Oops, the speech I linked to was AFTER the show’s cancellation had been decided.

Thank you for your mention, Ilana. I share your distaste for the guests mentioned. I cannot speak for the Judge but it seems likely that inclusion of such guests might have been a condition of the show’s existence. Even so, the Judge’s magnanimity appears to be following the example set by statesmen of a few centuries ago, and he demolished their arguments on unimpeachable grounds without fail. I also lost interest in these exchanges; I already knew what both sides were going to say, however I hoped it might be educational to people ‘waking up’ for the first time.

But the loss is still felt, deeply, mainly because of his speeches at the end of the show. I never thought this kind of material would ever make it onto any kind of public media. Here is a very good example from last week, and possibly the last straw for Fox:

Thank you for your generous consideration, Ilana.

“I call her The Stepford Wife.”
That works. I saw an excerpt of her speech introducing her husband. Her description of his hobbies went as follows: ‘Newt likes golf. Newt plays golf. Newt likes books. Newt has many books.’

My guess is Newt is playing the long game and thinks courting female housewives in Orange Country will pay dividends down the road.

I started to listen to the GOP Hispanic Messiah Marco Rubio – I can’t take this crap …. all these silly speeches

America is at a crossroads …. 2012 is the most important election … This President is devisive (Newt isn’t!!!) … we are getting like Europe … the President is abandoning Israel (which is about to be destroyed) …abandoning Iraq … we need strong moral values (Amen, Newt) … we need affordable energy … … family … God …the greatest thing that we can do for the world is be America …vision for America ….

First a quickie:

A good column by Larry Elder in WND about Republican pandering to the Hispanic vote:

http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/republicans-ridiculous-race-pandering/

Of course, Elder concedes that Ron Paul was the best on this “issue” but, naturally, he is unacceptable on defense. George Will, ironically, has a better take on Republican moronic thinking on the wars:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/republicans-need-more-than-rhetoric-on-defense/2012/02/07/gIQA5SF1zQ_story.html

Naturally, the CPAC finally “changed the rules” to make it harder for Ron Paul to “win” at this Warmonger Festival.

I find the “cut taxes and borrow more while not reducing spending” mentality rather insidious because (a) it makes government more attractive since the “goodies” appear to come without cost in the near-term and (b) it mortgages America’s future, thus binding future generations.

This is the face of Conservatism – 2012 – scream about Obama (eeeeek – liberal – eeeeek )for Romneycare, Bushian Bailouts, Affirmative Action and then do the SAME DAMN CRAP when they get into power.

C – PUKE!!!
