Media sucking this primary race for all it's worth!




The above cartoon by Daryl cagle on msnbc.com says it all. The media is having a field day ... and McCain? Whoddat?

The average American voter (that's me, right?) is continuing to be bombarded with statements that say, "it's all over but the shouting" and having to hear yet once more, "God-damn America" in the key of loud by the Right Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright.

Personally, I'm insulted!

No, the Democrats have not yet chosen their candidate and yes, Senator McCain continues to make statements that are worthy of being heard. But watching the nightly TV-casts (talking heads and supposed newscasts) would suggest otherwise.

Like Huckabee before her, Hillary is suggesting that all of the states who have yet to be heard from (plus Michigan and Florida) be tallied before the ballots are printed for November's General Election.

I admired Mike Huckabee's energy in the Republican race and can't help but admire Hillary for giving it her all in the Democrat race. Let's hear them out and let the chips fall where they may. To be honest, young Barack has seemed to have more logical arguments of late (Hillary's and McCain's summer gas tax "holiday" plans are both pure bunk--and pandering), but his smug and elitist demeanor happen to rub this old curmudgeon the wrong way. But that aside, he is certainly not a terrorist or whatever it is that Fox Talk is trying to tell me he is on XM-168!!

McCain is seeming more and more to be a puppet of Corporate America, but I do think he's right that Supreme Court justices should be more similar than dissimilar to GWB's choices (Alito and Roberts were super picks, IMHO) and not flaming liberals, which would be Obama's (and maybe Hillary's) likely choices.

Whatever, it ain't over till it's over (in Yogi Berra's words) and I'd really like to hear less of Rush, Bill O., Hannity and yes, even less of Ed Schultz who is (supposedly) the progressive counter-voice on Air America at XM-167.

I repeat: Hillary Clinton is not a blood-sucking witch; Barack Obama is not a radical Black Panther and John McCain is not dead!
