Dr. Helen has laments getting a pitch from a PR person who obviously didn’t do their homework,
Dear Dr. Helen,
As a fan and avid reader, congratulations all around for the big victory this last election, definitely a team effort.
And to spread the holiday cheer this season, I’d like to send you, on behalf of our publisher (a staunch Dem), comp. copies of our official 2007 George Bush Out of Office Countdown Calendar.
Dr. Helen replied, “If you actually read my blog and were an ‘avid fan’ you would know that I would never want such a calendar.” As readers of my blog know, I just love “staunch” Democrats–yes, this blog just sings their praises all day. Right.”
Just yesterday I received a pitch for an interview with someone “famed for her time on â??The Bachelorâ? and â??The Bachelorette,â? and is set to become the single girlâ??s biggest champion with her new book ….”
Well, have we made the big time or what! My first reaction was to quickly hit delete. But then I realized that if some PR person could actually send this pitch to us, the rest would be worth reading. I was NOT disappointed,
With input from experts and women across America, (her) book about the upsides of being single, the importance of being happy alone before getting in a relationship, and the joy that comes with waiting for Mr. Right.
And if I wasn’t swooning by now, here’s the kicker,
Just in time for Valentineâ??s Day: (she) will start giving interviews on 1/23â?¦ just in time for Valentineâ??s Day.
Now I’m thinking that this bad of a pitch should get the response it deserves,
Why yes, we would LOVE to have The Bachelorette, on Pundit Review Radio.
Maybe we could quiz her on geopolitical strategery or the Iraq Study Group? Surely, our listeners want to hear what she has to say about how best to deal with the insurgency in Iraq!
As Dr. Helen said,
Wouldn’t it be nice if the clueless PR places that send out PR spam would at least take the time to read or at least look at the blogs they send this crap to? Honestly, are PR people that damn lazy?
Nancy’s right on schedule. Three significant missteps already. The unforced errors are piling up fast and the game hasn’t even started. She is Kerryesque in her ability to be her own worst enemy.
Certainly someone told her what an awful, potentially disastrous, selection Jack Murtha was for Majority Leader? Disgraced, impeached federal judge Alcee Hastings for Chair of the Intelligence Committee? Come on. Now this. The latest video is over at Hot Air; the key exchange,
THOMAS FERRARO, REUTERS: (INAUDIBLE) blame the surging violence in Iraq on al Qaeda deny the country is in the midst of a civil war?
NANCY PELOSI (D-CA), HOUSE SPEAKER-DESIGNATE: My response on the president’s representations are well known. But the 9/11 Commission dismissed that notion a long time ago and I feel sad that the president is resorting to it again.
Where to start? The 9/11 Commission Report was released on July 24, 2004. Al Qaeda in Iraq was a factor then (ever hear of Al Zarqawi?), they are an even bigger factor today. The 9/11 Commission didn’t even address the issue of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

This is the natural result of a secular humanist/multicuturalist society. This is where it leads boys and girls.
From today’s Townhall.com by Dennis Prager.
Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim elected to the United States Congress, has announced that he will not take his oath of office on the Bible, but on the bible of Islam, the Koran.
He should not be allowed to do so — not because of any American hostility to the Koran, but because the act undermines American civilization.
First, it is an act of hubris that perfectly exemplifies multiculturalist activism — my culture trumps America’s culture. What Ellison and his Muslim and leftist supporters are saying is that it is of no consequence what America holds as its holiest book; all that matters is what any individual holds to be his holiest book.

Is the L.A. Times reporting unconfirmed enemy propaganda from an Iraqi stringer with ties to the insurgency? Or is the paper simply misreporting the facts, and failing to seek out and report the military’s side of the story?
We want to thank Patterico for joining us once again on Pundit Review Radio to discuss his LA Times-Ramadi investigation. We even got a surprise call from Tom Blumer of BizzyBlog whose tip got this investigation going.
This is citizen journalism at its best.
The interview is also available for download at iTunes.

The Democrats did the right thing, telling Nancy and the Gang NO when it comes to putting Jack Murtha in a leadership position. This is a great sign of sanity for the Democrats. If they can maintain an anti-Pelosi, centrist coalition, that is going to go a long way towards solidifying their position in the majority. I’m not saying that is a good thing, just that that is the only way the Democrats can do it. The country didn’t suddenly lurch to the left and adopt the far left positions of Nancy and the liberal democrats. They are looking for a change from the status quo of the Republican congress that forgot why they got the majority in the first place.
Now for the Republicans, what have they done to help themselves since the election? Select Mel Martinez as chairmen of the party over a guy like Michael Steele? What a bad, bad move. A missed opportunity of epic proportions.
Red State had the best line of all calling Martinez’s selection, The Harriet Miers of GOP Chairs. Ouch.
How about their picks for leadership in the Senate? Mitch McConnell and Trent Lott. Talk about tone deaf. Sure, McConnell is a solid conservative, and Lott knows how to operate in the Senate and get things done. But there is more to it than that. What about the media, the public face of the party? McConnell is old news at a time when the party needs a fresh face. Hugh Hewitt disagrees writing that McConnell will be a SUPERB minority leader. With all due respect, that is the ultimate in insider opinion. For people who aren’t rabid political junkies like us, McConnell means more of the same from the GOP, another tired old face.
Trent Lott? Please. Who could be worse in a leadership position? Lott was one of the most vocal opponents of the spending and earmark reform movement.
Who can forget his infamous quote about the reformist Porkbusters,
“I’ll just say this about the so-called porkbusters. I’m getting damn tired of hearing from them. They have been nothing but trouble ever since Katrina. We in Mississippi have not asked for more than we deserve. We’ve been very reasonable.”
Recent guest on Pundit Review Radio Dean Barnett, also blogging at Hugh Hewitt, sums it up well in a post Lott back on Top,
Trent Lott has won the number two job among Republicans in the Senate! Whoopee! If thereâ??s one message that the electorate sent the Republican Party last week, itâ??s that we hadnâ??t given them enough of Trent Lott. I cannot adequately express my delight that Senate Republicans have moved with such expediency to right this egregious wrong.
Mary Katherine Ham thinks both sides are crazy, here is a new Ham Nation video called The Dysfunctional Exes of American Politics
Both sides have their problems, but I think today’s House vote by the Dems is one giant leap forward for the Democrats and so far, more of the same from the GOP.
