DeLay Au RevoirTom DeLay has said bye-bye to his fellow Texas Republicans. And he went out the way he came in and the way he served: As a hypocritical, partisan, phony. Neil Cavuto. What a concept.For those who avoid Fux News at all costs, Mr. Cavuto is the host (and, he insists, commentator, as well--the better to defend himself against claims of partisanship) of the show Your World. He's also been managing editor of business news for the Fux Fokes since 1996. He's also, if you haven't guessed already, as bitter, nasty and partisan as you can get without wearing a uniform with lots of belts and leathers. A short stroll through Cavuto Land.

Here is what drives me. I have been cynical about politics since the viet nam war, and still am i guess, but dubya has sort of pushed me over the line. Stay the course, indeedI had to post this; rarely have I heard a more succinct and damning description of what Bush has accomplished in Iraq. Anti-torture law? What anti-torture law?Typical headline for the 21st century, from the Jurist web site at the U of Pittsburgh: Geneva references omitted from revised Army interrogation manual: report Uh-oh, Economy May Be Slowing Down!More smoke, more mirrors: Seems the Fed is "wary", signs that the economy may be slowing down........ Good news on bad job growthPollyanna had nothing on today's politicians and journalists. Witness this take by Dan Arnall of ABC on yesterday's grim report of only 75,000 new jobs last month: Bob Ney joins Katherine Harris in invisibilitySome Republicans are trading high visibility for invisibility. WTW previously described Katherine Harris's drift toward the invisible end of the Republican spectrum. Now it seemsBob Ney, he of Ohio and Abramoff fame, is rapidly joining her: It's All Quite AtrociousOne of my young buds asked me the other day: "Is this how it went back in your day?".... |
