Damning interviews on Fox and Friends

The MSM is so ga-ga and supportive of Obama that chills go up the reporter’s leg, according to Chris Matthews. Detractors love to pound Fox, but a Pew Study has shown a more balanced (and informed) viewership.

There were two damning interviews this morning on Fox and Friends that would have never made it to the story boards on CNN or broadcast. First, there was an interview with Diana Degette (D-Colorado) who was responding to a question about the Hillary vote. She reminded the audience that even if they were disappointed that Hillary wasn’t the candidate, they should remember that Obama, rather than McCain, supports the issues women care about, “Birth control and abortion,” she said. “You mean McCain is pro-life?” the reporter asked, and she skipped right on by. On the MSM, no reporter ever uses that term--they always say “anti-choice.”

Then Steven Doocy’s son Peter was “student on the street” interviewing college age students about why Barack Obama was so popular. He began by pointing out to the TV audience this will be the 18 year olds first opportunity to vote for someone other than American Idol, which gets something bizarre like 98 million votes, 80 million more than Obama. First he asked the young women (I recall one guy but he never spoke), about American Idol and what they looked for. I forget exactly what they said--confidence, and a great performer (I don’t think they mentioned talent). Then he asked them about what legislation on Barack Obama’s resume appealed to them. They were completely stumped. Stuttering stumped. When he asked about his presentations, they could rave about his voice, eloquence and youth, but nothing he said, believed or had accomplished. Steven admitted he did find a few young voters who knew more, but most knew nothing about Obama except for his performing ability.

How sappy is this? And we never did elect another Catholic president!
    After Obama secured the nomination, CBS reporter Byron Pitts declared, “Barack Obama and his wife Michelle walked into history’s arms last night. … Just like JFK’s journey as the first Catholic president, America crossed a milestone. … One of America’s oldest and ugliest color lines has been broken, and there’s a new bridge for a new generation.”
Both of these interviews made my sex look really, really bad.

Aborton is the tar baby that sticks to the female vote, the Democrats have learned. It’s such a non-issue. Almost no babies make it out alive if a woman is determined to abort. All the wailing and marching of the last 30 years by conservatives have not changed the law, and no method of death, save WWII, has killed more humans in my lifetime (although the ban on DDT has probably come close). I’m guessing 95% of the women would say “although I would never have an abortion, I don’t want to take that right away from other women.” So when it’s someone else’s baby it’s OK? How liberal.

And celebrity? Why not elect Madonna (she's only 50)? Or Paris (is she old enough)? They draw crowds and men don’t complain about their legs.
