Tina Brown’s Sad, So So Sad Late Nite Open Thread »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Nov 19, 2009 in Current Affairs | 21 Comments

Here’s Tina Brown’s lament for The One’s visit to China on today’s MSNBC Morning Joe, transcribed by moi:
It’s sad that Obama can’t say anything about dissidents when he goes to China. It’s sad that he can’t raise anything. You know, he just has to go there and suck up.

It’s evident, as this satire reflects:

I’m sure we all agree that Miranda warnings for U.S. citizens are a precious right. (See the original Supreme Court decision and its history: Miranda v. Arizona.) Most everyone, thanks to countless TV shows, is aware of that right. And, also thanks to TV dramas, we’ve all seen [...]

Why Didn’t They Fire Him? »

When I see headlines and stories like these, I shake my head. EVERYTHING else aside, including his horrific murders, this man had NO business working with soldiers needing counseling. He had NO business in the U.S. Army. He should have been discharged (but also closely monitored thereafter).

If Only The U.S. Had Always Been More P.C. »

Written with the input of the highly imaginative Reverend Amy.
These days, says that old crab* Charles Krauthammer, P.C.-ness is “endemic.” He is such a pessimist that he thinks we’re hopelessly overcome by the P.C. crowd. Well, I must say, I concur. We are all so much more sensitive these days, aren’t we? If [...]

(Bumped up from Friday night.)
“[R]ecognizing the last full measure of devotion from these soldiers is the right thing for a President to do,” writes Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey. Curiously, like most pundits, Morrissey believes Obama’s trip to Dover was about a nod to the military in Afghanistan and to Gen. McChrystal.
