This was a hit of a different kind, but I still remember the “Sabra Price is Right” sketch from 1990 or so. Complete lampoon of Israeli salesmen, completely inappropriate on about ten levels, and really funny. Could someone be offended by it? Sure. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t funny. And that’s the basic rule that SNL at its best plays by.
There’s something pretty funny about a sketch from the late 80s with Phil Hartman as Orel Roberts meeting Charlton Heston as God. With Heston’s God having the opening line of “Did you bring the Money?” Inappropriate? Yup. Funny? Yup.
I have to admire the good humor of many religious people. Fred Rogers famously did not object to Eddie Murphy’s “Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood”. He saw the humor in it and didn’t jump to condemn it. One wishes that the more sanctimonious would learn from Fred Rogers’ example.

I’ll give Cain credit for owning a statement that’s been making the rounds of the right wing media ever since November 6th. He’s just repeating the line that Rush Limbaugh coined the morning after Mitt Romney lost: the notion that the “low information” voters re-elected Barack Obama because they must have somehow been too stupid to vote for the correct candidate.
More and more I’ve been hearing this nonsensical claim about the “low information” voters – which seems to be turning into a dog whistle now. When you hear right wing pundits use the phrase, it’s a shorthand for people that want handouts, people who want a free ride, people who are too stupid to be able to vote correctly. When O’Reilly says “How dumb are we?”, he’s missing the point of what Cain and Rush are saying. From their point of view, “smart” people like O’Reilly voted for Mitt Romney but there were just too many more stupid people voting for Obama. This is a ridiculous argument, of course, and it really smacks of sour grapes. But it won’t stop the right wing from trying to establish that lie as their truth in years to come.
It’s the same way that the right wing is trying to blame the entire “sequester” cliffhanger on Obama. Which assumes that their viewers were asleep in 2011 when all of this was set up. The right wing assumes everyone has forgotten how the House GOP blew up a budget deal between John Boehner and President Obama and made noises about shutting the government down rather than doing the usual procedure to raise the debt ceiling. As a stopgap measure, Obama’s people presented the notion of raising the ceiling and establishing a bipartisan committee to work on budget cuts and new taxes. If that committee failed to do their job, then the “sequester” would kick in as an undesirable fallback for both sides. It wasn’t intended to be used – it was intended as a disincentive, to make both sides bargain fairly. The GOP then refused to bargain, asserting their Grover Norquist pledges, and the committee broke up. Leaving us with only the undesirable cuts for both the military and the domestic sides of the budget. The point was the Congress was supposed to find a real solution to the problem. Instead, the GOP decided to use the situation as another political grenade to throw at Obama. They can rewrite this all they like, but there are too many people who do know the real history.

I put this in another thread, but it bears repeating. The funniest part of this frantic attempt to throw more mud at President Obama is the indignation stated by Ed Henry now that he has a nominal title to go with his work as Fox’s voice in the White House press room. It’s almost as funny as the tries Henry made in 2011 and 2012 to get Mitt Romney’s talking points into the Daily Briefings with Jay Carney.

The thing is, there really isn’t much of a story to the USDA thing. It’s a normal procedure at large companies and at government agencies for the employer to hold various assemblies – for racial senstivity training, for sexual harassment awareness, etc. And yes, the people who teach these assemblies get paid to do this. Considering they’re hiring an expert in the area, holding a PhD in it, it sounds like par for the course for a federal agency. This isn’t a matter of people spending money to go to Vegas – it’s a matter of them going to a seminar at their workplace.
The reason Fox News objects is because they don’t like the content of the seminar. But when you hear what the guy is saying, there’s nothing outrageous there.

2013-02-15 22:16:28 -0500

Trying to sift through this mess is not fun.
Dorner was completely unhinged and in the end had committed himself to a murderous rampage. The apologists for him ignore the fact that he killed that woman and her fiancee just because of who her father was. He gets no sympathy from me, regardless of his grievances with the LAPD. Plenty of people have grievances with police departments and they don’t do this.
That said, the handling of this matter was ridiculous, including innocent people being shot at by police because their vehicle looked like his. The final night, with the LAPD and San Bernardino PD arguing in public over whether the manhunt was over, was a prime example of two department heads really needing to have their heads knocked together.
It was inevitable that once Dorner was cornered by police, something like this was going to happen. There was no way he was going to be taken alive, and I think everyone involved knew that. We can discuss the nature of how that final confrontation was handled but we should keep in mind there had just been an exchange of automatic weapons fire during which Dorner had just killed another policeman and seriously wounded a second. I don’t think he had any intention of walking out of that cabin with his hands up, and I’m not sure how he could have after the mayhem he had committed.
Given all that, Hill’s comments were also ridiculous, even when taken in context. And it’s not just that he was being insensitive to the victims – it’s just ridiculous to be talking about how exciting it is to see a modern day John Rambo shoot at police and civilians. Hill was legitimately trying to explain the appeal of such a man, but he also got a little carried away. Which gives people like Bill O’Reilly room to make nasty comments to him, unfortunately. I don’t like the way O’Reilly approached it, with the really sanctimonious lecture, but I can’t argue that it was okay for Hill to make the comments. Another guest on another show mentioned that Hill has been a supporter of Wesley Cook (aka Mumia Abu Jamal). This is unfortunately true, and it damages Hill’s credibility, particularly in this matter.
That said, watching O’Reilly enjoy lording it over Hill and then cut his mike at the end was distasteful.

Kevin Koster commented on Cavuto Jokes About The Impact Of Raising Social Security Retirement Age
2013-02-15 22:04:10 -0500
· Flag
Cavuto did agree that it wouldn’t be a good idea to raise the eligibility age for people who work in heavy physical labor jobs. This was before he made the joke about his own job being difficult, but he clearly understood that his comment wasn’t going to fly.
The fact is that they will wind up lifting the cap as Clyburn suggested, which will stop the discussions for another 20 years or so. They can also slightly adjust the payroll tax rate as just happened, and as was done back in the 1980s under Reagan.
The numbers of retirees will hit a peak fairly soon, as we get to the end of the baby boom retirees, and at that point the ratio numbers will start to open up again. That whole notion of 30:1 versus 1:1 is just another opening SS opponents regularly use to try to discredit the whole idea. Keep in mind that these are the people who never wanted it around in the first place.
I do think that the eligibility age could be slowly raised, but the issue of heavy physical labor and hazardous professions must be kept in mind or you get exactly the problem Clyburn was pointing out. The other notion that the right wing loves to spout is that of means-testing. They’re saying that they want to make sure that well-off people aren’t soaking the taxpayers. Except that I haven’t heard of too many multi-millionaires trying to collect a $2500 SS check. It’s more likely that a retiree on a decent pension will use SS to supplement, which is completely fair and appropriate, given that they’ve paid into the system by that point for at least 30-40 years, if not nearly 50 years. I had an accountant tell me that it may not be legal to run a means test where you tell someone who has paid into the system that they are ineligible to receive anything. My belief is that most wealthy people don’t collect SS for a variety of reasons, including the fact that they don’t need it. It’s also a pile of paperwork for very little return for them. But for someone living on a pension, that return is critical.
My prediction is that the cap will be lifted, an additional payroll tax adjustment will be made, and a long-term gradual age increase will be phased in, with proper exceptions for people who can show that the physical requirements (and tolls) of the work make them eligible earlier. The right wing will continue to rail against the program but since many of their constituents also collect it, they don’t have a real leg to stand on.

2013-02-15 12:46:13 -0500

Both Hannity and Sekulow tried to ignore the only cogent point made during the “discussion”. Juan Williams mentioned that Hagel will definitely be confirmed next week – multiple key GOP senators have made clear they will stop the obstruction. So there is no doubt that he will be the next SecDef.
Which then leads to the question of why they were obstructing the nomination in the first place. Was it really so they could see a piece of paper on which the Obama Admin said that Hillary Clinton spoke to the Libyan President during the attack and that Obama called him the next day? Was it really because they had genuine issues with the nominee? Or was it so they could throw another tantrum and stomp their feet rather than doing their jobs?
Hannity’s careful editing of Hagel’s appearance last month wasn’t enough to remove the clear signs that the GOP senators were on personal vendettas against either Hagel or Obama, or both. Nothing substantive has been raised in their objections – it’s all been petty snipping, particularly the shameful display made by McCain. (Of course, the last time we saw McCain’s temper flare up, he barked at Hannity on air…)

MM is right. Last night EVERYBODY was covering this story, including Hannity devoting something like 20 minutes of his show to discussions about it and phone calls with fans of his who were either on the ship or were waiting for relatives to dock. And not much was happening then either – Hannity was talking at the time the ship was being tugged in. By the time Greta got on the air the ship was at the dock and nothing was happening other than the usual procedures. (And I understand they got the passengers off a heck of a lot faster than they had said it would take.)

I believe Powers simply got caught unaware here. She has done much better in other situations, but I think she simply missed what Hannity was up to in this case. The problem is that she is constantly dealing with him and O’Reilly and after a long period of these shenanigans. she simply missed one. True, she could have shut down Hannity’s argument, and she should have headed him off before he could make a ridiculous political argument about Dorner. But nobody is on their game 24/7. It’s too bad she missed this one, but I strongly doubt Hannity will be able to make much of it.
Perhaps in another year, he’ll try to trot it out, but I have no idea where it will ever be relevant again.

In fairness, Nate Silver noted that the race got closer after President Obama blew the first debate. But after that one moment, the lead opened up again for Obama, and in the end, Silver’s call was actually a bit conservative.
Morris is blowing smoke about Sandy, of course. The fact was that the polls consistently showed that Obama maintained a lead throughout the entire campaign. Sandy just gave him an additional photo op and a boost from Chris Christie at the last second. Romney by that point had tried at least five times to reintroduce himself to the American public, most of whom had already decided not to vote for him.
The number of actual undecided and independent voters was quite small, which the polls consistently showed. Most people had made up their minds before September. What the debates did was clarify who the remaining undecideds thought they would choose, and even that turned out to be ephemeral. Of course, at that time, those numbers appeared to be bigger than they were.
In the end, the GOP candidates were undone by the extreme positions taken by some of the candidates and by the stiffness and unlikeability of their main candidate. Dick Morris has no business talking about moderation now, given that he regularly went on the air to promote the most extreme candidates he could.

Malkin embarassed herself on Hannity last night, where she was unable to debate Juan Williams with anything other than rolling her eyes and trying to interrupt him with non-factual hyperbole. Her blatant anger was probably fueled by the fact that she had to be on air with Williams, given that he corrected her wild statements in a debate last year. The fact that she brought up his statement of her not being a “real reporter” (and she isn’t) shows that she hasn’t gotten over that humiliation yet.

Amazing that we couldn’t even get out of January before O’Reilly and Brit Hume would already be predicting doom for President Obama and discussing how the GOP would rise again. This is the same playbook they were using for the last three years. As a newsflash, I think they may have forgotten that Obama really was re-elected, the GOP really did lose and lose big, and it turned out the polls really weren’t wrong all along.
And yet, here’s Brit Hume, fresh from bashing Hillary Clinton on her way out of the State Department, fresh from bashing anything Obama does, and what’s his conclusion: that Obama will alienate voters, who are sure to sweep GOP candidates to office. Except that Brit predicted this for the election we just had. How’d that work out?
And yet, sure as the sun will rise again, here’s Karl Rove with his white board, scrambling to get everyone to believe they can still somehow defeat Obama, even though he can’t run for office again.
And all of this ignores the near complete civil war going on inside the GOP today. Projection and distraction, thy name may well be Fox…
Of course, this also ignores that Rush Limbaugh has continued his temper tantrum into this year, going with the interesting new thought that “low information voters” are the people who showed up to vote Obama in for a second term rather than doing what Limbaugh had convinced himself would happen. It’s a novel concept – blame the voter. Wonder how that’ll work out…

I believe you’ll see changes in a couple of months. They’ll wait to see if the downward trend continues, particularly after they continue to bang the drum of whatever they can about President Obama. The one whose ratings have dropped the most is Greta, and I’ve heard somewhere else about the notion of them dropping her program and putting in a new show with Megyn Kelly instead.
Part of this is also a matter of the very expensive contracts already drawn up with various people. I thought that both O’Reilly and Hannity were re-upped last year for multi-year deals at a high price tag. I doubt anything happens with those two guys at all. Not sure about The Five. Seems to me that’s the easiest show they could drop if they really get in a pinch.

It’s pretty clear that David Limbaugh is desperate to make his own name for himself with the right wingers. What he did in this segment was almost completely nonsensical. He reiterated attack points on President Obama from 2010 Tea Party Rallies and then he jumped forward to blame Mitt Romney’s humiliation on “the media” rather than on Romney’s own failings. Juan Williams correctly responded by laughing at the ridiculousness of the statements and by asking Limbaugh if he’d been able to get over the election from last November. Limbaugh sputtered frantically over that and wound up with a version of “I know you are but what am I?”
