bauchman just enough rope to politically hang herself.

Last nite was one of those nights.

Jerry Brown SLAMS Sarah Palin and other right-wingers with those pesky little facts

Yesterday, I was watching Hardball with Chris Matthews.

On the show Chris was talking to Howard Fineman and Lynn Sweet about the California

races and the whole "Ladies Night" storyline. Chris then brings up Sarah

Palin and how she is doing in pitching for votes, for both Meg Whitman

and Carly Fiorina. He then plays a clip of the Caribou Barbie attacking

Jerry Brown on his past record in California (video below the fold).

After the video Sweet say's something along the lines of "If there is

anyone that can take on Sarah Palin....it would be Jerry Brown".

So I looked up Jerry Brown. Looks like Sweet was correct.

Sorry for the Short Diary---have to go out. Let's make this clip viral-er.

Well, what it gets into then is if you decide that restaurants are publicly owned and not privately owned, then do you say that you should have the right to bring your gun into a restaurant, even though the owner of the restaurant says, "Well, no, we don't want to have guns in here." The bar says, "We don't want to have guns in here because people might drink and start fighting and shoot each other." Does the owner of the restaurant own his restaurant or does the government own his restaurant? These are important philosophical debates but not a very practical discussion.

"What I don't like from the president's administration is this sort of, 'I'll put my boot heel on the throat of BP think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business."

"I think it's part of this sort of blame game society in the sense that it's always got to be someone's fault instead of the fact that sometimes accidents happen."

Hello---

This week Mr. Rich writes another must-read Op-Ed. It is something I pointed out in my previous diary but taken to a much more erudite level.

Usually I try to fill the diaries I write with snarky comments and pics to keep a reader interested but I don't think I have the willpower to go through through dissecting this national embarrassment.

My Apologies.

As for addressing my title, please follow below the fold.

The Liberal Mainstream has been on cruise-control writing the
narrative that Election-2010 will be a HUGE victory for
Republicans as the Democrats will see losses they haven't seen since...well 1994.

Apparently, the polls have already closed---and FOX NEWS has placed
orders for their "Mission Accomplished" signs.

But...it seems their presumed victory parade is about to hit a speed bump.
