Wanted: Headline Writer

I'm thinking JournalismJobs.com should be put in an ad for a new headline writer. Just saying:

The Presumptuous Media

The day after the Tuesday primary I was commenting on a blog declaring that the Democratic Primary was over, Sen. Clinton had lost! I was repeating what I heard on the cable news networks the night before: However, now that I've gotten the chance to think about it I think all this talk about it being over is premature. I'm going to defend her on this point: I think the media has been unfair to her by declaring that the contest is over. Most importantly they have been unfair to the voters who still have not had their say in this election. Simple truth is it not over, neither has reached the necessary delegates. Also, there are still more people left to vote. I'm not saying she has a good chance of winning because the pledged delegate count and the number of super delegates flocking to Obama's corner shows she doesn't. However, for news magazines and political pundits to declare this thing as over is irresponsible. The media shouldn't tell us when a candidate is done until the political process has played itself out and in this case it just hasn't. Sen. Clinton is still in the race and it looks like she has some wins in the future. Politico has a story of Lanny Davis, a Clinton supporter, saying he thinks CNN has treated her unfair. Exit question: If Sen. Clinton somehow manages to get the nomination, wouldn't these news outlets look incredibly presumptuous?

Yes We Can....... Ask

Hey, Did You Know Hillary is Like Bush?

It appears my continued series, "Hey, Did You Know McCain is Like Bush," has turned into "Hey, Did You Know Hillary is Like Bush." Last night The Daily Show turned a photo of Hillary Clinton into George Bush and then put demon eyes on him: Never mind that they are at the opposite ends of the political spectrum, to an ultra-liberal like Jon Stewart that doesn't matter. She talks tough so she must be a war-loving Republican. But remember this show has no agenda. Exit question: Has anyone seen an episode of The Daily Show where they put demon eyes on Bin Laden? Just wondering.

Today John McCain announced a new Spanish website. I thought I would take the time to look at what the presidential candidates Spanish version sites look like:

Too Much Like Bush: The Hillary Clinton Edition

My readers know I'm running a segment on my blog called "Hey, Did you Know McCain is Like Bush?" The funny thing is McCain is not the only presidential candidate who's too much like Bush, according Sen. Obama: Barack Obama likened Hillary Rodham Clinton to President Bush for threatening to "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacks Israel and called her gas-tax holiday a gimmick as he tried to fend off her challenge ahead of two pivotal Democratic primaries. Clinton, in turn, stood by both her comment on Iran and her tax proposal as she gave chase to the front-runner in Indiana and North Carolina. Actually, I don't think I've read about any modern U.S. president threatening to "totally obliterate" another country.
