Hilton/Beck 2012
Radio Silence: Gauging by the news today it’s difficult to know that a 300,000-person rally even took place in Washington D.C. over the weekend. I guess that means there wasn’t a race riot or some other event for the mainstream press to cover. The story that a peaceful crowd upset with the current course of the federal government just isn’t news during an election year.
Thin Skin Watch: Imagine if President Bush dedicated time to whining about how someone the Left treated him. Say what you will about him, but he never did, nor did any of Obama’s predecessors. I guess they felt it was unbecoming of the office to do so. Of course none of our previous presidents were “community organizers,” whose only job it is to whine. President Obama wants to blame all his problems on someone else and then he’s upset that some people aren’t happy. The press didn’t seem to mind when over 20 percent of Americans thought 9/11 was an inside job. Why am I supposed to be upset that people think he’s Muslim? Has anyone in the press bothered to check out where Obama went to church for decades and question whether or not it should really be defined as “Christian”?
Culture of Corruption Watch: Another Democratic member of Congress has been caught violating rules. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson was spreading the wealth around to relatives:
Longtime Dallas congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has awarded thousands of dollars in college scholarships to four relatives and a top aide’s two children since 2005, using foundation funds set aside for black lawmakers’ causes.
The recipients were ineligible under anti-nepotism rules of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which provided the money. And all of the awards violated a foundation requirement that scholarship winners live or study in a caucus member’s district.
Obviously Johnson isn’t to blame. It’s the racist anti-nepotism rules that are at fault, which is why it’s such a good idea to expand the scope and power of a centralized bureaucracy so that the “oppressed” can make sure they and their friends are taken care of. “Social justice” means never having to say your sorry.
Paris Hilton News: The biggest story over the weekend was the Paris Hilton arrest. Miss Hilton’s life is much more important to the average American than what’s going on in Washington D.C. No comment from Camp Hilton about her opinion of the events at the Lincoln Memorial. Oh well, at least Hilton has some idea of international affairs, particularly the complicated nexus between Bogota and Los Angeles.
