The Giant Sucking Sound of 2008

Mark Halperin called the press coverage of Obama during the election a "disgusting failure." Well, then, a charge like this demands some investigation. Let me see if I can smoke out this alleged "disgusting" and "extreme" pro-Obama bias.

What has loyalty to the Fox-Republican-Conservative-Neanderthal cause bought E.D. Hill? Nothing. Nada. Zip. She has been dumped by Fox News which just decided not to renew her contract.

Coulter's solution to Republican problems is for it to become even more extreme than it already is. It's a recipe for disaster (and hopefully one that the Republicans decide to try).

There have always been people of little or dubious talent who make it into the rarefied life of the rich and famous by virtue of charisma, connections or plain dumb luck. Sarah Palin may be next.

Will Obama really win this thing? And if he does, can he do much about the economy? Am I really losing my funds? I'll have to rent the Florida place. I don't need it. Will I be able to rent it?

Has the entire political wing of Republicanism officially collapsed into cries of 'anti-Americanism' like some endless robocall recording of O'Reilly-Coulter-Hannity-Gingrich's greatest hits?
