Here’s a clip from C-Span: (not really)

And a hat tip to HillBuzz for doing my Star Wars homework:

The scene above is from the last Star Wars movie, with Natalie Portman’s Senator Amidala commenting that, “This is how Liberty dies, to thunderous applause”, as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine declares himself Emperor and all of his followers, sycophants, and media-enablers cheer.

Thank goodness I’m lucky to have “Luke Skywalker” represent me in Congress :) Glenn Nye, a Democrat who listened to his constituents, now that is the hopeychangey I can get onboard with ! Glenn voted NO. Thank you.

Obama’s Return to the “My Pet Goat” Moment ?

As the horrific details of the Fort Hood shootings were unfolding on t.v. yesterday, Shep Smith of Fox News throws it to the President’s live comments addressing the situation. Americans, looking for the reassurance we were not under attack, thinking this could be a successful Fort Dix Terror Plot? Nope. Obama begins with 2 minutes of oddball shout-outs to a few people in the audience of the gig he was attending. Feel the disconnect…

Opening comments:

THE PRESIDENT: Please, everybody have a seat. Let me first of all just thank Ken and the entire Department of the Interior staff for organizing just an extraordinary conference. I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow was around, and so I want to give a shout-out to that Congressional Medal of Honor* winner. It’s good to see you. (Applause.)
My understanding is, is that you had an extremely productive conference. I want to thank all of you for coming and for your efforts, and I want to give you my solemn guarantee that this is not the end of a process but a beginning of a process, and that we are going to follow up. (Applause.) We are going to follow up. Every single member of my team understands that this is a top priority for us. I want you to know that, as I said this morning, this is not something that we just give lip service to. And we are going to keep on working with you to make sure that the first Americans get the best possible chances in life in a way that’s consistent with your extraordinary traditions and culture and values.
Now, I have to say, though, that beyond that, I plan to make some broader remarks about the challenges that lay ahead for Native Americans, as well as collaboration with our administration, but as some of you might have heard, there has been a tragic shooting at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas.

There. Feel better? Reassured? While he eventually addressed Fort Hood, literally reading his “heartfelt compassion” from note cards as though he had no heart, we need to remind our President he is the glue that holds our country together and start behaving like it. Stop campaigning and start leading!

Many thanks to Hot Air for the video and transcript.

Also, best online coverage seems to be at Hot Air using many media sources with open discussions.

Update: Why was Nidal Malik Hasan still in the Army? And is Obama having problems addressing this situation because:

Fort Hood shooter was member of Homeland Security Panel advising Obama!

Michelle Bachmann’s Call to Action – Make a House Call on Congress!

Noon, Thursday, November 5th, 2009, Capitol Hill Steps.

From Rep. Bachmann’s press release:

Make a House Call on Congress on November 5th and Stop the Government Take Over of Health Care!

November 5th, 2009

Democrat leadership in the House wants to pass a government run health care bill before Veteran’s Day, and it’s up to us to make sure this prescription for socialized medicine doesn’t pass.

If you can come to Washington to look your Member straight in the eye and tell them to keep their hands off your heatlh care, do it. If you can’t make it to Washington, go to your Member’s district office. And, if you can’t do that at least call and email.

Also, Americans for Prosperity is organizing a House Call to legislators district offices on Thursday at noon, and I encourage you to check out their website at www.americansforprosperity.org to see how you can take part in their efforts if you can’t make it to D.C.

Thanks so much and let’s keep up the fight!

You can follow her on Twitter @BachmannforMN6 and visit her website for updates and more information.

Now I understand why Rep. Bachmann’s been referred to as the Second Most Hated Conservative Woman in America and flogged daily on the liberal blogs :)

Michelle Obama on NBC's Jay Leno Show

The much anticipated appearance by FLOTUS on the Jay Leno show last Friday night was uncomfortable at best, especially with that annoying sattelite delay that threw the timing off. As fans of comedy know, it’s a buzz killer. Or was it the dress with the dead bat stapled to her shoulder? Meh.

With all due respect, the “script” was not funny to begin with, including some black/white, wee-wee and poop zinger bombs. Sadly, probably White House approved…and obviously heavily edited for the video.

Much thanks to Michelle Obama’s Mirror’s Blog for putting together the complete set of Ten@Ten with Jay Leno

What are Sasha and Malia dressing up as for Halloween?
The H1N1 virus and Nurse Ratchet

Who disciplines the kids more, you or the President?
To be honest, we’ve both been focusing on Bo lately. He gets all we-weed up just like they do over at FOX. I just hope we can break him of that habit so we won’t have to ban him from the White House too.

Can you name all 6 Brady bunch kids in 10 seconds?
Sure, but did you notice that all of them were white?

What do you whisper to the President after one of his great speeches?
TOTUS did a good job that time, honey.

What’s on your iPod?
Well of course I still have all of Barack’s speeches, as well as all of Ludacris’ wonderful Raps, especially “Obama is Here”

Would the President rather have world peace or the White Sox win the World Series?
Ha, ha ha. You’re kidding right,Jay? “White” Sox? You crack me up.

Have you ever been nervous meeting someone for the first time, if so who? Nervous? No, not really, but Carla Bruni did elicit some other strong emotions.

What’s the President’s most annoying habit?
Well, I don’t really like it when he brings TOTUS into the bedroom. Other than that he’s perfect.

What’s the worst job you’ve ever had?
Standing next to Carla.

How did you celebrate Bo’s (the dog) birthday?
We let him poop on Air Force One.

Unfortunately, Jay also suffered his lowest ratings to date.

Now about that day job…….?

Sigh, How’s that War on Fox News going ?

H/T ew.com

I thought Sarah Palin was irrelevant ? Not according to the editors at The Nation, guess they’re a little bored with The Messiah too. Our country’s circling the drain and this is all they got?

Going Rouge is compiled by Richard Kim and Betsy Reed, two top editors of the left-leaning weekly The Nation, and includes essays by Nation regulars like Katrina vanden Heuvel, Naomi Klein, and Katha Pollitt. It’s the first release from OR Books, a fledgling outfit founded earlier this year by publishing veterans John Oakes and Colin Robinson that “embraces progressive change in politics, culture and the way we do business,”

Please, more REAL journalists like Jake Tapper !
