I just finished reading the Sunday opinion section for post election
commentary, and the results are pretty much what I would expect from
the usual suspects and a few contra opinions from those who really
understood. There were the expected "the voters are ddduuummmbbb" "the
Bible thumpers are in control" and "imbecilic war" columns. There was
one neutral column, and a total of three in favor of the results. The
really positive note came with two separate columns (both Democrats
concerned for their party) that stressed how far out of touch the
party has become with the average citizen. Of course we had the usual
laugh from Molly Ivins who is convinced that GWB is responsible for
the slow withdrawal of Vioxx from the drug market. This is not even in
the news category: Everyone knows that Republicans are responsible for
all evils, and Molly never lets us forget it.
I listened to Rush Limbaugh today. I don't always agree with Rush, but
I get more real information from one of his programs that most other
programs. Rush is prone to gloat and to beat his own drum, but I can
ignore that. He has a superb news gathering staff, and his satire is
really good. Today (in addition to beating his own drum with recent
speeches of his own) he played lengthy excerpts from Carole ???? a
newswoman. The net effect was her complaint that young people these
days hang on cell phones and never listen to the standard news
sources. The reason, of course: their parents have been dumbed down
and are passing their stupidity on to their children!
At least the leftists won't have John Ashcroft to kick around any longer.
