Obama's pals at NBC's Saturday Night Live

I don't know if we can overcome the popular myth makers who are taking so much trouble to try to destroy the Republican Party.

Our chances of winning the election might be slimming down as a result of the very effective anti Palin movement in the entertainment industry. Saturday Night Live, the children who make more money in one hour than my father ever did in his educated, experienced lifetime have been given the no-holds-barred okay from their corrupt management to go after Senator McCain and Governor Palin.

Last night's SNL was no exception. (I had to leave the room when my husband punched it in.) The vicious characterizations of Mrs. Palin and Senator McCain indicate a very odd arrangement that these out of touch entertainers have with the rest of us. They are unabashed in their belief they have the moral right to use their programming as pure propaganda. Fair? Not at all. Mean and ugly are more like it.

The rest of us just have sit and listen to it. You and I are pretty helpless considering our place in the media food chain. But that's free speech, isn't it?

Unless something happens to change the perception that we're bungling idiots, we're going to lose. Nevermind that the problems of the melt down in the banking and mortgage sectors of our economy are directed related to the policies and immorality of the Democratic Party as they placed people who didn't have money into homes.

Then the real idiocy--Democrats trying to run the country--will take center stage. If America can survive the Left's occupation of all three branches of our government (hopefully it will be a short reign), we can start again presenting our Republican principles to a more mature and experienced public.

If you think you're frustrated now with the government bail out and it accompanying politics and giveaways, just wait until Obama and Biden have lost us our security in addition. I just hope they don't get us all killed.

Meanwhile, I am angry this morning at my party. especially George Bush and, yes, at our candidates for allowing themselves to be defined by the sexists, ageists and racists in the media, especially on the entertainment side. Providing no effective defense against this barrage is their fault.

I'm afraid I've done all I can to help.

Thanks for the read.

Tim Russert is my kinda guy. I loved him and I'll miss him.

He died on Father's Day weekend, the exact same time thirty years ago as my own dad's passing...Father's Day was never the same again.

Oh. Gee...I just realized that.

Nevermind. I'll write something more about my feelings about Tim tomorrow or the next day maybe.

I'll just mention Tim didn't have the same personality as my dad, but he did enjoy the same spirit. I can't write any more without crying. What a lovely man Tim was. A sweet, lovely man.

Later.

Thanks for the read.

Wall to wall coverage for Kennedy seizure? Why?

Please, networks, please don't do this to us again. Please. Don't play into the Democrat's PR machine again.

Now you want to expand the mythology into the next generation of Democrats somehow by memorializing him by tying him into a deliverance theme with Barack Obama. Very smart. Good timing.

Oh, Dems, the visit from John Kerry to the hospital? Nice touch. Phony. But a nice touch. They love that stuff in Massachusetts.

He's not my senator. Twenty-four hours of it?
I'm in California. I really don't care what's going on with a senator from Massachusetts. Really. I don't. Other than a small paragraph or two about his progress, nothing else is required. I believe there are many, many others who agree with me.

We Americans put up with the media's Hollywood-style, infantile aggrandizement of the Kennedy clan for decades starting in the late 50s and into 60s and 70s while the gaga press at the three networks acted like fan boys at a film festival. Hard news became a byproduct of their style news.

So are today's networks going to pull the same thing again with another of the Democrat's bought and sold images? Has anything changed? Probably not. Even though newsrooms are run by a whole different group of people, they still consider themselves way left of center politically, if not further to the left.

However, even Fox News felt compelled to pull in their big guns to do the "I remember him when" routine with Brit Hume, likely as a result of competition. I wonder who's listening. I couldn't believe someone actually brought out the ancient Ted Sorensen with his ancient lies. God, I thought these myths were finally, blessedly buried and gone. No such luck. It's as if we all have to go to our friend's grandfather's parlor and listen to the same tired lies again. You know they're lies, but you'll do anything to get that homemade ice cream at their summer picnics.

I'd rather put needles in the pinpoint of my irises at noon than to listen to Ted Sorensen lie to me--again--even now that I'm 63. Good God. Is there no rest for people like me? I thought the man had passed away years ago. I thought that when I confessed all my sins I wouldn't have to sit through this again and again...oh well.

Be the Greatest Kennedy, Ted
I've been in the midst of publicly paying my dues for my monumental wrongs and have been for the past ten years with no end in sight. By that I'm saying there are new revelations of my having missed the mark every day. Major ones.

Maybe this is where you are, Senator. I hope it is. I don't need to tell you that life's tough; life is earnest, so you'd best get cracking because it doesn't look like you've got much time. I'm a lot younger than you, but I've lived as hard as you, although I don't think I've killed anyone. Thank God for that. Considering how much I drank at one time I sure could have.

Oh, and you networks? Cover this--the truth about Mary Jo Kopechne, why dontcha? Go back to being the Fourth Estate. Stop being the Kennedy lapdogs. Find out about the mythology behind Obama. Do your jobs. The rest is just politics.

I guess I expect too much.

Thanks for the read.

P.S. Get well, Senator Kennedy and God bless you. Really.
