I saw the interview with Obama but I couldn’t stomach watching Stephanopoulos fox trot with Hillary. No one makes the connection between her Rocky “I’m a fighter” routine and Bush’s “stay the course” mentality that has gotten us into this awful mess.

What is going on currently is nothing short of bizarre. In Hillary’s world every result is winning, even if she loses. She is like a tennis player who is down 5 love in the final set. She wins two games before losing the match 6-2, and claims she should be given the winning trophy because momentum is on her side. But what about the score? Don’t confuse her with such elitist concepts. She’s just a down home folk—have you noticed how Bill’s southern draw has increased exponentially during his 17 stops in a single day?

Russert was disgusting. They have the power to nip the non-issue of Reverend Wright in the bud but they refuse. The media will continue to behave accordingly. They have manufactured a neck-and-neck marathon race that does not in fact exist. They don’t report the news, they create it. If it doesn’t fit their agenda—like the major story in the New York Times about all of the Generals on the take for the Pentagon—the story goes unreported.

If you are looking for substance, read Tom Friedman’s amazing article in the New York Times this past weekend about Americans facing reality.

In the meantime, CNN continued non-stop this morning to suggest that there is an upset in the making in North Carolina. On what did they base this new drama—on the “fact” that Bill would not be going to all these cities if he didn’t know Hillary was going to win. Pathetic.
