The television at Wevoteprocat headquarters has difficulty with NBC. Therefore, it makes my Meet the Press experience sometimes less than enjoyable. The poor reception rendered Giuliani almost unbearable. Or was it the reception?
Sen. Joe Biden elaborated on the CIA tape destruction and reminded voters that he's still running for president. On foreign policy, he's the best candidate. Dem, Republican, Indy, or Cat, you can't argue with that. Newt Gingrich also made an appearance and reminded us why he shouldn't be president.
Face the Nation featured Chuck Hagel talking about the same tapes.
On Thursday, Mitt had has JFK moment. Well, that is if JFK's moment wasn't mesmerizing and failed to captivate voters. Although he did blab this doozy: "freedom requires religion." Really? Well, I'm fucked. Anyway, I have no problem with Mtt's religion. I have a problem with the fact that he's a robot. His other zinger: "Americans tire of those who would jettison their beliefs, even to gain the world." Well, I think they should have grown exhausted over a moderate Republican governor of a notoriously liberal state who abruptly shifted his beliefs to capture votes in a GOP presidential caucus. Certainly, they would tire of a guy like that.
Oprah also packed a stadium in South Carolina. However, Mark Halperin isn't convinced of its importance. As much as I miss Halperin at The Note, he seems too wonkish to convincingly assess America's voting patterns:
"American voters are not looking for a celebrity or talk show sidekick to lead them. Obama is an intelligent and thoughtful potential President, but Winfrey's imprimatur is unlikely to convey those traits to many undecided voters."
Uh, Americans do want a sidekick or celebrity to lead them. 40% of Oprah's viewers don't brush their teeth unless Oprah says it's cool. Suddenly, a washed up TV actor like Chuck Norris is a major endorsement. Fred Thompson is in this race because he was in Days of Thunder and Law and Order. Mark, I love them as much as you, but the voters are really that shallow.
