to get the heat off Obama and Rahmbo. The Dems were afraid this whole thing might seriously damper The One’s honeymoon, so they invented another crisis. Obama gets to distance himself from the machine that made him, I’m sure Blago is getting paid, Burris will be Senator of a seat that he could never have won, and Reid just wants to be liked. He’s betting that The One will ride in and save him in 2010, so he will be a lap dog until then.

Isn’t that when “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” came out? (My ex-wife bought me that book…)

I love the quotes!

When was the last time you heard of THAT happening, the sixteen-hundreds?

First of many more to come, I’m sure.

These came from a recent issue of Esquire magazine.

“I remember going to a huge waterfall on a glacier in Iceland. People were there on a rock-platform overlook to see it. They had their kids. There was a place that wasn’t sealed off, but it had a cable that stopped anybody from going past a certain point. I said to myself, You know, in the States they’d have that hurricane-fenced off, because they’re afraid somebody’s gonna fall and some lawyer’s going to appear. There, the mentality was like it was in America in the old days: If you fall, you’re stupid.”

“We live in more of a pussy generation now, where everybody’s become used to saying, “Well, how do we handle it psychologically?” In those days, you just punched the bully back and duked it out. Even if the guy was older and could push you around, at least you were respected for fighting back, and you’d be left alone from then on………………………………..I don’t know if I can tell you exactly when the pussy generation started. Maybe when people started asking about the meaning of life.”

I heard her on Hannity’s radio show on the way home and she is the Queen of taking liberals to the woodshed. I will be purchasing her book in person at a book store because I love the looks of both the patrons and the store staff when purchasing such books

“news coverage out of Washington and the Middle East, and gossip about supposedly gay celebrities.”

Tell ‘em you’re a Redstate resident when you “friend” them. Maybe they’ll say yes. I can’t speak for them. I personally have added a few friends to Facebook that I don’t know. I tend not to do that very frequently, since I kind of operate incognito here. I always check the requester’s other friends to get a gauge on whether they’re on the level or not. In the few cases where I’ve added friends that I don’t know personally, they’ve been friends with a lot of the other RS contribs/directors, so I figured they were ok.

But you ask a fairly simple question with some relatively deep implications. The question of privacy as it relates to political advocacy and your “persona” in the Interweb is an interesting topic. Some of us prefer to maintain a lower profile in our political doings because of who we know, who we work for, etc. Others, like many/most of my fellow contributors (not all) feel OK with being open with their online identity, for various reasons.

that many on Redstate would be banned from NBC as well.
Obama is a downer. One of the biggest jerks I know works at NBC now. I gave this kid a start in the video industry back in the early 90′s.
This guy now runs a dept. with 14 people. Hopefully it won’t be long before he gets laid off.

“like”, “you know” and “fer sure, dude”.

And NBC wonders why their ratings are tanking faster than Chad Pennington was tossing interceptions yesterday.

from Calderone:

UPDATE: An NBC spokesperson tells Politico that Coulter was bumped for news coverage out of Washington and the Middle East, and would be welcomed back in the future. Perez Hilton will still be on the show.

Perez Hilton. Is that a statement on the vapid nature of the Today show, or what?

Is it legitimate to request the directors to be friends (i.e. facebook)? I know I don’t personally know them, but I feel in the spirit of this – http://www.redstate.com/bs/2008/11/30/the-left-owns-the-internet/ – it may help to spread the word…

“We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now,” a TODAY insider reveals. “It’s such a downer. It’s just not the time, and it’s not what our audience wants, either.”
