Obama Asked Most Biased Question In The History Of Journalism

TOM Brokow, an NBC reproter,  interviews President Obama after his trip to Buchanwald, and asks:

BROKAW: What can the Israelis learn from your visit to Buchenwald? And what should they be thinking about their treatment of Palestinians?

Did Obama even bother to grant this weak and dishonest analogy with a reply? Yes – and he did OK:

OBAMA: Well, look, there’s no equivalency here.

Spotter: Yid With Lid, via Hot Air

Obama Omaha And Barack Rewrites The Spanish Inquisition

YOU say Omaha. Gordon Brown says Obama. Now Obama speaks. And he’s got his own take on history. Hey, no-one expects an inquisition. So no questions:

Obama Omaha:

Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance. We see it in the history of Andalusia and Cordoba during the Inquisition.

Barcepundit notes:

By the time the Spanish Inquisition was created in 1478, Cordoba has been reconquered from Islamic hands almost 150 years earlier, in 1236.

Gordon Brown Might Be In Trouble

A LOOK at Gordon Brown in the news. Old Mr Anorak says, “I may not be a political expert, but I sense the rumblings of discontent”…

Gordon Brown may be days from departure. Or – like the twitching body at the end of a hangman’s noose – his final spasms may be more drawn out.

Gordon Brown Crashes The Party

JOHNATHAN Pearce looks at how Gordon Brown’s melting-away Labour Party are every bit as crazed as he is:

The meltdown of Gordon Brown’s Labour government continues. I was struck by this passage of resigning Cabinet minister James Purnell’s letter to the Prime Minister. It is very revealing in what it says not about the differences between these men, but their similarities:

“We both love the Labour Party. Party. I have worked for it for 20 years and you for far longer. ‘‘We know we owe it everything and it owes us nothing. I owe it to our party to say what I believe no matter how hard that may be. I now believe your continued leadership makes a Conservative victory more not less likely. That would be disastrous for our country. This moment calls for stronger regulation, an active state, better public services, an open democracy. It calls for a Government that measures itself by how it treats the poorest in society.

Barack Obama’s Epithet: Barack The Possible

The New York Times explains Obama:

Mr. Obama offered few details for how to solve myriad problems and conflicts around the globe, but he offered up his own biography as a credible connection to his audience. While the message touched upon a litany of challenges, it boiled down to simply this: Barack Hussein Obama was standing at the podium as the American president.

He’s Barack the Possible…

Gordon Brown’s Nursery State

RICHARD North loosk at nursery games in the House of Commons:

Watching the glee with which the BBC dealt with James Purnell’s resignation last night and the febrile excitement of the claque, the only conclusion to be drawn is that the political classes have totally lost the plot.

Politics now has become a self-referential sport, totally divorced from reality, consumed by its own narrow passions, focused only on the great election game, which has become an end in itself.

Obama Is Once, Twice, Three Times A Muslim

BARACK Obama is the kind of please-all politican that foments unease by not really standing for all that much and allowing everyone else to strand for whatever they like without fear of sanction.

When in Rome, Obama behaves like the Roman tourist. Now in the Middle East, Barack Obama, the man with no middle name, becomes Barack Hussein Obama.

Over there, Obama is once, twice, three times a Muslim.

Says BHO:

It is important to note that “if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world”.

Labour MPs Email Gordon Brown To Resign

LABOUR MPs are being met by an email that calls on Gordon Brown to step down as Prime Minister.

Dear Gordon,

Over the last 12 years in government, and before, you have made an enormous contribution to this country and to the Labour Party, and this is widely acknowledged.

However we are writing now because we believe that in the current political situation, you can best serve the Labour Party and the country by stepping down as party leader and prime minister.

And so allowing the party to find a new leader to take us into the next general election.

Yours,

XXX

Sky News says the email asks MPs to sign the letter and send it to a particular email address. Once  50 MPs have signed it it will be published.

Brown is doomed.

Dick Cheney Fails The Gays

IAN Leslie finds Dick Cheney’s views on gay marriage disappointing and not at all becoming a right-wing hang-’em-by-the-testes nutter:

Dick Cheney has a gay daughter. For this reason he makes an exception to his general rule of sticking to the standard hardcore conservative position on every issue, and declares himself open to the idea of gay marriage (he believes it ought to be decided at the level of states, a position that puts him just to the left of Barack Obama, and it’s not often you get to say that).

Says Leslie:

I find this disappointingly wussy, and not at all becoming of the prince of darkness. I sort of want Cheney to disown his daughter or at least demand she be waterboarded until she admits to fancying men. But no, he goes right ahead and accepts her for who she is.

LibDems Demand Respect For Greasy Haired Twats

THE Liberal Democrats’ Anna Pascoe, Lib Dem candidate for Cornwall Council elections on 4 June, has sent out a pamphlet calling Mebyon Kernow candidate Stuart Cullimore a “greasy-haired twat“.

We make no comment on Mr Cullimore, who is said to be considering his response. But we must note that greasy haired twats are a group that has long been abused.

A spokesman for the Respect Greasy Haired Twats Focus Group, a Mr. C. Ronaldo, says that for too he and his kin have been suffering abuse. It has to stop. If, as expected, Baron Baker of Dorking champions the cause, then their will questions in the House.
