Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Huckabee to prosecutor who was worried that Huck was too lenient on granting clemency to violent offenders: LOL!

Think I’m taking rhetorical liberties and embellishing the quote a little?  Think again.

Patterico has the details and the screen shots of letters between prosecutor Robert Herzfeld and Schmuckabee’s Deputy Legal Counsel Cory Cox.  So what was Cox’s response to Herzfeld’s concern that Schmuck was letting violent convicts out on a willy-nilly basis?  This:

The Arkansas Leader breaks it down:

“The governor read you (sic) letter and laughed out loud,” Cox wrote about a life-and-death situation that somehow amused Huckabee – or maybe he didn’t really laugh out loud and Cox was just making it up, trying to sound clever. 

Cox should have been fired in any case, either for disclosing the governor’s morbid sense of humor or simply lying about it.

“He wanted me to respond to you,” Cox continued, ending with this zinger: “I wish you success as you cut down on your caffeine consumption.” …

Oh, the wit…the hilarity!  I am ROTFLMAO!  If you don’t find the amusement in granting clemency or pardoning of rapists and murderers, then you are seriously humor-impaired!

Exit question: If Huck’s 2012 aspirations weren’t fatally wounded before, is it safe to assume they are now?

“Jobs” summit…isn’t

Question: Since over 70% of the jobs in this country are provided by small businesses, wouldn’t it make sense to invite the largest representatives of small businesses to a so-called “jobs summit”?

Of course it would make sense.  And that’s why the economic illiterate in the Oval Office didn’t bring them to the “summit”.  Details:

As noted by the Washington Times‘s Kara Rowland, the list of summit attendees “lacks a diversity of opinion.” Labor unions and liberal economists, who supported Obama’s election and the stimulus bill, are among the honored guests. Not on the list? The largest business organization in the country, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, with whom the White House has engaged in a public feud, and the National Federation of Independent Business.

Unions don’t provide jobs…they destroy the companies that provide them (see Government Motors and Chrysler, among others).  SEIU, the thug arm of the child sex trafficking abetters at ACORN, is in attendance.  What SEIU has to contribute to job creation is anyone’s guess.

As for the handful of private companies that are there, I’m sure it’s just a great big ol’ coinkidink that they were nearly all prominent B.O. donors and supporters.

This isn’t a “jobs summit”, people.  It’s an echo chamber.

Quote of the day, “Babs Boxer’s selective English” edition

Tomato, to-mah-to…right?  From Andrew Breitbart (video at link):

“You call it ClimateGate.  I call it Email-Theft-Gate.”

Publishing the contents of the Pentagon Papers (which were leaked in violation of federal law) in order to shine the light of truth and end a war (Vietnam) was totally acceptable.  Publishing the contents of e-mails between conniving junk scientists in order to shine the light of truth and blow the whistle on a multi-trillion dollar global fraud known as “climate change”, though, is soooooooo wrong.

Babs seems to be saying “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!”

Interesting, because as Ed Driscoll points out, Babs Boxer has sponsored the Military Whistleblower Protection Act.  Plus, she held public hearings into whether or not Bu$hitler McHitlerburton tried to neglect greenhouse gas emissions.  She’s been all about whistleblowing on defense contractors.  But for some reason, she’s less enthusiastic about whistleblowers who expose global scientific fraud.  Go figure.

Quips Jim Treacher:

Climategate is a story about computer hacking in much the same way Watergate was a story about parking garages.

Notes Allah:

Ace has been goofing on the shamelessness of this tactic since last week — leaks that help the left are always about the information obtained, leaks that hurt the left are always about the leak’s illegality — but it’s amazing to see someone as prominent as Boxer stoop to it. She could have simply taken the Jon Stewart route and said no, global warming isn’t in question, but yes, this is a scandalous betrayal of public trust. Doing so would have only helped her side, proving that she’s sincerely interested in the integrity of the science and not prone to the same squirrelly eagerness to ignore unhelpful information as the East Anglia boys. But she’s too stupid or corrupt to figure that out, so in the end the fake newsman has more credibility than a real senator.

Heh.
