A: Steve Kroft, who somehow managed to do an entire interview with the President without speaking — or at least, without speaking about Solyndra, Congressional calls for Attorney General Holder’s impeachment, the MF Global scandal (and in particular, the role played by top Obama fundraiser Jon Corzine), or Elena Kagan’s involvement in the legislative guidance of ObamaCare before her appointment to SCOTUS.
Though in his defense, Kroft did manage to get through the entire bit of surreal, activist fluffery without once finding himself trapped in an invisible box, or slipping on an unseen banana peel.
So there’s that.

So, would you start by closing down the nation’s ports? Evulse Barack Obama.
That was a very pubic hummer.
Q: Steve Kroft Huummmmmmmm? Ommmmmmmmmmmmm? Hummmmmmm!!
A: President Obama [sound of a law lecturer pounding the table with both shoes]
The hummer and the hummee.
JPeth’s statistics are RAAAAACIST!
“We! Will! Bury! Y—your head in my lap!” — Barack “li’l Nikita” Obama
Going back to the earlier thread: “People are going to say, ‘You know what? A good captain would have had us in some smooth waters and sunny skies at this point.’ And I don’t control the weather.”
As a sailor, I can’t begin to tell you how much this analogy pisses me off. A good captain checks the effin’ weather forecast and charts a course around the worst storms. A good captain heads to a safe harbor to ride out the storm. A bad captain — one who never worked a ship but rather was handed a vessel by a well-connected family friend; one who’s been told since Day One that he’s the smartest captain in any harbor — well, he just barrels on into the worst storms, consequences be damned. He doesn’t bother to tell his passengers that rough seas are ahead; no, he insists that everything is fine. And when these passengers take him to task for stupidly endangering their lives, he belittles them for complaining about a little seasickness.
This Captain Ohab that we have at the wheel is single-mindedly pursuing his obsession, and he doesn’t care what sacrifices the rest of us make in that pursuit. Of course the Chocolate Jesus, if he read Melville at all, read it through the prism of racial justice or something, and won’t understand his role in our current mess at all. Still insists he’s the smartest skipper in the harbor, though.
Barry would be the first man puking over the side when the seas get a little bumpy. Who the fuck is he kidding?
Hey, so what if the ship founders. Just walk on water.
Like teleprompter jesus.
Rush is playing a clip from that MSNBC morning show with the former Republican guy nobody watches.
It seems we the American people are not worthy of our saviour, Barak Hussein Obama mmm… MMM… mmm….
Last para from the Pethoukoukis piece:
Why. Why do we insist on doing that. Maybe the Berlin Wall fell over. Maybe Chavez finally got property rights. Maybe Mike Moore will donate all he has to the poor.
With that out of his system, maybe now Alec Baldwin will go meditate on a mountaintop. Maybe Barky will grow a sudden sense of respect for classical liberalism and now go fight the Beltway hammer and tongs.
[…] the courage to call Holder and Kagan out in defense of Congress’ constitutional privileges, understanding that the MSM will happily help spin the spectacle to the advantage of the Democrats and […]
Q: What do you get when you cross a 60 Minutes reporter with a mime?
A: A panta-loon?
If we were smart, we’d be producing Steve Kroft bobbleheads and marketing them to “news organizations” as a money-saving alternative to overpaid human interviewers.
