Daschle to run for…president?

From the Washington comPost:

Former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle’s interest in public office isn’t necessarily latent: he has set up a new political action committee and plans a Jefferson-Jackson Day speech in the politically pivotal state of Iowa.

Daschle, who was considered a possible candidate for president in 2004, has quietly eschewed most publicity since his defeat to Republican John Thune last November. But Steve Hildebrand, director of the new committee and Daschle’s former campaign manager, said the well-known Democrat from South Dakota “is not going to rule out opportunities to play important roles in public service.”

“It could be president, it could be vice president, it could be something else,” Hildebrand said. “It could be nothing.”

Could be nothing…as in, “What do the folks back in South Dakota think about Tommy?”

I know what you guys are thinking: “He couldn’t even win his home state as the Senate leader of his party, so how can he win his party’s nomination for President?” Valid question, my friends, but you underestimate the sheer ignorance of the Democratic Party.

Think about last year, and the party’s nominee for President: John F’ing Kerry. Here’s the most liberal Senator in the country, a Jane Fonda clone in the Nam protest days, and an inconsequential legislator who had never passed a significant piece of legislation in his life. His only accomplishment since his medals (the ones he threw away…BEFORE he didn’t) was to marry into wealth, which to the left, is somehow more honorable than inheriting it (unless you’re a Kennedy).

Bush was vulnerable last year, no question about it. And the Democrats chose…Jean-Francois Kerry?

Needing to somehow convince the nimrods in red states that they were too supid to properly hear the Democrats’ message, the savior of the Dems turned out to be…Howard “Primal Scream” Dean. He’s since then gone on to notch abysmal donations, insult people in the states he purports to court, and causes enough humiliation to his party that some (not nearly enough) have begun to denounce him or distance themselves from him.

True, Tom Daschle didn’t give a wet fart on a dry January Monday about the people and values of South Dakota, as evidenced by his day-after-Election-Day-2000 encouragement of Al Gore to steal an election from a man who won Daschle’s state by 23%. In that act, Daschle told the people of South Dakota: “Screw you, hayseeds! You need a cultural D.C. elite like me to make this decision for you, since you obviously botched that at the ballot box! Geez, at least the bluehairs in Palm Beach County had an excuse…they couldn’t read!” He fought the man that South Dakota loved (for those of you in blue states, that would be Bush) tooth and nail, and he paid dearly for his arrogance and nosethumbing last November.

However, Daschle wouldn’t run for president for the folks of South Dakota. Hell, he doesn’t live there anymore, and he barely lived there when he was Senator. No, he’d run for the left’s elite and kook base. Therefore, it’s not hard at all to believe he’d run for President, and that his party just may be stupid enough to nominate him.

Dems commit identity theft

Thanks to Michelle Malkin.

Republican Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, who is considering a U.S. Senate bid for the seat being vacated by Maryland Senator Paul Sarbanes, has just been a victim of identity theft

Dem. NY Senator Chuckie Schumer had a pair of staffers, one of which used to do research for David Brock’s leftist and truth-challenged Media Matters (a site that laughably asserts that the MSM isn’t liberal enough), purloined a copy of Steele’s credit report by using his Social Security number, reportedly obtained from public documents. You do know that it is against federal law (for those of you in blue states, that means “it is illegal”) to knowingly and willfully obtain a credit report under false pretenses, don’t you?

Flashback to 2003, headline from CBS News: “GOP Staffer Eyed In Memo Leak” CBS and the rest of the MSM jumped on this story like Michael Moore on a Whopper Deluxe (the burger, not a euphemism for his movies). Why? Because the story accomplished two things: (1) made the GOP look bad; and (2) expressed outrage at the appearance of “violating privacy.”

However, as of this moment (subject to change when pressured by the new media), the MSM isn’t touching this story quite yet. Newsday reported on it, but the other New York publication, the Old Gray Hag New York Times, doesn’t seem very interested in the activities of the staff of their senior Senator. Oh sure, the Washington comPost tries to report on it, but the headline reads “Democrats’ scrutiny of Steele assailed“, implying that the felony of identity theft counts as “scrutiny” and that Republicans are just being partisan in their complaints. The comPost story also neglects to mention Schumer’s connection to the staffers.

Not only was privacy raped, but so was the law. The MSM’s reaction? (Yawwwwwnnnn!) While Schumer may have had no knowledge and was correct to report the matter to authorities, you’d figure that the story would still get some play…like it did when Hatch dealt with his staffer, right?

Nope…no liberal media bias.

CNN: "Katrina worse than beheadings"

Soledad O’Brien, CNN’s eye candy reporter who once referred to a cow in a puddle of water as “that poor water buffalo”, has graced us with another poignant observation. From NewsMax:

CNN’s “American Morning” host Soledad O’Brien said Tuesday that Hurricane Katrina evacuees housed at the Superdome were worse off than beheading victims in Baghdad.

The normally mild-mannered newswoman offered the overwrought observation while speaking at Redbook Magazine’s “Movers and Shakers” awards luncheon in New York.

According to the New York Daily News, O’Brien blurted out:

“It is a sad thing to watch military veterans cry as they tell you the beheadings in Baghdad were less horrific than what they saw as 30,000 people marched from the Superdome through a shopping mall and onto buses to who knows where.”

Ms. O’Brien didn’t identify the veterans who told her that Katrina victims would have been better off being beheaded.

Emphasis mine. What you rather experience: (A) A category 4 or 5 hurricane through which you would likely (though not guaranteed) live; or (B) Having your head sawed off by bloodthirsty Islamofascist terrorists while you were awake, and would have a 100% chance of not surviving it?

Hmmm…decisions, decisions.
