Revenge of the Bush

Grab'n some Bush
The Bush clan don't play it any different than the Clintons - Ask Mike Dukaka (Willy Horton) or John McCain (S.C primary) or John Kerry (Swift Boat). And I actually don't have a problem with that because politics if a tough business and if you get in the game you're going to get bloodied. And if you're taking on BOTH the Bush and Clinton crime syndicates you better expect to have both eyes cut by the 13th round of the fight - which is about where we are. Two more rings of the bell and we'll get a decision, unless someone can land a knockout blow and I know the challenger just took one to the kisser, but I don't see him on the mat yet.

There are a couple of reasons why Trump is still standing and one of them is what he actually said:
"When you're a star, they let you do it," Trump told Bush aboard a bus marked "Access Hollywood," the entertainment show Bush hosted before joining "Today" in May. "You can do anything. ... Grab them by the p---y. You can do anything."
It's the truth. Sorry people, I know it hurts to hear it and you wish it wasn't true but it is true and, as is his custom, the Elvis from Queens has blurted it out in an abrasive and direct fashion that makes the truth that much harder to swallow. If you're a star - a celebrity in sport, fashion, cinema, music, television, academia, philanthropy, etc. - you CAN do anything. Opportunities to grab some pussy open up in a way that mere mortals can scarcely imagine - Ask Billy Bush if you don't believe me because he knows all about it.
The unavoidable next question is: How many other people in the media have had similar conversations with Trump and, like Bush, decided to keep quiet? Bush is rightfully "embarrassed and ashamed" of his own conduct, but it seems unlikely that he is unique among TV news stars.
Umm, yeah, you can say that again. What a pathetic joke this entire "hot mic" story is - from start to finish it's a lie. Check out this bullshit from CNN Money on how it happened:
The videotape of Donald Trump that is shaking up the presidential election sat forgotten on a shelf at NBC's "Access Hollywood" until just a few days ago.
On Monday, according to an NBC source, one of the entertainment newsmagazine's producers remembered Trump's 2005 taping session with former "Access" co-host Billy Bush.
Trump's offensive comments about Alicia Machado were still making waves. And the Associated Press had just published a detailed story quoting former "Apprentice" employees saying Trump "was lewd and sexist" while taping the reality show.
With that in mind, a producer dug up the tape.
A producer? What producer might that be? Does that producer have a name?
No producer "dug up the tape" - This video has been waiting on the shelf for months and was released coincidentally on the day that WikiLeaks released John Podesta's email communications with HRC. There will be more. There will be a lot more coming out over the next 4 weeks and it's going to be an amazing thing to watch.

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. A born rebel with the heart o
