Obama Nominees Re-Fuel Right Wing Media
Just when Rush, Laura, Sean and company were grasping at straws and alienating listeners with their Johnny One Note criticisms of all things Obama, O’s vetting team hands them the brass ring on a silver platter.
As regular readers know, I voted for Obama, but railed vociferously during the campaign against Team O when they dropped the ball and let Hillary back into the game. They’ve done the same thing with their taxing cabinet and czar nominees, but this time it’s not Hillary being given the second chance, it’s the ultra-right Ministry of Communications, microphones on and pens at the ready.
I get an online feed from Newsmax, which is akin to a poor man’s American Spectator (the best and brightest the right wing has to offer) and here are some of their recent headlines since appointees began dropping like flies:
“Big Labor Buys Off Obama and You Pay”
“Help Defend Rush Limbaugh, Stop Obama’s Outrageous Plan”
“Daschle’s Paydays”
“Cheney Warns Nuke, Bio Attack Likely Under Obama”
This is not to say that criticism from the right wouldn’t have been hot and heavy regardless of Taxgate, but clearly this stumble out of the blocks by the Obama vetting crew has emboldened the pundits from the other side of the aisle.
Time for the new occupants of the White House to learn and recover from their mistakes, and realize that the stakes got a lot higher when they and their Blackberrys moved in.
