I Will Not Read, I Will Not Listen, I Promise

ABC News to its writers: Folks, this election is about ignoring all of Romney's successes, kindness and generosity, and ignoring all of Obama's failures, selfishness and narcissism. Let's get 8 more stories done about "the 47%" this week, and not Bain anymore since that backfired. I'm tired of hearing about all of the jobs Romney actually saved AND created. Focus on important words such as outsourced. If you can do a story combining the words 47% and outsourced, there will be a bonus for you. Now let's go! Oh, and don't forget to pre-write your templates of "Romney's embarrassing gaffes at the debate," so once it's over you can just fill in the blanks.

Okay, folks, before you go, do repeat the oath after me:

I do solemnly swear to focus only on the audio snippets of Romney that government-approved media (that includes us!), and our party dictate, such as 47%, because whatever he meant by that, I am quite sure that more than 47% would never vote for him, so he was inaccurate. And I will waste no energy thinking about how Romney has been successful rebuilding businesses and is a creative entrepreneur and has been generous in a freakish way (it's just not right to earn and give away so much money). Yeah sure, he gave away literally millions of dollars every year for the last 20 years (just gave it away to charity!) but no matter. He did mention 47% in a meeting with "donors." For all we know they're also busy secretly giving away money to charity too! Millions of dollars given away to who knows what charity? Why the secrecy?

I also do solemnly swear not to focus on the different ways Obama's pursuits seem to have failed at every step. The economy continues to fail under him. He didn't show up to vote much while in the Senate even during what he has labeled the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. He didn't show up for intelligence briefings while the Middle East was(is) in flames. I am Democrat, hear me roar. I can blank out large portions of factual information and focus in, only on what is set before me. I can have Ann Coulter on my show as a guest, and not read even portions of her book Mugged, knowing that since I am black and she is not, the case is closed. Say no more! I will not watch any news program that may show Obama in a negative light. Fox news has purportedly played speeches by Obama saying one thing in 2012, and on the same show speeches of Obama saying the exact opposite during the 2007 campaign! This is sneaky, backhanded, and should not be allowed. I do solemnly swear to not listen to Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, Karl Rove <* ewww snarl *>, and especially not any words coming out of Dick Cheney <* double snarl *>. And I agree not to read books such as Ameritopia, Demonic, Liberal Fascism, The Forgotten Man, and especially not Mugged. I will not read them, Sam I Am.

Chris Matthews now a fact-botching comedian

Saw Chris Matthews on the Late Late show with Craig Ferguson, and his comments about Palin and Biden reminded me of why I stopped watching him long ago. Quick to jump on the "Palin is a simpleton" bandwagon, Matthews proved his own ignorance (as did Biden). But most Americans will believe what Chris said - even though it was Biden who stood in front of America and pretended to be wise while telling us that "The idea he (Cheney) doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that's the Executive Branch. He works in the Executive Branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that." Actually Article II covers the Executive Branch. The vice president is the president of the Senate, where he/she interprets the rules and can only be overridden by a vote of 60 senators. Wow! That Constitution is bizarre and dangerous!

"Early vice presidents spent a lot of time in the Senate. Thomas Jefferson even spent his time writing 'A Manual of Parliamentary Practice: for the Use of the Senate of the United States.' Modern vice presidents may show up only when they think tie votes will occur, but that is their choice."

Matthews also went on to completely misquote and mischaracterize what Palin said - that the VP could "control" the Senate, and went on to ridicule her by saying maybe she should check out the job requirements before signing up, or something to that effect. Followed by laughter. Good for you Chris - for helping out with the disinformation campaign. That's what good journalists do, right? Or is he just a comedian now?

Meanwhile Biden, whose answer was factually incorrect, (factually from a different planet) comes off as the hero, the guy whose answer was far less informed than Palin's. Biden also was able to mix in a few terms for Cheney such as dangerous and bizarre. What will really be bizarre is to have Biden as a VP who clearly "doesn't get it"(a favorite line of Democrats this campaign season when talking down to others), and to have Matthews continuing on to pretend to be a journalist.
