“Because the media hasn’t done so, along with Sens. Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte, McCain is calling for Watergate-style hearings into the White House’s dishonest and/or incompetent handling of everything surrounding Libya:
“the lack and pulling of security in the wake of growing threats, the failure to send reinforcements during the seven-hour attack, and a false two-week narrative spun and sharpened over time by an administration that without any evidence whatsoever blamed the attack on a spontaneous protest.”
So, natch, Barry’s court news media—which has been frantically retailing a choking smoke screen of White House leaks on the Petraeus sex scandal—is going after McCain & Co.
Hey, dumbutts, four Americans were murdered in Benghazi: an ambassador and three others, two of them brave soldiers. How about questioning authority for a change? You know, like you were taught in journalism school?

“A lady said to me yesterday wasn’t it terrible that the Director of Central Intelligence should provide such a poor moral model for the CIA?
“’Wouldn’t you think,’ I said, “that an agency whose business is to spy, steal, cheat, lie and probably kill dozens of people each month would be somewhat less than shocked at something like marital infidelity.
“That how curious it was that an agency like the FBI should find the time to investigate threatening emails? How passingly strange it is that the FBI should authorize any kind of investigation of its rival the CIA unless it was a big deal?’” —-Richard Fernandez
Well, it’s a big deal for some people. Barry and Hillary, for certain. Probably the FBI, as well.
But most Americans? I doubt it. If they couldn’t be bothered to vote last week, and more than seven million of them couldn’t, then why would they get exercised about whatever it is that’s really going on behind the Petraeus-Allen-Broadwell-Kelly sexual smoke screen? Especially when the Democrat media is still struggling to keep Benghazi buried and, so far, most of the Republicans in Congress are cooperating.
With the notable exceptions, at least in words, of Lindsay Graham and John McCain.

Comments Off on Barry’s “concern” for the middle class

I must say I have missed hearing about the likes of dictator-lovin’ Sean Penn paddling into Staten Island in a canoe. Guess all those (mainly) white people freezing and starving in the dark isn’t a big enough concern for the manchild of Hollyweird.
It’s probably also the lack of guaranteed Democrat media hysterical coverage, which Istapundit puts the best possible face on:
“That, I suspect, is because Sandy happened in an area that reporters know. Media folks found it easy to believe stories about New Orleans that they wouldn’t believe about their own area. New Orleans is full of black people and southerners, two groups underrepresented in the national media. Manhattan, on the other hand, is familiar turf. Count on the press to give its own milieu a fairer shake.”
Well, fairer in some ways. They do seem to have “forgotten” this time to blame FEMA’s usual stupidity on the president who appointed its director. But of course. This president is a Democrat. And half-black to boot. Two media no-nos in one.
UPDATE: A roundup of the Democrat FEMA’s screwups with Sandy.

Now I don’t have anything against hippies in general. Although, in their heyday in the 1960s and 1970s, I always tried to stay upwind of them because they had a curious aversion to bathing and deodorant.
But the Woodstock hippies I never had much use for partly because while these draft-dodgers were having their pathetic love fest in the mud in the summer of 1969 I was being shot at in Vietnam. And also because they were idiots who couldn’t come in out of the rain, much less feed themselves.
“I was at Woodstock,” Mark Steyn quotes John Ratzenberger in Steyn’s After America: Get Ready for Armageddon, “I built the stage. And when everything fell apart and people were fighting for peanut butter sandwiches, it was the National Guard who came in and saved the same people who were protesting them. So when Hillary Clinton a few years ago wanted to built a Woodstock memorial, I said it should be a statue of a National Guardsman feeding a crying hippie.”
And he goes on to say that those same crying Woodstock hippies—including the Hildabeast and her lyin’, child-molesting husband Slick Willie—are the elite of today’s Democrat party. And if you vote for these high-taxing, over-regulating statists tomorrow—and particularly for our Liar President—then you are a sorry case.
So wise up. Vote Romney. And if he turns out to be another statist, too, we’ll vote his lying ass out as well.

Camille Paglia, an art historian whose name is familiar, though I don’t think I’ve ever read anything by her, calls Obamacare “a Stalinist invasion,” principally because it will be enforced by legions of new IRS agents.
Ms. Paglia, whose very interesting rant on the subject begins near the 12 minute mark on this good interview of her by Instapundit Glenn Reynolds, says she is a Democrat who voted for Obama (like a lot of people in 2008) because she thought he was a moderate who would improve race relations.
Instead, as she puts it, he is a statist and possibly the most divisive racial figure in American history (Trayvon, the thug son he never had, remember?) who deserves to lose. In fact, she wants the Democrat party “shattered” and rebuilt because it is the home of effete liberals who have no notion of how the working class they pretend to champion actually lives and who only wish to pile on more and more government regulations to make all of our lives smaller. While they roll in the dough from our taxes. Vote Romney!
UPDATE: Not enough of us did, vote Romney, I mean. So we’ll have to get ready for our new, higher taxes and much longer times waiting for a doctor’s appointment. At least we’ll have free contraceptives. Gosh, what a deal.
