Bill Maher Gets on His Knees For Sarah Palin

That's right, that is this dems fantasy.

Hey, the lady gets to talk.

Bashing Bill O'Reilly daily, there is just so much material, for a liberal left blog but giving credit where credit was due seemed appropriate.

Bill said on more than one occasion he wanted Mrs. Palin on his show but she just was not willing to take the option.

Who's driving the media car now.......

While Chris Matthews loves to go on about his education, his experience and his intellect he might want to take time to realize Sarah Palin has the media savvy of Princess Diana--the likes of which he does not.

Who is actually out there in television listening land, who are the folks? Is it all political Washington zealots like Chris--or do the midwestern conservative moms and cooks prevail. Let the political conversation move forward with cooks and moms and men and women of both parties.

Bill O'Reilly, in all of his arrogance, apparently realized a change had to take place if he wanted to reach his often stated goal of interviewing Sarah on his show.

Sarah Palin: sought after by the media......

He knew he had to let her talk without trying to annihilate her as he bragged more than one time about his interview with former New Mexico governor, Bill Richardson. Is it a wonder why anyone would not want to go on his show.

You have got to keep your mouth shut or you are going to go without.

Well, Bill learned his lesson and Sarah went on his show, talked about her political goals for the Tea Party, what the Tea Party stood for, her recent go-round with MSNBC's Martin Bashir, and also shared her recipes. Bill gave a chuckle as if that was not important--dem or repub, this lady loves to cook and that's important info on this blog.

Women get to talk without a sexual slur--a slur Mr.Maher said, as if he thought he was justified because he was funny. A statement that had no real answer. How should Sarah Palin have responded to the horrific thing Bill Maher said. There was no reasonable response or retaliation and as a lady that loves to talk and say her political opinion it was really resented.

Democratic Ball and Chain, Bill Maher...

Well, will he ever learn? Will he take a lesson from Bill O'Reilly? Can he ever be humble and forgo an opportunity for humor. As if he is not already super funny and successful--was his comment really necessary. Does Bill Maher realize Sarah Palin is controlling the media now--even with her outrageous statements--isn't that what all the big mouth guys are after, anyway--media attention.

Take a lesson Mr. Maher from you adversary Bill O'Reilly and let's see who can top him in ratings.

That's this dems fantasy--looking for humility from Bill Maher.

Hey Boys, Mrs. Sarah Palin is Talking Now!

While my politics are opposite of Ms. Palin I support her right to say her opinion

in the media just like all of the big mouth men. Bill, Martin and Chris Matthews are so busy congratulating themselves on their own intellect they fail to realize that Sarah has out smarted them all. She is a media manager to rival the likes of Princess Diana. Guess what, boys, you are busy groveling after her and asking for her attention. Who is in the media now. Oh, and don't forget the biggest fool of all, Bill Maher.

Talking about Bill O'Reilly complaining to Howie Kurtz that Mrs. Palin will not do his show.....

Chris Matthews, holier than thou, can't get the guts to answer.......

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews weighs in on Martin Bashir fiasco. Sort of.

Martin Bashir, in 2007 (Nick Ut/Associated Press)

Put Chris Matthews before a Washington audience, and the guy can riff on a lot of topics. In an appearance yesterday at Barnes & Noble in downtown D.C. to promote his book “Tip and the Gipper: When Politics Worked,” Matthews talked congressional elections, presidential elections, President Kennedy — not to mention the media. On the topic of Fox News and Rupert Murdoch, the cable host said no one really takes too seriously the “fair and balanced” slogan. However: “They believe it’s balancing the rest of the media. And so there’s a sense among the right — it’s still there — if you’re not on the right, you’re a liberal. So if you look like you’re just sort of reading the news, you’re a liberal, unless you['ve] got their attitude. And so, I think that’s the residue of years and years of liberal domination of the mainstream press, which I think is pretty near an end. … I don’t know where Diane Sawyer’s politics are. I don’t know what Brian Williams’s politics are. Or Scott Pelley’s, if he has any. I don’t know what it is. Tell me if you can tell. I can’t tell. I think [George] Stephanopoulos has played it down the middle.”

Moments later, the Erik Wemple Blog* asked Matthews about this week’s MSNBC-centric media news. Martin Bashir, an afternoon host at MSNBC, apologized on Monday to viewers after having suggested that Sarah Palin be subjected to a cruel treatment once forced upon slaves. Palin had previously compared the burdens of public debt to slavery.

The contrite words of Bashir didn’t diminish calls within the media-critic industry for more accountability from MSNBC’s leadership. So we thought we’d ask Matthews about it all. The back and forth:

EWB: Do you have any comments about the trouble that Martin Bashir got himself in?

Matthews: Not really. I work in that company. I don’t have any comment on it. I can understand that you’d ask the question, but I work for MSNBC.

EWB: Well, it’s just a question, though. I mean, he’s a colleague, he said something. You have opinions. You’d have an opinion if someone else worked at another network…

Matthews: I’m not a media critic.

EWB: Oh, yes you are.

Matthews: No, I’m not…He’s a colleague of mine.

We’ll keep an eye out for the next time Matthews hammers some cowardly politician for closing ranks. The noteworthy aspect of Matthews’ dodge is how unnecessary it is. He could easily proclaim that his colleague’s remarks were wholly unacceptable — that they were neither accurate nor fair. Those were the very terms, after all, that Bashir himself used in his apology.

Bill O'Reilly: Meet Al Sharpton

Talking about Al Sharpton........

this is when he seemed quite impressive to me:

.....interviewing a group of advocates in Cleveland during the chaos of the three beautiful girls held hostage in the house of Mr. Castro for several years. The men said "Oh, Hi, Reverend Al....." as if they knew him and they were on a first name basis. The neighborhood group continued to talk to him without fear or nerves--they were able to say what they were thinking as if they were on equal footing with the Reverend.

Making the point that Reverend Al Sharpton does represent and give a voice to a certain working class group of people, just the average citizen, of any color or social orientation that may not otherwise be heard. He has a certain gift to promote conversation and receive information.

On the other hand.....Bill O'Reilly is so busy cutting people off he is interviewing he does not really get the scoop. He doesn't get the get..... When someone he does not like or is afraid of talks he can't handle it. Maybe the person had something important to tell, good info; Bill will not know because he's too busy being arrogant...he does not listen.

or the more important question...is Bill O'Reilly capable of conversation.........

I would say this to Bill or anyone who criticizes Reverend Sharpton........

Perhaps you are not really listening to Al Sharpton, have you watched his show? I do not watch him every day but often right before Chris Mathews, as time permits.

Have you read the opinions of the contributors to the news networks? Many of them say the same thing, including Eric Holder....stand your ground is really not a fair law and not applied fairly. It is hard for me to hear and believe that black fathers have to have a certain conversation with their sons about not running away from the police, including Eric Holder, himself, being stopped running when he was a federal prosecutor.

But not just for a certain culture or group of people, we do not want laws that allow vigilante justice on any kid of any color or any group. Unfortunately, the kids do not always act correctly and have poor judgement or do not live in reality--the other thing I have noticed--the boys are huge and sometimes are quick to fight, and the girls, too. I am not talking about Trayvon Martin, but teenagers, in general--they are kids but we do not want them to die for it.

A little example: Bario Logan, San Diego--the 12 year old boys were often beat up for gang affiliation where I worked; point being--that incident would never happen at the rich white schools. That was shocking news to me and I have lived in middle class white San Diego forever. So I guess it is true--we see the world through a white prism.

What language are they speaking............

The police were constantly questioning the kids, "What tats do you have, who do you back?"

Bill O'Reilly says he is representing the folks, but in reality Al Sharpton is probably more realistically representing the folks. Bill said he is the watchdog looking out for the regular working guy--Bill...meet Al Sharpton.

To CNN--Hire Ann Curry--Put Her in the Big Leagues Where She Belongs

I watch the news all day or I listen to the radio and watch a few shows in the night--I don't know why I am just a news person, always have been.

I previously wrote to you about the compassion often shown from your great reporter, Martin Savidge. You have so many real good journalists in all shapes and sizes and ages. Well, that is the shape of our country, isn't it.

Why not hire Ann Curry and show off her talents. I often write in my blog about the way women are treated. I think it would be good for your network and good for her.

I quit watching shows like "Today" a long time ago, because there is really no substance to those shows. There is no Wolf Blitzer, Candy Crowley Andrea Mitchell, or Chris Mathews, if you know what I mean..........or the one with equally stunning earrings and interview skills, Leslie Stahl.

Does the dinosaur, NBC, really have a grasp on the current thinking and trends of the media today? I would not even consider watching "Today" now, after the way they treat people.

Anyway, just a thought, but I think it would show forward thinking of your network and you would have a real, real good reporter, or even give her a big position or her own show. Put Ann Curry in the big leagues where she belongs.

Respectfully,

Chloelouise
