THE "FAST AND FURIOUS" ROAD TO PERDITION TAKEN BY THE LAME STREAM MEDIA PRESSTITUTES


U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder may have lied to Congress when he stated in May 2011 that he did not know about the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) "Operation Fast and Furious" (OFF), until a few weeks before his testimony before Congress.  This is a story largely being ignored by the Lame Stream Media. For the uninitiated, "OFF" is a sting operation run by the ATF between 2009 and 2010.  OFF was part of the bigger Project Gunrunner investigation into illegal gun trafficking that is mostly benefiting drug cartels. The purpose of the OFF sting operation was to let suspected straw man purchasers complete weapons purchases and smuggle them into Mexico. The ATF hoped to build a case against various Mexican criminal and drug organizations suspected of being the ultimate weapons buyers.

Documents obtained by CBS News (surprise), show that Holder knew about the operation as early as July of 2010.  The documents as described on the CBS website are:
But never mind that the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States might be a perjurer.  Never mind that one of the guns smuggled into Mexico under his watch was used in the murder of a Border Patrol Agent.  We already know that Holder played racial politics in his dismissal of the 2008 Philadelphia Black Panthers voter intimidation caseYet, the Lame Stream Media, for the most part, has not made much ado about any of these matters involving an Obama henchman.  You see, selective morality is the guiding "principle" of the Lame Stream Media.  Democrats, Liberals, or any group that can be of assistance to the Liberal Fascist agenda are protected.

But the Lame Stream Media is more concerned about a rock located on leased land with a painted over racial epithet. Never mind the continuing parade of serious legal offenses of the Obama Administration.  Apparently, GOP Presidential candidate, Rick Perry and his Dad didn't paint or turn over the offending rock soon enough to suit the prissy presstitutes.  The rock is on property leased, by among others, the Perry family and used as a hunting camp by them.  According to Slate E-zine, Perry has pushed back regarding the recent Washington Post hit piece about the offending rock that is substantiated primarily by "anonymous sources."  As an aside, "anonymous sources" are often the "BFFs" of agenda driven reporters.  (This is not to imply that the Washington Post reporter did anything wrong in putting together her story.)  The Slate story said:
When asked further about the rock and when it was painted over, the presidential candidate said first that his father painted over the rock in 1983, then gave a more detailed account, according to the Post:
“My mother and father went to the lease and painted the rock in either 1983 or 1984. This occurred after I paid a visit to the property with a friend and saw the rock with the offensive word. After my visit I called my folks and mentioned it to them, and they painted it over during their next visit.”
The governor’s campaign says the story was misleading however, according to Politico. A statement on his website reads:
“"A number of claims made in the story are incorrect, inconsistent, and anonymous, including the implication that Rick Perry brought groups to the lease when the word on the rock was still visible. The one consistent fact in the story is that the word on a rock was painted over and obscured many years ago.” [Emphasis added]
Ignored by the intrepid Washington Post reporter is the fact that the property was leased.  As anybody that has ever rented an apartment knows there's not a whole lot that a lessee can do to alter a leased property--good or bad.  And it is conceivable that the trust could have sued the Perrys for committing waste upon the leased premises by painting the rock over.  A funny twist to the waste concept is that you can be sued for damages for making an improvement to a leased property.  So one could argue that the Perrys committed waste, yet improved the property, by painting over the offensive epithet shortly after they joined the lease.  Remember that the tagged rock was around before the Perrys joined the lease.  The property was widely known in the area by its pejorative name "N***** Head."

But if there was a responsibility to have painted or done something about the offensive word on the rock it was with the trust that owned the property.  According to the above-cited Washington Post article:
The camp is secluded, situated on a vast, 42,000-acre ranch that reaches into three counties and is owned and managed by the Hendrick Home for Children Trust. Various parcels of the Hendrick ranch, as it is known, have been leased out over the years for grazing cattle, oil drilling and, since the mid-1970s or so, hunting. All sorts of people have been on the winding, rocky ranch roads over the years — cowboys, ranchers, hunters, fishermen, oil workers, power company workers, wildlife biologists, real estate agents, tax assessors, surveyors, locals and outsiders who have visited the hunting camps that dot the property.  [Emphasis added]
What the Washington Post would have you believe is that it was Perry's sole responsibility to have remedied the offensive rock, which his family did do.  Despite the fact that "all sorts of people"  had numerous opportunities to complain to the landowner-trust, it's still Bush's Perry's fault that the epithet was there.  But that's the selective morality of the Lame Stream Media presstitutes

The Lame Stream Media's lazy, weak, and deceptive reportage makes My Weekly Reader (now called the Weekly Reader), look like a Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper.  The average Lame Stream Media reporter also makes Weekly Reader comic strip characters Peanut and Jocko look like Woodward and BernsteinThink of the big stories ignored or covered up by the presstitutes.  Like Obama's background, e.g., his questionable relationships with convicted felon Tony Rezko and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers that were ignored or covered up.  And can we see his grades to see if he's as smart as the Democrat party hacks say he is?  Funny how the presstitutes spent more time looking for an picture of an allegedly  coked up George W. Bush playing air guitar in his underwear than they did vetting Obama.   By the way, Obama admits to cocaine use in his book, but no one recalls the presstitutes ever questioning that behavior.

But journalistic malaise isn't limited to the national news media.  For years in San Diego, (a.k.a. Scam Diego), ALL of the snooze media, print and electronic, ignored or buried the pension scandal that first brewed under Republican Mayor Susan Golding's leadership.  Maybe it's time to have a consumer's revolt against the shoddy journalistic practices of the Lame Stream Media.  Otherwise, journalistic ethics is just another oxymoron.

CHRIS CHRISTIE RECONSIDERS or CHRIS CHRISTIE REDUX--AGAIN!


Unlike the flirtatious Scarlett O'Hara playing romantic peekaboo games with numerous suitors in the opening scene of Gone With the Wind (GWTW), there's something creepy  about Chris Christie playing a coy courtesan as he flirts with running for President.  At least with Scarlett, there was a definite strategy in playing one suitor against another.  She could land a wealthy husband and nobody  got hurt, i.e., no taxpayers were harmed in the making of GWTW.  But Christie's political-eye-batting-come-on seems downright narcissistic and indecisive.  His umpteenth denial that he's running will come at a press conference today.  The last thing we should want in a President is an indecisive narcissist.  Why you might ask?  We've been there, done that, and don't want to do it again in 2012.  But at least Christie isn't wearing Mom Jeans as he flirts shamelessly with party elders and big time GOP donors.  Way back when Presidents didn't regularly "dis" the country, my Dad worked with a retired Navy man from Alabama. "The Captain" as he was known, was a crafty marketing guy that used to describe upcoming "dog and pony shows" to potential customers  as an opportunity "to open up the kimono and tantalize them a bit!"  "The Captain" knew a little bit about skillful salesmanship.  This is not the case with Chris Christie.

The usual reason given for the intense interest in Christie is that the current GOP Presidential field is weak.  Query: As compared to what?  Obama has become in two and one half insufferable years the worst President ever.  The previous holder of the title, Jimmy Carter looks downright statesmanlike in comparison, but not quite enough to erect billboards saying "Miss me?"  Funny thing, but the only people that seem to be disappointed in the Republican field are the leftist pundits and water carriers for Barack Hussein Obama.  Personally, I like this field because all of them are far more capable than Obama.  Even the eccentric Ron Paul has his merits.  In the GOP primary process, it may turn out that while you might not vote for a particular candidate for President, a lot of them would make strong cabinet members, i.e.,  a good management team.  I could easily see Michele Bachmann as Commissioner of the IRS.  Herman Cain would make a good Secretary of Commerce. Mitt Romney would make either a good Secretary of the Treasury or better yet, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.  There's a lot of common sense in the GOP field.  But more importantly, there's experience that goes beyond the posting of handbills on telephone poles announcing a community gripe session.  Unlike the current occupant of the White House, all of these current candidates also have solid records of regularly showing up for work.

We can't say that we've got a good management team in Obama, his VP Biden,  or his Cabinet.  Vice-President Joe Biden is, to paraphrase former VP John Nance Garner's comment about the Vice-Presidency, "...not worth a bucket of warm spit." (According to Sydney Blumenthal, as cited in Wikipedia, Garner actually said "warm piss."  That sounds more like what a hard core Texan like Garner would have said. )   It's also a cruel cosmic joke to have tax cheat Tim Geithner running the Treasury department, which by the way, includes the IRS.  At least two of Obama's appointees are ardent admirers of mass murderer Mao Zedong.  Eric Holder is a joke as the U.S. Attorney General, i.e., Holder is to the law what woodpeckers are to carpentry.  He should be immediately sent away to some backwoods hollow to be a Judge Roy Bean-like dispenser of injustice.  

But is Christie the answer to our current national malaise?  Well, until Christie shows a little more than what's inside his slightly open kimono, (I know it's bad optics), we'll just have to let the process play itself out.  Let's also hope that the Democrats and the Main Stream Media presstitutes won't be picking a GOP caninedate in 2012, just as they did in 1996 and 2008.  We'll see today at Christie's press conference at 1 p.m., EDT whether or not he'll be running for "Best in Show" in 2012.  But don't think that this flirtation is over.
