ABC’s Charlie Gibson Must Have Alzheimer’s

After watching Charlie Gibson’s interview with Republican VP Nominee Sarah Palin, I am convinced that Gibson has Alzheimer’s. There were several questions that he felt the need to repeat. Although Gibson is so clever and condescending that he was changed a couple of words in the repetition phrase hoping that Gov. Palin wouldn’t recognize the “new” question.

Now there are a couple of reasons why someone would repeat the same question multiple times. First, he didn’t hear the answer that was given the first time. Therefore he needs to get his hearing checked or pay closer attention. Second, he did not get answer that he was hoping for which would display a supercilious attitude. Third, he was trying to trap Governor Palin and we know this could not be the case because we know that Gibson is an experienced and responsible newsman whose only agenda is to inform us and not influence us.

Unfortunately, there is one, further deep concern that we have for Mr. Gibson. It is possible that he may be going insane. If the definition of insanity is constant repetition of the same task with the anticipation of different results, then surely Mr. Gibson is head down the path to the nut house.

Pickin' the Winners

Do you ever wonder how some people get in the positions they are in? Sometimes they say or do the dumbest things. It seems like they have their head up their ass. Here's a classic example:

On Tuesday Hillary received an endorsement from the United Transportation Union, the same group that endorsed John Kerry in 2004. (Keep that in mind!) And then the union guru and smart man, Paul Thompson, said "The UTU has a long history of picking winners early. Hillary will be a President that America's working families can count on."

Most of the time we don't have to work hard for our material.

Castro Sends in his Absentee Ballot

I head a report last night from Glenn Beck that Fidel Castro has called for a Hillary Clinton - Barack Obama ticket in 2008. Castro called the pairing "invincible." So in light of that I paid particular attention to the network news shows, ABC and CBS in particular. (In AZ we seen a Glenn Beck broadcast at 4pm then get the national news.) The question: would they enlighten us of this critical political endorsement from the man who called Jimmy Carter the greatest American President?

The answer: Of course not!

But I would be willing to bet a sleeve of golf balls that if Castro took a liking to Rudy or Mit it would be the lead story.

Gee, can ya tell which way they lean?
