Right Pundits

So long Current TV and thanks for all the fish! Or perhaps salam alikom might be more appropriate considering the low rated, hard-left station has just been purchased by Al Jazeera, a Middle East news giant owned by the government of Qatar.

For those who have never heard of Current TV (the vast majority of you no doubt), this was the television channel originally founded by Al Gore, who appeared often on various broadcasts to spout liberal nonsense to all 23 of its regular viewers. The MediaDecoder Blog of this NY Times had this to say of the now-defunct station:

Current was conceived in 2005 after Mr. Gore and another co-founder, Joel Hyatt, bought the small cable news channel Newsworld International. After several years in obscurity showing viewer-submitted videos and documentaries, Current tacked to the left in 2011 with the hiring of MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann. A year later, Mr. Olbermann was fired, but a channel made in his image remained, with Mr. Spitzer, Jennifer Granholm and other liberal pundits as hosts. But on a typical night last year, just 42,000 people watched their shows, according to Nielsen.

First, I think it would be pertinent to point to the fact that Gore rushed to close the sale to Al Jazeera before year-end. The goal of course was to avoid paying higher taxes. While Gore, along with the vast majority of other Democratic leaders, has many times decried those “tax cuts for the rich,” it certainly has not hindered him, as it has other wealthy liberal politicians, from enjoying the benefits of Bush-era rates. Of course, most of the tax cuts went to the middle class, as even President Obama has admitted, which is why those rates are about to be made permanent for 99% of the country. But I digress.

The real question is, what’s next for Al Gore after this epic fail? Rumor has it (from at least one unknown source) that Gore will take that $100 million (gained, no doubt, through the sale of Qatari oil) and start his own jam company, “Current Currants.” Okay, perhaps not, but you have to admit, it’s a great idea.

Tonight, I will present a short list of some of my favorite, interesting political ironies, with a short analysis. After the political ironies, we will look at the Al Smith Dinner, one of my favorite parts of the campaign:

“The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever, to 46 million people. Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us “Please Do Not Feed the Animals.” Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.”

Breaking News, Washington DC.

Child Protective Services in Washington DC removed Malia and Sasha Obama from their home at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Saturday, in a move that is certain to have political consequences in this election year. The Obama daughters were placed under the care of foster parents, Saul and Yaffa Bernstein in Baltimore.

I don’t know about you, but I feel so much better now that I know that Joe “Gaffe-amatic” Biden says he won’t “close the door” to a run for the presidency in 2016 after Obama is ready to retire.

That’s right the nation really needs as president the man that asked a fellow in a wheel chair to stand up and wave to the crowd.

Why we desperately need the man whose deep knowledge of American history is so amazing that he informed us all that President Franklin Roosevelt came on TV in 1929 to reassure the nation during the stock market crash. Even… even though neither TV nor a President Franklin Roosevelt existed in 1929.

Herman Cain, currently the GOP candidate that sits atop many of the polls for his party’s nomination, put out an ad recently that had tongues wagging — or at least wags wagging.

It featured his campaign manager, Mark Block (whom I’ve met several times — nice guy), asking supporters to really get in gear for the Hermanator. In case you are unaware, “The Herminator” is one of the nicknames Cain had from his radio hosting days.

Anyway, it wasn’t merely that Block was in the ad. You see, at the end of Block’s little speech he did something that many people found shocking. He took a long puff from his cigarette!

… and the world immediately came to an end.

Excellent parody by Remy and Meredith Bragg from Reason.tv.

Reason.tv explains, “As the Occupy Wall Street movement spreads like a, well, financial contagion through global markets, intergalactic Internet sensation Remy and Reason.tv give the movement its anthem.”

The sad thing is, these masses of wandering people haven’t a clue what hypocrites they are. While claiming they don’t want capitalism, they are tweeting each other on their iPhones, rode their in their expensive cars, or rode $5,000 bicycles, holding their Starbucks coffees, using their brand name cameras to capture it all, and wearing designer clothing.

This guy is the perfect example of what is wrong with these purported protesters in the Occupy-This “movement”?

Do you want disjointed, gobbledegook all wrapped up in pseudo intellectual rhetorical nonsense? Do you want talking points, catch phrases, and empty blather? Do you want a visual feast of the worst of the left?

Here ya go…

If this isn’t hilarious… what is?

This week, on Bill O’Reilly’s program, comedian Dennis Miller handicapped the Republican Presidential contest and discussed various attributes of the different candidates. Here are some of the sharper comments that he made, as well as a video of his appearance.

Herman Cain: If I was Herm — he’s a nice guy; he’s a great radio guest — I’d probably admit that this isn’t going to happen and it might be a better time in history to sell pizza than it is to be the president, because there you might actually see some dough rise over the next few years.

Tim Pawlenty: Nice guy, but he’s not standing out. If I was him I’d take a stand tomorrow. I’d come out. They ask me my first question. I’d step out from behind the podium, drop trou and moon all the rest of them.

Michele Bachmann: Michele Bachmann should not trust the mean girls on the left as her friends because of womanhood. At this point, she’d be better off building a time machine, going back into the ’60s, falling in love and touring with Ike Turner than she would trusting those women.
