The 100 Days Night

July 26, 2010, T-Mac and Elliot Engel of NY. This is a couple of party hacks swapping talking points. After the initial pawn push in the opening half, the middle of the clip threatens to warm up, especially when the Fox head holds up the popularity of the POTUS to the ‘Bush did it’ line. However, T-Mac’s ball-control offense is tired, tired, tired.

I sort of hoped T-Mac would come out swinging a little harder. He enumerates the various policy ideas the GOP has made available, but the real papers that matter are the ones predating either party: the DoI, the Constitution, and the Federalist papers. This “your party did it”, “no, your party did it” stuff is the height of foppish.

Save The Country’–McCotter At SRLC

Thaddeus McCotter is heroic. He starts off with an “simple country lawyer” reference, going back to Anatomy of a Murder, and continues through a rousing speech with punchline sufficiently arid for Steven Wright.

Thaddeus McCotter: because not all rhetoric has to be served in ALL CAPS with a shot of adrenaline.

Update: Moelanche!

How About That Rep. Thaddeus McCotter?

Thaddeus McCotter appeared on PJTV, in a welcome outburst of sanity from within the beltway.
Topics proffered include:

  • Teleprompter Fatigue–recap of his house speech, looking forward to the ‘next’ American economy. Wealth redistribution.
  • A Government that Doesn’t Patronize–he offers biographical facts derived from growing up as the son of a Truman Democrat.
  • Back Room Deals & Parliamentary Tricks–the will of the American people is frustrated and the Democratic leadership has damaged the US Congress as an institution.
  • Race/Hate Card–The Left ascribes their sins to you. Just another gutter tactic of the Left.
  • Predictions for Next Year–He’s as hopeful as an Irish Catholic gets, because of the American people.

Here he is his YouTube channel, if you care to subscribe.

His latest RedEye appearance, demonstrates the superiority of his baseball knowledge to that of the POTUS, and mentions Stormy Daniels, with a sad, sad campaign slogan suggestion. Then the Michael Steele riff, which works *against* McCotter, absolutely makes the clip.
