Politico has replaced Drudge
Cheenee gave the first interview his current "I'm a Fucking Crazy Man" national tour to Politico, in their offices, right down the street and around the corner from the current digs of The Dick and his famiglia.

Politico talked about it and got the ball rolling.

And there we are today.

"Pelosi"

That's the story now.

We all watched it. Like we always do. Doing our now-perfect imitation of the frog in the pot of water with the temperature going up and us just watching the needle on the thermometer.





And it all goes back to Politico. It always does.

1. We are too busy fighting each other to fight the other side.
Many think because the Media has talked about the GOP as being in demise,
they are not a threat. I say it is precisely because the media
has taken up the cause of "what should the GOP do to come back",
that we should be vigilant....because while we are laughing at the GOP,
they are plotting more of their sneaky tricks and enlisting the media's
help to get them done as usual.

And yes, Politico was promoted hard and often for a reason.
Those who don't think so are not as smart as they think.

3. That is their sole purpose.
Drudge had lost any credibility he had so Politico was created to push the propaganda and pretend to be unbiased. I don't read anything that uses politico as a source.

9. Right as Glenn Greewald regularly documents Politico is a conduit for Drudge to the MSM

4. Politico is like the Devil himself...
Mixing truth with lies to keep people confused.

I caught on week one... now I don't even trust those I thought did an OK job there... I may even distrust them most of all.

5. Never forget: It was BUSH himself to first promote poltico.com at one of his FEW Press Conferences.
I don't trust politico any more than NewsMax. It has a nicer wrapping and mixes thoughtful reporting in the mix to convince the populace they're "fair." But they're NOT. :evilgrin:

8. Just a reminder ..... as we tear each other apart loving or hating Pelosi ......
..... just how she was interjected into the story.

The legitimizing and rehabilitation of The Dick.
