Child's Play

Freak Show vs. Bogeyman:

The Lyin' King?

While my original intent was the feeling that this is getting old, or rather childish. Then to see the nature of the exchange on Morning Joe, it takes some perspectivising.* Martin Bashir covers another aspect of the picture show. Back to the future, I mean Morning Joe, who is in the drivers seat? Mika or Joe? The image of President Obama getting into a car at an auto show. Who is in the drivers seat? Politically the President is. But it is like one of those drivers-ed cars with a second wheel and brakes on the passenger side, and congress is in that seat. But with Batman, I mean Bashir on West, Republicans would have no message if they did not have imagined monsters: "equality of achievement", "economic dependency"and "enslaving".

So...bottom line, Political is a double-edged sword. There is the race and there is the economy. Congress plays a role in both, and negative is not just ugly, it can have actual facts. So Mika can say that Obama is behind the wheel. And Joe can say he is not. Now you may see that the president is not the only one in the car, with a hand on the wheel.

* not that I take the Mediaite perspective (Donny Deutsch made a reasonable point, see negative/ugly/facts.)

OH, THE IRONY!!!

Is it just me
or is it just ice.

It certainly seems ironic that terrorists are confessing while politicians are pleading their case on the tortured field of justice. Irony may be in the eye of the beholder, yet the competition for finding the logic in both cases is staggering, and maybe stronger in the case of martyrdom. Maybe after mentioning the irony, I have ironed this out, for was not Nixon a martyr of sorts? To what I don't know. But justice is the irony, in that both cases short circuit it. One from the top, the other from the bottom, the irony may be cut by the idea that they are getting their orders top down, while justice it seems is bottoms up and down the drain.
[Speaking of hot air and bubbles: OK it was hydrogen.]

ACTION ITEM !!! [
There is enough irony in the pardon situation, the confession situation may be more clear, as making martyrs will continue the war on terror. The irony is not in the terrorists, it is in the war, where justice would at least take away one recruitment tool. Not to mention if you are not with us, you are against us. If terrorists are for the death penalty, where are we? It is not irony that terrorist don't want justice, because in this case the process has been violated, which gets in the way of their martyrdom. By forgoing any change in the process, they risk progress being made, and one more recruitment tool lost. That may be the exception that proves the irony, in that the administration used exceptional logic.

Meanwhile: It might be wise to keep or promote Patrick Fitzgerald. Speaking of Nixon, there is irony in the Nixon to China concept. And hope in the Obama from Chicago process. And justice may be around the corner, but economics is the bigger picture.
