A Connecticut Democrat Primary Voter Headed For the Polls

The national Democrat Party yesterday unceremoniously and unsurreptitiously cut one of its last remaining tethers to Reality, embodied as the overarching unreconstructed Liberal, save on but one issue, who just six years prior was designated the #2 overall Donkey.

For having the audacity to consistently defend America’s right to exist, and his refusal to take part in his fellows’ pseudo-intellectual parlor game of retroactively substituting Iraqi hindsight for forethought, Joe Lieberman’s associate Burros and the online electronic apparatchik deemed him Public Servant Enemy #1, and yesterday succeeded in reaching the Party’s conversionary conclusion, from once the home of Jacksons Andrew and Scoop to its now being but the elective branch of MoveOn.org. (Another Jackson, Jesse the Poverty Pimp, would feel even more right at home here now; however, thankfully, his time, and his jig, is mostly up.)

The New York Times, its rhymes and reasons

The New York Times Newsroom

In its latest turn around the mulberry bush, the weasely New York Times has yet again brandished its First Amendment rights (even as it has long since lost its First Amendment bona fides) with another story of negligible newsworthiness but of egregious deleteriousness to something about which it apparently could not care less, national security.

With its decision to ignore the myriad requests of George W. Bush Administration officials, House and Senate Intelligence Committee members (Republicans and Democrats both), as well as members of the 9-11 Commission (which the Times until very recently had held in such sacrosanct regard, right up until the moment they at the once agreed with President Bush) and make public the effort to track terrorist coin as it spanned the globe, the Times has completed for us the conversionary intellectual process, whereby one goes from pondering whether or not the Grey Lady wishes us ill in the pushback against global Caliphatic oblivion to being morally certain that they do.

To the Right, Naturally

What was on January 20, 2001, less than exemplary news for the greater conservative nation was a change for the better in Lone Star State governance, as Lieutenant Governor Rick Perry rose via the process of orderly succession to succeed the newly minted President George W. Bush in the Texas executive mansion. What began by default procedural ascension has become one of the most consistently conservative tenures in recent American political history.

Arriving in Austin alongside the new Governor was a Texas Senate controlled by Republicans for the first time since Reconstruction. But, saddled with a wayward lieutenant governor in David Dewhurst, whose actions then and now indicate he wishes to be some sort of political hybrid of Arlen Specter and John McCain, and a still-Donkey dominated House, the 2001 legislative session was less than stellar in conservative execution.

As you, Gentle Readers, will recall, on February 8th of this glorious year we cited the Austin American-Statesman for journalistic stuttering:

It Is Rare That This Immediate A Redux Is Required

This is, of course, in addition to the recently adduced similar bit of Press repetitiveness:

Is the Dallas Morning News' Jeffers, Jr., Cognizant of the Fact That He Is Robbing Himself Blind?
