Operation: Rushbo.

Forget what I said yesterday.

Maybe they do know how to fight dirty. Still know, I should say. I've been reading "Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72" by Hunter S. Thompson, and God damn, they all fight dirty. Hopefully not as dirty as they used to, but after Blagojevich, I suspect it's much the same (Spell checker thinks I wanted to spell archipelago when I wrote Blagojevich).

"'The Administration is enabling me,' he wrote in an email to POLITICO. 'They are expanding my profile, expanding my audience and expanding my influence. An ever larger number of people are now being exposed to the antidote to Obamaism: conservatism, as articulated by me. An ever larger number of people are now exposed to substantive warnings, analysis and criticism of Obama's policies and intentions, a ‘story’ I own because the [mainstream media] is largely the Obama Press Office.'"

The sad part is that a large chunk of that is correct.

Yes, they are enabling him. To who's gain, we'll have to see. Obviously, he benefits which is entirely of no consequence. If I were a Democratic strategist, making one twisted Republican ideologue rich at the expense of the others losing power would be a fine trade indeed.

As for him being the antidote to Obamism, I'd like to wait and see if Obamism is even a disease before I set out to cure it. But of course, when you're batting for the Red Team, you have to go against everything the Blue Team says (It's actually quite sickening what partisanship does to America, but that's another post).

As for the media being the Obama Press Office, he's bang on correct.

"Some princes are born in palaces. Some are born in mangers. But a few are born in the imagination, out of scraps of history and hope."

The lead to Gibbs's article, at least the tone, isn't that unique. And while I don't really expect anything but a liberal bias from TIME, to me that article was the pinacle of Obamism. Not even sworn in, and already we're likening him to Jesus Christ.

I didn't know Obama smoked until after the election, but I knew McCain couldn't recall the amount of houses he owns. I also stopped hearing about McCain when he trotted out that thing he found in Alaska. The media knew she made him look stupid, and she was all anyone ever heard about. She was more like Bush than McCain. Girl Bush if you will.

It's things like the Gibbs article that make us deserve Fox News. I hate Fox "News" for the record, but like the plagues in Egypt, we asked for it.

I could go on for a long time about what bias is. For the record, it's not when one party looks to be clearly in the wrong. Beleive it or not, sometimes certain people are right, and others are not, but we need to criticise the government, whoever it happens to be. The last time we didn't, we got the Iraq war as a reward for our complacency.

Republican or Democrat, we need to make the president sorry he ever ran for office by asking him questions that make him lose half a pound in sweat and six months off his lifespan.
