    Video: Letterman Stays Classy – Mocks Sarah Palin’s Daughter as “Knocked Up”

    From last night’s David Letterman Show on CBS

    The Sarah Palin is in New York attack by David Letterman began last night in Letterman’s monologue.

    Mocking Sarah Palin who is a POL is one thing but her daughter? I would think Todd and David might have more than a few words.

    Letterman, always the MORON, cannot seem to get enough of the ‘Cuda’s clan.

    Exit suggestion: How about a boycott of Letterman’s CBS sponsors?

    I think it is coming even as Letterman renews his CBS contract.

    Sarah Palin’s Trip to New York – Updating That “SLUTTY” Flight Attendant Look

    From last night’s David Letterman Show on CBS

    Once Sarah Palin left Alaska and resumed a national media presence, you know the LEFT was going to denigrate her – all over again.

    I don’t really watch Letterman because I think he is a MORON but he has resorted to even a lower “cheap shot” blow to Palin than Saturday Night Live.

    OK, let’s hear from all of the LEFT’S women activists who will call out Letterman for being shallow and crass.

    Crickets……

    Katie Couric and CBS Television News Rating Plummets to Obama Channel – NBC

    Couric-falls-in-ratings

    Guess Katie Couric better hope she can see Sarah Palin from her mansion soon, right?

    NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams was the #1 evening newscast again last week with a more than 800,000 viewer lead over #2 World News with Charles Gibson. And with an average of 5.18M Total Viewers, the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric had its lowest viewership yet. In fact, it’s the lowest viewership since at least the 1991/92 season, as far back as Nielsen records track.

    • Total Viewers: NBC: 7,960,000 / ABC: 7,150,000 / CBS: 5,180,000
    • 25-54 demo: NBC: 2,380,000 / ABC: 2,030,000 / CBS: 1,590,000

    NBC Nightly News featured exclusive interviews of President Barack Obama last week: Inside the Obama White House.

    Look for ABC and CBS to scramble for some Obama time.

    And, Katie – stay classy, “Dont Be a Hater”, OK?

    Joe Biden Gaffes His Way Through Economic Stimulus Tunnel

    Biden

    Vice President Joe Biden is the gift that keeps on giving to the GOP.

    That new tunnel? The one NJ Transit has been touting for years? That the Federal Transit Administration made a huge commitment to on Monday?

    It’s for cars.

    Or so Vice President Biden apparently thinks.

    Biden had just finished telling reporters on a conference call Monday that federal stimulus money might have gone out slower in the past few months than some people liked because, “We don’t end up with any major glitches.”

    Then The Record had a chance to ask about an environmental group’s complaint that Amtrak would not be able to use the new Hudson River tunnel – which is benefitting from a provision of the stimulus bill increasing the Federal Transit Administration’s debt limit — because it doesn’t go to Penn Station.

    Biden said Amtrak was getting its share of stimulus money and more projects would be announced in a few days. Then he offered this:

    “Look, this is designed, this totally new tunnel, is designed to provide for automobile traffic,” Biden said. “It’s something, as you know, up your way, that’s been in the works and people have been clamoring for for a long time.”

    For the record, the tunnel is for trains, and its completion would allow for more NJ Transit trains during peak hours and “one-seat” rides into Midtown Manhattan on lines serving Bergen and Passaic counties. Currently riders on those lines must switch trains.

    It doesn’t help that Biden has already made numerous GAFFES like here and here and here.

    What a blowhard.

    Is anyone thinking tht Obama should have chosen Hillary as Vice President?

    Poll Watch: 62 Per Cent Say President Obama Should NOT Meet with Iran Until It Stops Its Nuclear Weapons Program

    ramireztoon051909

    Political cartoon by Michael Ramirez


    So, says the latest Rasmussen Poll.

    Sixty-two percent (62%) of U.S. voters say Iran should be required to stop developing its nuclear weapons capabilities before a meeting is allowed between the Iranian president and the president of the United States, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

    This finding is up six points – from 56% – in late January just after President Obama signaled a willingness to talk to his Iranian counterpart without preconditions. A year ago, 59% agreed with the Bush administration position that Iran must stop its nuclear weapons program before direct talks were possible.

    Just 23% of voters now say a meeting between the two presidents should go ahead without any preconditions, and 15% are not sure.

    Eighty percent (80%) of Republicans and 60% of voters not affiliated with either major party believe Iran must first halt its nuclear weapons production. Democrats are more closely divided, with 49% favoring this precondition but 31% saying it’s not necessary.

    Conservatives are nearly twice as likely as liberals to say Iran must halt its nuclear weapons program before talks between Obama and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are possible.

    Of course, Iran, which sits on an ocean of oil, denies it is enriching uranium for weapons production. But, remember Obama during the campaign promised to talk to Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs without preconditions and then backed away from his statement.

    Where Obama stands today is anyone’s guess?

    But, American voters clearly vote for pre-conditions.

    Shocker: North Korea Uses “NUCLEAR BLACKMAIL” – Will Use Nuclear Weapons in Merciless Offensive

    North-Korea-Nuke-threat

    Not such a shock is it?

    North Korea today said it would use nuclear weapons in a “merciless offensive” if provoked — its latest bellicose rhetoric apparently aimed at deterring any international punishment for its recent atomic test blast.

    The tensions emanating from Pyongyang are beginning to hit nascent business ties with the South: a Seoul-based fur manufacturer became the first South Korean company to announce Monday it was pulling out of an industrial complex in the North’s border town of Kaesong.

    The complex, which opened in 2004, is a key symbol of rapprochement between the two Koreas but the goodwill is evaporating quickly in the wake of North Korea’s nuclear test on May 25 and subsequent missile tests.

    Pyongyang raised tensions a notch by reviving its rhetoric in a commentary in the state-run Minju Joson newspaper today.

    “Our nuclear deterrent will be a strong defensive means…as well as a merciless offensive means to deal a just retaliatory strike to those who touch the country’s dignity and sovereignty even a bit,” said the commentary, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

    It appeared to be the first time that North Korea referred to its nuclear arsenal as “offensive” in nature. Pyongyang has long claimed that its nuclear weapons program is a deterrent and only for self-defense against what it calls US attempts to invade it.

    The tough talk came as South Korea and the US lead an effort at the UN Security Council to have the North punished for its nuclear test with tough sanctions.

    The Obama Administration has botched the North Korean situation while they fire off a nuclear test and various missiles, including an ICBM tht could potentially hit the United States.

    American “weakness” in foreign policy breeds aggression by foreign nations that have evil intent.

    President Bush at least had North Korea stymied and negotiating while dismantliung programs.

    Under Obama, North Korea has stepped up its missile program and re-initiated manufacture of nuclear weapons.

    The Obama foreign policy has been a collosal failure. And, what are they talking about now?

    Sending New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson to North Korea to negotiate. WOW! Kim Jong-Il must be quaking in his boots.

    Get ready for another test of a Taepadong-2, ICBM missile at any time.

    Day By Day by Chris Muir

    As in love and politics there is always regret. And, now it seems Americans are already starting to regret their decision to place Barack Obama in the White House.

    It takes a while for the voters to remember the over-regulation and government grabs/excesses of a Democrat Administration. But, remember they do and obvious it is.

    The honeymoon for the Obama Administration is definitely over and the President will learn to either perform or get out of the way.

    links for 2009-06-09

    • Over the weekend a draft of Senator Kennedy’s (D-MA) health care bill leaked. After playing with Adobe Acrobat, here is the text of the draft Kennedy bill as a text file (173 K), and as a single Acrobat file (3.4 MB). Update: I fixed the broken link to the PDF. Unlike the leaked version, both of these are searchable.

      Calling it the “Kennedy” bill is something of an overstatement. Senator Kennedy chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions committee, and his staff wrote the draft. By all reports, however, Chairman Kennedy’s health is preventing him from being heavily involved in the drafting. Senator Reid has designated Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) to supervise the process, but as best I can tell, it’s really the Kennedy committee staff who are making most of the key decisions. For now I will call it the Kennedy-Dodd bill.

    • As local cities and counties put together their applications for some of their first tastes of stimulus money, they've come up with block grant applications where the typical project costs less than $250,000.

      The city of Covington, for example, has broken down its line items as small as $1,650 each – to replace 117 curb ramps in the neighborhood around Decoursey and Winston avenues, to make them handicapped-accessible. Cincinnati is giving out grants as small as $8,556 for a program to prevent teen pregnancy and violence.

      The list of local applications for the Community Development Block Grants also includes $61,200 for sidewalks in Forest Park, $93,000 for air conditioners in Sharonville and $56,008 for playground renovations in Hamilton.

    • Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he's "happy" illegal immigrants get state services and says they're not to blame for California's $24.3 billion budget gap.
      Schwarzenegger, an immigrant himself, says the estimated $4 billion to $5 billion the state spends on illegal immigrants annually is a "small percentage" of the deficit.

      The Republican governor told The Sacramento Bee's editorial board on Friday that it's easy to "scapegoat" illegal immigrants. But he says the state's budget has a much deeper spending imbalance.

      He noted the federal government requires California to provide emergency health care and education to illegal immigrants. And he says illegal immigrants often help pick the state's crops and construct its buildings.

    • While 67% of Americans view President Barack Obama favorably, his overall job approval rating and his ratings on specific areas are less positive. At the low end of the spectrum, only 45% of Americans approve of Obama's handling of federal spending, and 46% of his handling of the federal budget deficit.

    • Meanwhile, White House aides must be concerned about the Twitter message sent by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) over the weekend: "Pres Obama you got nerve while u sightseeing in Paris to tell us"time to deliver" on health care. We still on skedul/even workinWKEND."

      Grassley added: "When you are a "hammer" u think evrything is NAIL I'm no NAIL."

      First Read: "Obama has been working over Grassley hard, so this criticism from him must be very frustrating. While no one in the White House expects Grassley to be a Republican who will sign on to the entire Obama health-care agenda, they do have hopes he'll be someone Senate Finance Chair Max Baucus can work with to write a bill that can at least bring over a few moderate GOP senators. "

    • The Obama administration entered office determined to give negotiations with North Korea every opportunity. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hinted that she was seriously considering a visit to Pyongyang. Stephen Bosworth, a distinguished scholar and moderate diplomat, was appointed principal negotiator.

      These overtures were vituperatively rejected. Pyongyang refuses to return to the negotiating table and has revoked all its previous concessions. It has restarted the nuclear reprocessing plant it had mothballed and has conducted nuclear weapons and missile tests. It has said the Korean Armistice Agreement of 1953 no longer applies.

    • The Federal Reserve announced a $1.2 trillion plan three months ago designed to push down mortgage rates and breathe life into the housing market.

      But this and other big government spending programs are turning out to have the opposite effect. Rates for mortgages and U.S. Treasury debt are now marching higher as nervous bond investors fret about a resurgence of inflation.

      That's the Catch-22 threatening to make an awful housing market potentially worse and keep the economy stuck in a funk. Kick-starting the economy requires higher spending, but rising rates mean fewer Americans will be able to refinance their home loans. And some potential buyers will be shut out of the market by higher monthly payments they won't be able to afford.

    • President Barack Obama wants Congress to consider taxing the wealthy instead of workers to pay for a health-care overhaul, as House Democrats discuss a plan to require health insurance for most Americans.

      The Obama administration stepped up efforts to influence health-care legislation today as advisers David Axelrod and Austan Goolsbee appeared on television talk shows to discuss the issue.

      The president is trying to avoid broad-based levies such as a Senate proposal to tax some employer-provided health benefits Axelrod said. Instead he is urging lawmakers to reconsider limiting all tax deductions for Americans in the highest tax brackets.

      “He made a very strong case for the proposal that he put on the table, which was to cap deductions for high-income Americans, and he urged them to go back and look at that,” Axelrod said on the CNN’s “State of the Union.”
