Like Jim Treacher, I haven’t watched David Letterman in years.

Letterman’s disgusting attacks on Sarah Palin and her family turned me off for good. If you want a great laugh on that subject, read Jim Treacher’s classic Letterman post HERE.

Letterman is one of those liberal comedians who clearly thinks of himself as someone who speaks truth to power. Apparently no one told him that the new Obama campaign slogan is FORWARD, because he’s still completely obsessed with George W. Bush.

The absurdity of Letterman’s position was even noticed by the left leaning Mediaite. When speaking about Obama, who has continued most of Bush’s programs and has benefited from them, he said…

“What more do we want this man to do for us, honest to god,” asked Letterman to applause.

By the way, do the editors at Mediaite realize that the word God is usually capitalized?

Here’s the video via Breitbart TV.

Watch below as CNN’s Piers Morgan is stunned when the Dalai Lama says he loves George W. Bush.

I think Morgan was expecting him to name The One instead…

I can think of two good reasons why the Dalai Lama would love George W. Bush.

He did more for AIDS victims in Africa than well… anyone ever.

And unlike Obama, he never made the Dalai Lama leave the White House through the service exit by the trash…

Instapundit links as does Ann Althouse. Thanks!

This story came to my attention via the liberal genius known as Ezra Klein.

Mark today as the day the American left officially ran out of ideas.

They’re trying to recycle an old Bush protest movement as a “new” offshoot of the Occupy movement.

Can you even tell the difference?

THEN: Billionaires for Bush

NOW: Occupy Romney

Obama is still trying to make this about Republicans. Nancy Pelosi has moved on to blaming Wall Street.

A few years ago Obama, Pelosi and almost every other member of their party blamed one person. The president.

What a difference a Democrat administration makes…

NBC’s Brian Williams is one of those serious news reporters who reports serious news so it’s no surprise that he took serious umbrage with that serious photo of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer pointing her finger at President Obama.

Except for that time when he pointed his own bony finger at President George W. Bush on national TV.

I saw this article today on Instapundit and knew I had to not only write about it but also encourage others to read it.

The argument presented in the piece is that since Obama has embraced and in some cases expanded the policies of George W. Bush, liberals have been forced to make a no-win choice. Either Obama was a liar or George W. Bush was right all along. Timothy Dalrymple makes a brilliant case here…

Ironically, the roots of Obama’s failure do lay in the Bush administration — but not in the way progressives think. It was not so much the Bush administration, as it was liberal hatred of the Bush administration, that set Obama up for failure.

Throughout the eight years of the Bush administration, it was almost an article of faith on the Hard Left that anything the dreaded “King George” decreed was not only unwise and unnecessary, but immoral, irrational, and probably illegal, motivated not by cold facts and prudence but by cowboy-ish jingoism, the profits of the military-industrial complex and an enduring theocratic impulse. With foreign policy, military actions, homeland security, and the economy, there was precious little need for careful examination of the rationale for Bush administration decisions. If Bush did it, it was foolish and probably criminal, because Bush was not motivated by reason and love for country but by greed and war-lust and a crude evangelical superstitions.

So what do you do when your liberal savior extends and even expands the great majority of those policies?

The next and final installment of the Dark Knight film series is The Dark Knight Rises.

The trailer below indicates distinct themes of class warfare.

This isn’t surprising considering Frank Miller, the creator of The Dark Night, is no fan of #OWS…

Everybody’s been too damn polite about this nonsense:

The “Occupy” movement, whether displaying itself on Wall Street or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment. “Occupy” is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.

Also consider the comparisons which were made in 2008 between The Dark Knight film and the anti-terror policies of President George W. Bush.

For the newest film, John Nolte of BIG Hollywood provides a transcript of a key exchange between Batman & Catwoman…

“You think this is going to last… There’s a storm coming, Mr. Wayne. You and your friends had better batten down the hatches. Because when it hits you’re all going to wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.”

Sound familiar?

Here’s the official trailer. Judge for yourself.

Watch below as Tavis Smiley of the publicly funded PBS tries to recycle the Bush lied meme and gets roundly dissed by the hosts and guests of MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

Tavis Smiley’s argument is pathetic and conveniently ignores the countless examples of dishonesty and obfuscated back room sessions employed by the Obama Administration since January 2009.

I’m a little late to this game by blogging standards. A zillion other blogs have already commented on New York Times columnist Paul Krugman’s vile, divisive, blatantly partisan hit piece on 9/11.

I purposely waited because I refused to acknowledge his position on September 11th but also because I wanted some time to think about its meaning. I have come to the following conclusions…

1. Liberals are in a state of absolute panic and they’re lashing out. In the last few weeks, we’ve seen a spike in political attacks from left on the Tea Party and this is just more of the same. I really think in Paul Krugman’s twisted little mind, he sees 9/11 as a day when people feel a strong sense of patriotism. That rarely works out well for liberals. Their argument has been steadily losing and that’s not what was supposed to happen. Obama was supposed to usher in a new age of progressive politics which would last for decades. Then Scott Brown was elected, then the Democrats suffered massively in the 2010 mid-terms, then Wisconsin. Tomorrow, a Republican may be elected in Anthony Weiner’s district in Brooklyn. Things aren’t going their way and they are freaking out.

2. Liberals like Paul Krugman feel like 9/11 was stolen from them. Stay with me here because this is a fairly twisted piece of psychology I’m about to lay down. In the same way that the Paul Krugmans of the world believe that Bush “stole” the election, there’s a place in the back of their minds they rarely mention out loud where they think that if 9/11 had happened on Al Gore’s watch, they would have benefited politically. They are, in a sense, “jealous” that 9/11 happened on Bush’s watch and angry because they believe Bush benefited politically from a historical event that should have benefited them.

3. Liberals are still really uncomfortable with displays of American patriotism. If you have a liberal friend or family member, ask them how they feel when they hear a crowd start chanting USA! USA! They cringe. They hate it. They’re embarrassed by it. The average progressive has been convinced by Democrats and their media allies that they should be ashamed of America. On a day like 9/11 there’s a lot of talk about American patriotism as well as talk of God and prayers. This stuff is toxic to many liberals. I think that’s what Paul Krugman really meant when he said 9/11 has been “poisoned.”

4. Liberals are always trying to change the narrative of 9/11. In September of 2009, Obama’s first September as president, he tried to make 9/11 a day of national service and community volunteerism. While national service and volunteerism are nice ideas, they really have nothing to do with 9/11. It’s also noteworthy that Obama visited Ground Zero for the first time as president in May of 2011. Why did it take him so long? He skipped two 9/11 ceremonies in New York as president of the United States. Even this weekend he was passing out food at a soup kitchen. What does that have to do with 9/11? Nothing. In fact, the Obama Administration was pushing “Grandparents Day” this 10 year anniversary of 9/11. Look it up. A nice idea to be sure but nothing to do with 9/11. Liberals wrongly view 9/11 as a right wing celebration when in fact it is a national day of mourning for all Americans.

None of this excuses Paul Krugman for using his platform at the New York Times to verbally defecate on his fellow Americans on the most solemn day of remembrance in modern American history. The simple fact that he disallowed comments on the piece proves that he knew exactly how most Americans would react.

That’s all I have to say about Paul Krugman and his vile views. I will now exercise my right as an American to ignore him in the same way millions of other patriotic American voters have been ignoring his party in recent years.
