that huge right wing conspiracy strikes again
I was in the gym last night in my continual effort to be a healthier Lumberyard guy, watching the TV because it was there, and watching what everyone else was watching, because I was being polite, and not barging in and changing channels.
What everyone else was watching was CNN. Basically, CNN is to the radical left what Fox News is to the radical right. Neither is that far out on the fringe, but they court those audiences and confound those who don't see things their way. The love fest for Hillary and Obama was in full swing as the Texas and Ohio primaries were dissected every which way but conservative, and this piece of drivel got thrown into the mix.
Those hated right wing talk show hosts are flexing their muscle again. They all implored Texas Republicans to vote for Hillary, so the Democratic race remains tight and she and Obama will keep sniping at each other and keep their attention off McCain. Apparently, that was their explanation for why Hillary was doing well in Texas.
I have to be missing something somewhere. If right wing talk show hosts had any muscle to flex, would John McCain be more than an afterthought in the Republican race for a nominee? If anything, this spring has shown what little influence those people really have. In their eyes, he is the anti-Christ. Are we saying the same people who claim they'd vote Democrat before voting for McCain are now looking for ways to help his campaign? They may actually have. I wouldn't know. I don't listen to them. Do we really think their audience, who supposedly hates John McCain (because of course, they are right wing lemmings with no brain of their own) will now spend an hour or two of their day in line at the polls to vote for Hillary Clinton, in an effort to bolster his chances?
Sometimes...well...lots of times, the talking heads just mystify me.
On top of it, while they were spewing this nonsense, I could hear a tiny bit of American Idol on the other side of the gym..just enough to recognize the song, but not enough to appreciate it. Someone was singing Hallelujah and from what little I could hear, doing a pretty good job of it. One of the few decent moments in a show I'm not particularly fond of, and I missed it because the CNN boobs are proving themselves to be ultra maroons.
