Why I Get Frustrated

Jump to Comments

I haven’t had a chance to comment on a few things I saw in the media on Thursday.

Is the name Hardball supposed to refer to the fact that going on the show is tantamount to something that is difficult? The only thing difficult on that show is wading through the thick substance created by Chris Matthews’s ego, as far as I can see. Thursday night, I watched an interview with former White House Chief of Staff, Andrew Card. Here’s what one can learn from this “hardball” interview:

  • Card is the second longest serving Chief of Staff, the first being Sherman Adams
  • The President likes Donald Rumsfeld
  • The President is the leader of the Republican Party
  • The President and the First Lady read in bed
  • The President likes the sports page
  • The President will support the Republican nominee in 2008
  • The President likes kids

This ain’t even softball. Wiffleball? Nerfball?

What, is the guy auditioning for Bear Essential News?

After the Clinton rally, I came home and watched TV for a bit to see one of the KOLD newsreaders tease a story about the rally:

Democrats rally, but it was a personality and not politics that brought them out.

Eh?

Yes, it can be admitted that the folks that came out to the rally came out to see Bill Clinton. There probably would not have been so many if it were, say, or something. But to say that it wasn’t “political” was just silly; people were there (’cept for the protestors) to support the Democratic ticket. I don’t know if this represents any “bias” on the part of KOLD, but it was not too insightful.
