INT: HOME OFFICE A phone rings in Chappaqua.

Huma - "hello."

Robby - "Hi Huma, I wanted to go over the Iowa marketing plan and messaging. Is she available?"

Huma - "Not a good time Robby, she's pretty upset about Maureen Dowd's 'Open Letter' and she's locked herself in our bedroom. Keren's here though."

Robby - "Hey Karen, well, it's kinda important Huma 'cause the Iowa tour is coming up fast. Let's decide on a theme and you can fill her in once she pulls herself together."

Huma - "That's fine, she thinks this whole 'listening tour' is bullshit anyway, but it seemed to work in New York so... whatever."

Robby - "Great. Do you have the charts? I've been trying to email them to all of you, but it keeps bouncing. What email are you guys using these days anyway?"

Keren - "I've got them. They came into my MSNBC account. Go on Robby, we're looking at them now."

Huma - "what is this crap?"

Robby - "This is her logo and slogans Huma, we've been over this already."

Huma - "That's what your friends in DC came up with? I knew we should have gone to New York for creative. I thought we were looking to use the symbol for female - you know, the circle with the upside-down cross coming out the bottom."

Robby - "We did! This is the gender neutral version. A blending of the male and female symbols that says 'Hillary' loud and proud. It's very LGBTQ."

Huma - "I hate it and so will she."

Keren - "She's already approved it Huma, lets go to the next slide. That's the subject of today's call."

Robby - "Thank you Keren, so right, where were we, oh yes, the theme of our listening tour. Now, we've had a bunch of ideas, so I've put them all on this slide but there really is only one worth..."

Huma - "I'm hanging up now. This is more embarrassing that Carlos Danger."

Keren - "Hold on Huma, we need to agree on this. It's not the formal theme and messaging of the trip, this is the informal 'fun' narrative that we spoon feed the press. They'll say whatever we want them too so if you think she'll like one of the other shows more then..."

Huma - "You idiots, she doesn't 'like' any of these shows. We're going to have to brief her on whatever we choose, so do you think she can learn enough about Scooby-Doo in a 45 minute briefing to keep her from sounding like a fool if anyone asks her about it?"

Robby - "We can do that."


If you cook these hacks some dinner it really pays off - They'll pretty much print whatever you ask them to write about your candidate (if she's a Democrat). It's a grubby job, and someone's got to do it


Clampett News Network went so far as to publish an op-ed by Martha P(l)ease (aka Claire Underwood) blathering about the brilliance of HRC's sneaky campaign launch - a warm reboot of a long running cartoon for the liberal political consumer. Will it sell? Of course it will - it's what's on the screen and the press is going to badger and cajole the primary voters of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina with this marketing campaign until the will of each and every Democrat is broken. That's the strategy and though the DemLeft party establishment is trying to run the Mystery Machine into George Bush's ditch at mile marker 2008 we're well down Berry's dirty back road and coming up fast on a Y where decisions - long term decisions - are going to be made. 

Who in the broad US electorate is going to trust Hitlary to make those choices? There are not enough cartoon fans in America to put Velma Dinkley behind the wheel - Only Fred Jones (RINO) and Shaggy Rogers (Hippy) are allowed to drive and that ain't gonna change in 2016.

This whole Scooby Doo meme misses the mark except(!) for the name of the van - The Mystery Machine would seem to be the perfect name for the HRC Campaign for who among us really knows what the Mook Mafia is up to. But a better name for HRC's van is Straight Arrow from the 1977 drive-in classic "The Van" racing down the road with Dugan Hicks behind the wheel on it's way to the beauty pageant in "Little Miss Sunshine." Dugan will run over whoever gets in her way and plow straight ahead just like her logo "communicates" until someone runs her off the road and beats her.
A family determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant take a cross-country trip in their VW bus.
"NOBODY calls Dugan a TURD!"

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view

The 4th Estate "does not know"

Last night Jim Acosta sat down for an interview with Larry Sabato at a national symposium series presented by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics titled “Democracy in Perilous Times.” The evening’s topic was “ The Fourth Estate: Enemy of the People? ” and the crowd was warmly receptive of Acosta’s message which, boiled down to its essence, is that Donald Trump is a liar and he’s making life dangerous for reporters. Sabato introduced Acosta to the audience as Enemy #1 which drew mirthful laughter from the auditorium and then presented a short video montage of President Trump and his deplorable rubes insulting the reporter on many occasions over the past two years. This was all a set up for his first question which was, “how do you do your Job?” Acosta said the he accomplishes his duties by maintaining focus, reporting the story and telling the truth but acknowledged that it is difficult when the White House erodes the peoples faith in the press by bullying reporters.

A Apolitical Blues

Well my telephone was ringing, and they told me it was chairman Mao. You got to tell him anything 'cause I just don't want to talk to him now. According to the brilliant troubadour Lowell George the Apolitical Blues are " the meanest blues of all" and who am I to disagree with this soul man now after all these years of living by his maxim.  I first heard the song bursting from the 1972 vinyl of Little Feat's Alt-Rock-Country masterpiece "Sailin' Shoes" in the second story bedroom of my friend John's older brother Edie who, being about 3 years our senior, was instructing us on the importance of good music. This was circa 1975 and a formative time for my musical taste and overall aesthetic which, for better or worse, infuses every aspect of my existence including the KOTCB blog so a debt is owed this unforgettable "older brother" now that  he has shuffled off this mortal coil  and left us with smoky memories.
